• Hot Chocolate or apple cider? Hot Chocolate

  • Turkey or Ham? Ham, hands down. Preferably cold.

  • Decorations on the outside of your house? Not specifically against them, but didn’t get around to it this year.

  • Do you enjoy going downtown shopping? Not really.
  • Favorite Christmas song?  Anything sung by my kids.

  • When is it too early to start listening to Christmas music? Anytime before Christmas.

  • Ever been kissed under mistletoe? Yes.
