Eggnog. Cider is for October.
2. Does Santa wrap presents or just set them under the tree?
Wrap - he has his own paper that doesn't get used for any other presents.
3. Colored lights on tree/house or white?
Colored at home with my parents. I prefer white lights outdoors. I have never had my very own tree.

7. Favorite Christmas memory as a child?
Getting a three speed bike as a child. I was so excited because I initially thought it must be fore my mom. Two of my later favorite memories involve Midnight Mass in Denver - one year I went with my then boyfriend and it snowed and the next year I went with a buch of exchange students. Both incredible experiences.
8. When and how did you learn the truth about Santa?
I don't remember, but when my sister and I went around finger printing all the adults (graphite powder and scotch tape) and getting handwriting samples, my parents figured that the jig was up. This all decades before the advent of CSI.

No. Where I come from, you don't do that unless your family is Italian, which mine isn't.

My mom's family isn't Italian and they always let us open one present Christmas Eve.
If we're talking Christmas albums, then Elvis' Christmas Album has to top the list. There's no other valid choice.
I can't login and I have no mail and it's been almost 24 hours. Maybe going over to google wasn't such a smart idea.
So I'll update when I can update, right now, I can't do squat.
