What is your favorite Christmas gift?
Anything that someone has made themselves. I love it when friends drop by with goodie bags filled with cookies they have baked, for instance.
What is your best memory of Christmas?
Watching my kids’ eyes light up when they saw what Santa left for them on Christmas morning and listening to them read the letter he always wrote them.
What do you prefer in a tree? Fake or real?
Real. The more Charlie Brown-ish the better.
What is your favorite Carol?
“Silent Night.”
What is your favorite Christmas Dinner?
We stopped having formal Christmas dinners because they require too much preparation and no one wants to sit down to a big, fancy dinner. Even though all of the kids are big now, they still get a lot of presents that they want to spend the day playing with such as video games and electronics.
We usually set up a buffet and everyone munches as they desire.
Do you wear a Santa hat at Christmas?
Sure do! And sometimes I wear antlers!
Have you ever seen Santa delivering gifts?
Yes, and had great conversations with him, too. A couple of times, I’ve even delivered carrots to the reindeer who were waiting outside while he took the presents out of his bag and left them on the hearth for the kids.
