My computer at work croaked yesterday. It was a very bad start to my day. I hope all the backup precautions I took allow me to recover some of the things I would hate to lose. I am still not fully operational but I'll get there. Crashing computers are one of my least favorite things in the world. I guess that goes to how important they have become in my life. That's a pretty nice picture of me over there...
I saw this on my daughter K's blog and thought it would be a good excuse to change the subject. So here goes the holiday meme...
- Egg Nog or Hot Chocolate? Hot Chocolate. Egg Nog is wrong. Thick rich icky. I get a little queasy thinking about it.
- Does Santa wrap presents or just sit them under the tree? Wrapped. I figure Santa has stock in a paper company somewhere.
- Colored lights on tree/house or white? I like color.
- Do you hang mistletoe? We don't have any but I did mention to M that we should do it prior to our party. We never did.
- When do you put your decorations up? We put them up before Thanksgiving this year because of our schedule. The outdoor decorations went up quickly during a little spell of nice weather.
- What is your favorite holiday dish (excluding dessert)? Turkey. I don't eat turkey as often as I would like.
- Favorite Holiday memory as a child? Spending Christmas Eves at my grandparents. The food was always good and my grandpa always got a drunken Santa to show up.
- When and how did you learn the truth about Santa? I'm not sure but this was almost as devastating as finding out that Superman didn't exist.
- Do you open a gift on Christmas Eve? If I get the opportunity, yes.
- What kind of cookies does Santa get set out for him? Santa needs to lay off the cookies.
- Snow! Love it or dread it? It's beautiful but I really hate it.I did a short but not sweet post on this subject a short while ago.
- Can you ice skate? Yes. I used to love to skate. One of my high school jobs was working for the park district at one of the outdoor ice rinks. I played a lot of hockey while working that job. I had the kids trained to keep an eye out for the park district van. When it was coming I would drop my hockey gloves and stick and skate over to the non hockey rink.
- Do you remember your favorite gift? The best was a new bike I got when I was about 10.
- What's the most important thing about the Holidays for you? Helping the less fortunate. I'm trying to be better at this every year. I also love the chance to spend time with the kids.
- What is your favorite Holiday Dessert? Really good pumpkin pie.
- What is your favorite holiday tradition? Playing cash station
- What tops your tree? A star
- Which do you prefer Giving or Receiving? Gifts are fun to get but giving is much more rewarding
- What is your favorite Christmas Carol? When I was a kid it was Angels We Have Heard On High. I liked singing it. Now its anything from A Charlie Brown Christmas by the Vince Guaraldi Trio
- Candy Canes! Yuck or Yum? Yum! Yum.
