1. Star or Angel -- always a star
2. Egg Nog or Hot Cocoa -- Trader Joe's salted caramel hot cocoa with Zingerman's vanilla marshmallows :beat
3. Candy Cane or Chocolate -- always chocolate
4. Christmas Day or Christmas Eve -- Anticipation is half the fun for me so Christmas Eve is usually my fave over the actual day: church service, dinner with my family, dressing in matching/coordinating Christmas jammies, leaving out cookies for Santa, getting to wrap gifts by the light of the tree... This will be the first Christmas Day that I have to share my kids so I'm not sure how I will feel after I drop them off.
5. Bake Cookies or Sing Carols -- I love to sing. I'm not GOOD at it but I love DOING it.
6. Wrap Gifts or Open Gifts -- Gifts are not my thing at all... which is why I don't care about receiving them AND I don't care about wrapping them "nicely," either. :innocent
7. Real Tree or Artificial Tree -- It was against our lease to have a real tree until five years ago but ever since, YES PLEASE. It's my very favorite part of the season so it's a whole experience: driving back & forth to the tree farm, cutting one down, having hot chocolate & checking out the gift shop, visiting Santa, setting up & decorating the tree when we get home.
8. The Grinch or Charlie Brown -- I will always be a CB fangurl.
9. Sugar Cookies or Gingerbread -- I could take or leave either.
10. Gift Wrap or Gift Bags -- Oh, I love gift bags but they are more expensive than gift wrap so gift wrap it is!
11. Pajamas or Sweater -- I spend almost every day in pajamas (WFH FTW!) but I do love a nice warm sweater so I can leave the house without having to wear a coat.
12. Ham or Turkey -- Either is fine.
