Haven't done a holiday getting to know you in a while... won't you play along?

1. What is your favorite part of a holiday meal?
2. Will you be watching any football this week?
3. Do you go all out if you are celebrating holidays in your home or do you keep things low key?
4. Do you like cranberry sauce?
5. Have you decorated for Christmas yet?
6. Are you going out shopping for Black Friday and, if so, what are the things you're looking to score?
 
1. What is your favorite part of a holiday meal? Leftovers and stuffing (but I'm the only one in the family that likes stuffing!).
2. Will you be watching any football this week? Doubtful.
3. Do you go all out if you are celebrating holidays in your home or do you keep things low key? Looooow key
4. Do you like cranberry sauce? Didn't like it when I was a kid, but I do like it with leftover turkey now.
5. Have you decorated for Christmas yet? Not yet but will likely put the tree up this weekend - kids have been begging for it to go up.
6. Are you going out shopping for Black Friday and, if so, what are the things you're looking to score? Nope - avoid it like the plague
 
1. What is your favorite part of a holiday meal? This will sound silly, but my favorite part is cooking the meal. As for eating… the mashed potatoes.
2. Will you be watching any football this week? Not until Saturday for the UGA/GT game.
3. Do you go all out if you are celebrating holidays in your home or do you keep things low key? Somewhere in the middle. We fancy it up just a bit and break out the silver and china.
4. Do you like cranberry sauce? (gag) :td
5. Have you decorated for Christmas yet? No. Thanksgiving always comes first. The Christmas decorations don't come out until December 1.
6. Are you going out shopping for Black Friday and, if so, what are the things you're looking to score? Nope.
 
1. What is your favorite part of a holiday meal? STUFFING, FOR SURE GOTTA LOVE THE CARBS
2. Will you be watching any football this week? NO, NO AND NO
3. Do you go all out if you are celebrating holidays in your home or do you keep things low key? VERY LOW KEY
4. Do you like cranberry sauce? ONLY THE JELLIED KIND
5. Have you decorated for Christmas yet? IT'S NOT DECEMBER YET, IS IT????
6. Are you going out shopping for Black Friday and, if so, what are the things you're looking to score? DEFINATELY NOT, USED TO SHOP ON BF, BUT THE EXCITEMENT IS JUST NOT THERE ANYMORE...AND FOR THE STORES OPENING ON THURSDAY, AGAIN DEFINATELY NOT!!!
 
1. What is your favorite part of a holiday meal? Dessert definitely! Apple pie or the minty chocolate delights my Mother-in-law makes.
2. Will you be watching any football this week? We'll have the Lions game on, but I doubt I'll watch much.
3. Do you go all out if you are celebrating holidays in your home or do you keep things low key? Pretty low key
4. Do you like cranberry sauce? Not really
5. Have you decorated for Christmas yet? Nope, we'll go get our tree next weekend. I really don't love the clutter of it all over my house. (is that too grinch-like?)
6. Are you going out shopping for Black Friday and, if so, what are the things you're looking to score? Probably not. I used to go with my Mother-in-law every year, but now my goal is to find everything online and stay home in my jammies! I miss the tradition of going out though. It's just getting too crazy and people are too mean! It sickens me Christmas spirit of kindness and giving, so I try to avoid it now.

1. What is your favorite part of a holiday meal? Dressing and pineapple casserole
2. Will you be watching any football this week? Me personally, no. My kids and my daughter's BF are big football fans so it will be on and people will be watching it.
3. Do you go all out if you are celebrating holidays in your home or do you keep things low key? All out generally, nice dishes, tablecloths, etc. My daughter will do centerpiece type things. She also does a photo shoot for each family unit on holidays.
4. Do you like cranberry sauce? Homemade, most certainly.
5. Have you decorated for Christmas yet? Christmas decorations come out on Friday after Thanksgiving, family tradition the kids expect and anticipate. The BF is helping this year.
6. Are you going out shopping for Black Friday and, if so, what are the things you're looking to score? You could not pry me out of the house to deal with any of that foolishness. People are crazy!
 
1. What is your favorite part of a holiday meal? Eating it.
2. Will you be watching any football this week? No

1. What is your favorite part of a holiday meal? Mashed potatoes!
2. Will you be watching any football this week? Nope, hubby doesn't like sports. I've lost track of the teams I used to follow.
3. Do you go all out if you are celebrating holidays in your home or do you keep things low key? Both?! I feel like I go all out considering it is just me, hubby, and the kids. But in the same sense we don't go overboard with decorations and such.
4. Do you like cranberry sauce? Gag! No way!
5. Have you decorated for Christmas yet? Nope! We always do that the weekend after Thanksgiving. The girls are so excited to pick out a real tree this year!
6. Are you going out shopping for Black Friday and, if so, what are the things you're looking to score? Maybe?! I've looked at some of the ads online and they just seem sub par. Also, I'm really upset how early the stores are opening now. If I do go I'm looking for a printer.
 
1. What is your favorite part of a holiday meal?
Dessert
2. Will you be watching any football this week?
Nope, unless Bianca makes me.
3. Do you go all out if you are celebrating holidays in your home or do you keep things low key?
Usually all out, this year super low key at the neighbor's house.
4. Do you like cranberry sauce?
NOPE.
5. Have you decorated for Christmas yet?
NOPE.
6. Are you going out shopping for Black Friday and, if so, what are the things you're looking to score?
YES. Most likely skylanders. LOL!!!
 
1. What is your favorite part of a holiday meal? Maybe the leftovers. Or my grandma's cheesecake
2. Will you be watching any football this week? Nope!
3. Do you go all out if you are celebrating holidays in your home or do you keep things low key? We have a lot of people over for Thanksgiving. Small group this year - only 17! It's hard not to go all out with a big family. For us that usually means lots of food.
4. Do you like cranberry sauce? Yes. I like homemade style but my family gets mad if it doesn't have the rings from the can!
5. Have you decorated for Christmas yet? Not until after Turkey day.
6. Are you going out shopping for Black Friday and, if so, what are the things you're looking to score? Heck no. I'm not crazy. I will be checking out the digi shops and I'm hoping Amazon has another sale on Kindles.
 
1. What is your favorite part of a holiday meal? I make the best stuffing ever and I look forward to it all year. lol As do my husband and his parents, apparently.
2. Will you be watching any football this week? Nope.
3. Do you go all out if you are celebrating holidays in your home or do you keep things low key? There is very little we do in our home as it's a very small flat. We do get a tree, which is pretty "all out" for a place this small. I have to move things into storage to get that accomplished. But we do the real festivities at my in-laws' place.
4. Do you like cranberry sauce? I don't dislike it, but I don't think I'd miss it if it weren't there. I was actually going to leave it out this year but then MIL specifically asked for it. lol
5. Have you decorated for Christmas yet? I put a wreath on the door but nothing else yet.
6. Are you going out shopping for Black Friday and, if so, what are the things you're looking to score? Nope.

1. What is your favorite part of a holiday meal? The breakfast. I make a special Thanksgiving breakfast while we watch the parade. And I super love breakfast foods.
2. Will you be watching any football this week?Nope. Bores me to tears.
3. Do you go all out if you are celebrating holidays in your home or do you keep things low key?We are a crazy holiday family. Thanksgiving isa big deal but luckily we go to SIL's because my son's birthday is early December
4. Do you like cranberry sauce?Anything shaped like an aluminum can doesn't seem appealing.
5. Have you decorated for Christmas yet?Partially
6. Are you going out shopping for Black Friday and, if so, what are the things you're looking to score?We will most likely go out to lunch Friday and get into the festive spirit, but I shop online.
