1. Are your holiday decorations up?
Yes - tree was naked for 2 days with various go to this go to that stuff but we got ornaments on by Monday & DH bought new lights for tree today b/cos we forgot there were lots of busted ones last year and we threw them out, so i threw the new ones on and now a 747 could land by the light of our tree
:idea2 (how is there no emoji with sunglasses??)
2. What's your favorite decoration?
Any of the Disney ones :) DD tried to hide them all at the back of the tree this year though :(
3. Do you have to work through the holiday?
SAHM so one could say yes and no... but DH gets a few days off & i just booked us all tickets to see a show on the afternoon of the 23rd when he's finished - FriYay!
4. What's your favorite holiday food?
Christmas Pudding with custard - it's an English heritage thing i think but DH's fam doesnt have it and the other year my fam decided not to get one and so i had to go buy one after the fact (they're heaps cheaper after Xmas!)
5. Who makes your favorite holiday food?
it's a Big Sister pudding usually but i bought the after the fact one from last year made by the supermarket chain Woolworths here and it had this edible glitter dust (it was more beautiful than tasty honestly, so going back to Big Sister this year!)

2. What's your favorite decoration? I love a white mini tree I got this year. It's flocked and so pretty!

3. Do you have to work through the holiday? Well, yes. I'm a homemaker, so all the household chores don't stop. I'm hoping to get all my main chores done so there will only be laundry and dishes to upkeep. I am also hoping to get everything done for my design work as well. Poor hubby is on weekend duty this year, so he will be on call as well as out at the plan for the holiday. We'll work around that, though, so he can enjoy the holiday, too.

4. What's your favorite holiday food? Coconut oatmeal cookies.

5. Who makes your favorite holiday food? My Mama. Well, we all get together and make them, but most of the time, it's my Mama who makes the early batches and then extra batches for New Years.

For the most part. I stopped decorating as soon as my family stopped helping me... :disagree

A Dala Horse ornament that belonged to my Grandfather.

3. Do you have to work through the holiday?
Nope, only if I want to.

4. What's your favorite holiday food?
Although I can't eat it anymore, it's a Swedish dish - potatis korv. Potato sausage. 2 parts ground beef, 1 part ground pork, 1/2 part ground veal, potatoes, onions, spices. Yum. We haven't made it since I've had to go off all meats, so I make a fish dish for me and Swedish meatballs for the rest of the family. Much less work.

I do believe I'll need to find a new favorite food.

5. Who makes your favorite holiday food?
All of us. It's a family affair!
