It\u2019s Friday! The Friday before Christmas! CHRISTMAS<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

I\u2019m mentally checked out because holiday joy has taken over me, much like it always has when Christmas gets near and family comes together.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m bottom left in case you couldn\u2019t guess \"Winking<\/em><\/p>\n

So, let\u2019s have some fun\u2026 (thanks Julie<\/a> for the questions!)<\/p>\n

Favorite Holiday Cookie<\/strong><\/p>\n

My mom\u2019s cream cheese thumbprints, followed now by these butter pecan cookies<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Favorite Holiday Song<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tough one! If I had to choose, maybe Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas<\/em>. That or J. Beib\u2019s Under the Mistletoe<\/a>. Shawdy with you\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n

Favorite Holiday Movie<\/strong><\/p>\n

Love, Actually.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Tree- real or fake?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019m a diehard REAL tree lover.<\/p>\n

\"2007<\/a><\/p>\n

2007 Christmas in my tiny apartment, still with a real tree. And a tiny Koda!<\/em><\/p>\n

Favorite Holiday Tradition<\/strong><\/p>\n

I don\u2019t know if there is a specific tradition that means a lot to me, but more so the feeling. You say Christmas and I can immediately close my eyes and feel warm and fuzzies. Christmas music playing, people laughing, sipping wine, playing cards, eating great food, fire burning\u2026 perfection. Add in a giggling toddler and I\u2019m sure things will only be sweeter this year!<\/p>\n

Favorite Holiday Meal<\/strong><\/p>\n

Whatever my mom makes! Traditionally we have tenderloin every Christmas Eve and it\u2019s always delicious.<\/p>\n

Favorite Way to Open Presents<\/strong><\/p>\n

Well, this might be changing soon. We always opened all family presents Christmas eve, then Santa would come Christmas morning. David feels strongly about all presents on Christmas day. I see us having to decide on our tradition soon! Right now though, I love the White Elephant game our family plays Christmas Eve- always so much fun!<\/p>\n
