Tag! You're It! (Christmas Style)

For those of you Bath and Body Works fantatics, you all know Cia Arielle Malone, owner of Cia's Pink Pumpkin and See It, Love It, Buy It blogs!!  All the latest with everything Bath and Body Works, wedding (A bride-to-be), and awesome!

So she tagged me in this very cool Christmas tag!! And I'm going to tag my favorite bloggers to do this very same tag!! So be prepared!! lol

1) What do you love most about Christmas Time?
       
         A) This is going to sound funny, but I love all the crazy Christmas themed food products they come out with during the holidays.  I am still searching for Pecan Pie Pringles and Lays Hershey Chips.  Those are ones that stuck out to me and I think they'd be fun!! I still have yet to try many, but I get a few each year!! The Peppermint frosting by Pillsbury looks delicious, Candy Cane Chex Mix, and of course, you cannot forget all of the Starbucks Holiday Creation Drinks that they have each year around this time!

2) Do you celebrate the holiday in style or is it "bah humbug" for you?
         
         A) To be honest, I would like to decorate more than I do.  I live in a small apartment and decorate very sparsely.  I feel like once I move into a house, that I would decorate more since I would have more space to put everything.  For now, I decorate with my tree, my stockings, and the few Christmas warmers I have!

3) Are you leaving out anything for Santa Claus this year so he remembers to leave you presents?
       
         A) Hahaha no, he'll have to fight me for the cookies.  But in all realness, I had done some research on Santa Claus a few years ago and had found out that originally in a poor part of, I want to say Switzerland or Poland, that a man went around in red and left the children of the village fruit and small toys in socks.  That way they'd have something to look forward to and open on Christmas morning.  And that was how the Santa Claus legend began.  Of course, it got bigger and bigger as the years went on, but that's how I like to remember Santa Claus.  And that I believe in the magic of Christmas.  So no, Santa Claus is not getting my cookies.

4) What is the one gift that you are looking forward to GIVING?  (It can be your kids, another family member, etc, just remember to be discrete if they are reading this blog)

         A) I am looking forward to giving Barry the rest of his Japan items!! He's the only one I buy presents for, so I'm letting him pick out the rest of what he gets for Christmas!

5) What is your all-time favorite Christmas movie?

         A) My all-time favorite Christmas movie.... that is a hard question.  I would have to say the first Home Alone or Miracle on 34th Street.  How can you beat a beautiful house full of Christmas decorations swelling with Christmas music with the promise of being together for Christmas?  Or believing in Santa Claus, and really believing what Santa Claus stands for: the magic of Christmas.  Both beautifully-done movies!!

6) What is your all-time favorite Christmas song?

         A) My all-time favorite Christmas song is, hands-down, Merry Christmas Darling.  Karen Carpenter has the most beautiful voice ever!  Plus this is not one of your average, over-heard Christmas songs.  And it's a classic!!  Some others I enjoy (no laughing, these are a bit more modern) Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays by N'Sync and The Gift by 98 Degrees.  *sigh* #dreamsofaboybandfan

7) If given the opportunity to participate in an Ugly Sweater Party, which sweater would you choose?  Peruse one on the internet or even pick one out from your closet and show us!

         A) Lol I won't lie, if I went to an Ugly Sweater Christmas Party, I'd have to get the most atrocious looking sweater I could get my hands on.  Something like this --> Ugly Sweater

8) Have you started any Christmas traditions this year that you plan on carrying forward?

         A) Ehh... not this year.  Well sort of.  This year is the first year that both Barry and I are off for Christmas Day!! So I hope that THAT tradition will carry on! And wearing red or plaid pajamas on Christmas Eve!

9) It's Christmas Morning... What does it look like outside?

         A) One year, the first year we were in our apartment, it actually snowed Christmas Day!!  That's a first for Georgia and probably a last.  It usually looks snowless and most of the time, no one is outside!!

10) You just found yourself standing under some mistletoe.... who comes up to give you a kiss?

         A) Well... there is that cute guy down the hall.....

                               No no no no no just kidding!! Haha!  My lips are for my one and only! <3
