I hope so! We never did get the outside icicles up. How come we get them up the years we leave for 3 weeks but when we’re actually here to enjoy them we don’t quite manage? Oh well!

13. Do you still leave the cookies and milk, just for the fun of it?
For the fun of it…and because Santa does need a snack!

12. Ever watched The Christmas Story?
Yes. It’s a good one.

11. Have you ever been sledding?
When we lived in Kansas we would make some good sled runs down into the creek. Where else do you sled in western Kansas? Being pulled behind a pickup on an old truck roof was fun, too. More speed!

10. Do you get more money, or clothes for Christmas?
I don’t know if I’ve ever really gotten money for Christmas. Just from Grandparents when I was younger. But I haven’t really gotten clothes for Christmas since I was younger either…hmmmm. That’s a toss-up!

Of course! But I really don't enjoy them.

5-one for each of us. Stockings are my favorite part of Christmas.

Our family, parents, and the family we draw for in Tory’s family.

Clam chowder & carrot pudding on Christmas Eve, cinnamon and orange rolls Christmas morning, and a turkey or ham dinner Christmas evening. But since we’re doing our own thing this year we might change it up a bit!
