Questions for November 27th: (Thanks to Adrienne and Tyler for their question suggestions!!)

1. Do you do a real or fake Christmas tree?

We always do a real tree. We always go the Saturday after Thanksgiving and get the tree. Then we blast Christmas music while we put up the decorations and have Hot Chocolate. It's a ton of fun and the kids love it. We also get each one a new Christmas ornament and write their name and year on it so they will have their own Christmas ornaments when they get older.

 
2. What is your favorite Christmas tradition with your family?

I think getting everything ready. We read the Christmas story on Christmas Eve also. We also must watch all of the Santa Clause movies sometime during the month. I think those three movies are hysterical.

3. Do you celebrate Thanksgiving in your neck of the woods? And, if so...how many calories do you think you consumed yesterday?
Way to many calories. I purposely did a protein day the day before to lose some weight in order to gorge myself last night! Turns out I didn't need to. Even after eating two pieces of pie and two helpings of stuffing I didn't gain anything today! Yippee for me!
4. Have you started decorating for Christmas, yet?
Nope we'll do that tomorrow.

5. What is your favorite Christmas cookie?
 I don't think I have one. I'm not big on candy and sweets. I do love peanut brittle and almond roca and those are two things I make every year.
