The Christmas Tag


   Anna Catherine's friend Lisa tagged us in The Christmas Tag!   How fun!   Here are Anna Catherine's answers to Lisa's questions.

What is your favorite Christmas treat?
I'd have to say hot chocolate.   The more marshmallows, the better!

Are there any special traditions that your family has to celebrate Christmas?

We always make chocolate covered pretzel rods for our friends.   We decorate them with pretty Christmas sprinkles.

How do you normally celebrate Christmas?

The normal way, I guess?   We have a tree and stockings and we all sit around it and open presents.   (Though we do go to my grandparents' every Christmas Eve and when we get back before we go to sleep we read the Christmas story from the Bible and maybe open one present.)
Do you enjoy getting presents for your friends and family? Do you buy your gifts or go the homemade route?
I love to find presents, but sometimes it's super hard because I just don't know what they'd really like!   As for store bought vs. homemade, it depends on if I have any money or not.   ☺

Is it cold where you live? Have you ever had a white Christmas?

It's semi cold where I live, I guess...and I've never seen snow, ever.

What’s on your Christmas list this year?

A new iPad case and a CD player.   My current iPad case is broken and my current CD player is being strange on me.
What’s your favorite Christmas song?
I think that instrumental Christmas music is my favorite.   There's a version of "Sleigh Ride" that comes on the radio which is all orchestra and has whip sounds and a trumpet that goes "neigh!" like a horse which is really cool.   I also am obsessed with the Nutcracker soundtrack.

What is your favourite Christmas memory?

Probably the Christmas when I was five.   I got my American Girl Kirsten then, and a LOT of fun books and movies.   Also, my grandparents gave me a stuffed bunny in a box with a bunch of holes punched in it, so I thought it was something alive.   ☺

What does your Christmas Tree look like?

(i dont feel like getting up and taking a picture of the big tree but the dolls' tree looks like this:)


What are you reading in December? (Anything festive?)

I'll probably read Monster again next week, because of this short that was just written.   (note: don't read the short until you've read the book!)

Are you an organised little elf or are you still shopping/preparing on Christmas Eve?

Um...I dunno...

How early do you start to get into the Christmas spirit?

Black Friday.

Do you make any Christmas crafts? Decorations? Send physical Christmas cards?

It depends on the year.   ☺

What’s the menu for Christmas Day?!

It varies, but we usually have crab legs on Christmas Eve at my grandparents'.

What makes it FEEL like Christmas for you? (Weather, specific tradition, food, smell, person, etc.?)

My Michael W. Smith Christmas CD.   I think it's called It's A Wonderful Christmas.

Do you have relatives coming? Excited? Nervous?

No, no relatives besides my immediate family.   ☺

What famous Christmas character do you most identify with? (Scrooge, Elf, Tiny Tim, the Grinch, Santa, etc.)

ELF.   Always Elf!

If you were to start a new Christmas tradition, what would it be?

I'd probably eat pizza every Christmas, honestly.   ☺
