1. Do you open presents on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day?
When I was growing up, we always opened up gifts on Christmas Day. With Angelica, though, we usually have 2-3 days of gift opening. About six years ago, I started a tradition of having a huge Christmas Eve meal with all of the family who wants to get together and we open gifts on that day. It works out well now that my sister and I both have kids so that we don't have to travel all around the city on Christmas Day!
2. What is your favorite Christmas cookie (or candy)?
Alton Brown's sugar cookie recipe. I make these every year and dear lord they are amazing.
3. What's the worst Christmas gift you've ever received?
I don't honestly think I've ever gotten a "bad" gift. Aren't all gifts good? Even if it's not something you want or can use, you at least know that person thought of you and cared enough to get you a gift.
4. Christmas song that you love?
I've always loved The Little Drummer Boy. I know it's a very "Christian" song (as most Christmas songs are!) but I just think it's a beautiful song.
Angelica's also obsessed with Frosty the Snowman lately and I think it's adorable to hear her sing it...though if I actually have to watch Frosty again I might claw my eyes out.
5. How many trees do you put up?
Hahaha, in our tiny little house? Just one. It's fake and it's covered in plastic ornaments (with cats and kids, nothing else would survive) but I think it's beautiful. I should take a picture and post it!

Thank you for that sugar cookie link! I must try it now. =)
How in the world does Scott get the rest of the year off? Tell him I am extremely jealous right now. Also please tell him that if he gets bored, I have plenty of projects available at my house. ;-)
Oh, and the bad gift thing? Thanks a lot for making me feel like a jerk! :-P
Haha, if I recall right, you didn't actually name a bad gift! :) And seriously, I am so jealous of Scott being home right now too!
