1. Egg nog or hot chocolate?
do i have to choose? egg nog is only a christmas drink while i drink hot chocolate all the time... so, hot chocolate?2. Does Santa wrap presents or just sit them under the tree?
when we were kids, santa would put some things wrapped and some things unwrapped. 3. Colored lights on tree/house or white?
i would probably have multi-colored lights on the house and tree but a single color on the house can look quite nice. i remember liking the houses with just blue bulbs.4. Do you hang mistletoe?
nope. but then again, i don't hang garland or wreaths either. i haven't seen any mistletoe this year... odd.5. When do you put your decorations up?

i think it had to have been sometime during grade school. kids always talk.9. Do you open a gift on Christmas Eve?
