Song? Hope is Born Again (Point of Grace)
Movie? Prancer takes the cake. But closely following it are Home Alone and It’s a Wonderful Life. And for some reason, I associate The Sound of Music with Christmas, so although it’s not technically a Christmas movie, it still makes the list. 
Book? Would you believe I just started reading A Christmas Carol for the first time two nights ago? Determined to finish it by Christmas. But I also love The House Without a Christmas Tree and The Best Christmas Pageant Ever, two books I read over and over as a child.
Drink? I hate eggnog…just throwin’ that out there now. 😉 Apple cider and coffee with holiday creamers.
Food? I don’t know that I have one favorite. Love the cookies. Love ham and all the yummy things that go with it.
Childhood Memory? Probably when I was nine years old. I had asked for a scooter, and when I came downstairs (at around 5 a.m. I’m sure!) it was under the tree. But it was so cold and snowy that I rode that scooter around the basement until March.
Most Unique? We spent Christmas of ’06 in Thailand with our friends, Becky and Andy. On Christmas morning, we exchanged stockings, ate breakfast, and then went to the Grand Palace in Bangkok. That night we went out for an incredible Italian dinner and finished the day with a little shopping in the market. Definitely a Christmas to remember!
Tradition? Now that we have Mae, I love the little things we are doing to give her traditions and memories…like our Advent calendar (which we always forget to do!), buying her an ornament each year that represents something significant from her life that year. As she gets older, it will be fun to do things like gingerbread houses and decorating cookies.
Giving or Receiving? Giving.
Tree…Real or Fake? Fake, out of necessity. I need to be able to breathe. 😉
White Christmas? Yes to the movie. The snow, I can go either way…so it’s win-win.
Lights? Yes again, but only white. Not a fan of multicolored.
Memorable Gift? I went a year and a half in Indonesia without my wedding ring. (Long story.) One Christmas Tobin picked out a white gold ring for me with three little diamonds. I loved it, and I love that he picked it out himself.
Wish List? It’s more fun to wish for Mae. But call me a dork…I asked for leg warmers. Really. If they are in my stocking on Christmas morning, I’ll be a happy girl.
Perfect Day? One spent surrounded by my family and/or friends and filled with laughter and love.
