4. Do you hang mistletoe? Don't need to. Can always get a kiss from my hubby!!

5. When do you put your decorations up? If we do, it's when I can find a free day to do it in our busy holiday schedule. Most years we don't have much time due to our church Christmas production.

6. What is your favorite holiday dish (excluding dessert)? STUFFING!!! And sorry, I must add the dessert because no holiday is complete without Pumpkin Pie!!

For me, I think Santa was just the spirit of Christmas. Jesus being the reason for Christmas has always been a part of my Christmas'.
