5 Question Friday

 This is the first time I have participated in “5 Question Friday” with Mama M at “My Little Life.” But seeing as how I am currently at a loss for things to blog about [Could it be all of the turkey making me sleepy? Or the black Friday shopping frenzy?], I decided today to join in on the fun. Head over to Mama M’s blog and play along….

1. Do you do a real or fake Christmas tree? Well, I prefer a real tree. BUT since I have a little toddler all over the place who insists on putting everything in his mouth, we are going with a fake Christmas tree this year.

2. What is your favorite Christmas tradition with your family? We usually go shopping on Christmas Eve. Just for the sake of saying that we did it, I guess. And we watch “Christmas Vacation” before heading to bed. I’m not really sure what traditions we will start this year with Noah. This will be his first real Christmas that he can actually enjoy some. And we are spending Christmas here in Florida, just us. So we will see.

3. Do you celebrate Thanksgiving in your neck of the woods? And, if so…how many calories do you think you consumed yesterday? Oh yes. Thanksgiving is 2nd to Christmas as far as calorie consumption goes. I honestly don’t think I ate that much yesterday. Surprisingly enough, I maintained some self control.

4. Have you started decorating for Christmas, yet? Not yet. I will on Monday, though. We are getting our tree on Monday. So then it will be time to pull out the decorations and the Christmas dishes and make the house look like Santa’s workshop. I think I am going to make hubby put lights up over the garage this year. 🙂

5. What is your favorite Christmas cookie? Hmmm….that’s a tough one. I guess for Christmas my favorite cookie would be gingerbread or sugar cookies with the Green & Red sprinkles. I have never made Gingerbread men {or a Gingerbread house for that matter} but I think that’s one of the new “traditions” I am going to incorporate into things this year.
