"The very best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear!"

1. What is your favorite Christmas song? Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays by N'Sync!! Heck yeah, I'm serious. That or O Come, O Come, Emmanuel -- love that song!

2. What is your favorite Christmas album? Mariah Carey or The Emmanuel CD

3. What is your favorite Christmas gift you have ever received? My Grandad surprised me and put up and decorated a small Christmas tree for me when my family was at our apartment... I was so upset that we weren't doing a tree that year, but he came to the rescue! :) So thoughtful.

4. What is your favorite gift that you are giving this year? I gave Morgan Elizabeth a new Bible with her name engraved... she'd been looking for one and asked me my favorite translation (New Living)... so I surprised her w/that a bit early!

5. Favorite place/location to look at Christmas lights? The Chickasha lights is the best I've seen... but to see NYC at Christmas would be the best! I wanna ice skate under the big tree like Elf and Serendipity! :)

6. Favorite Christmas treat/candy? Just good ol' fashioned chocolate cake, nothing fancy.

7. What is your funniest Christmas memory? When he was about 7, my cousin, Blake, opened the wrapped set of batteries that went with his next gift (one of Babah's odd traditions is wrapping anything and everything, even boxes of Kleenex and tubes of chapstick). Anyway, he knew he was supposed to react... so he said with all the enthusiasm he could find (not purposely being sarcastic), "A complete set of batteries!? That's just what I've always wanted!!" It's still a running joke w/all of us. :)

8. Fresh Tree/Fake Tree? Always fake. I'm not a nature girl by any stretch, and you can do so much more w/decorating fake trees.

9. Favorite Tradition? Chickasha lights and Jake's Rib w/my family and the Wallaces... so much fun! And Rach, Holly, Megs, and I went on a carriage ride then sang Christmas songs driving around downtown - so fun... we only did it once, but we call it our "tradition."

10. Favorite Christmas Cookie? The Christmas tree shaped sugar cookies Babah makes, then Rach and I help decorate! =)

11. Favorite Place to be? My parent's house... honestly, with people I love, wherever that may fall.

12. Favorite Memory? Hmm, Bobbi's Christmas Shenanigans party last year! PJ party w/all the lifegroup girls I love... ate junk food, drank hot chocolate, and watched the Holiday... took fun pics where I showcased my angelic side. ;-) Then Natalie and I sat in her car in her apartment parking lot for 3 hours and had a great, deep conversation that I won't attempt to describe here.

13. Favorite Christmas Movie? 3 way tie: Elf, The Holiday, and You've Got Mail --LOVE them all, for very distinct reasons.
