Christmas Questions & Answers

Today I'm linking up here to answer some Christmas questions. It seems pretty fun so let's get started!

What's your favorite holiday movie?
That's hard because I love so many Christmas movies. I could never narrow down to just one. Of course I love all of the Home Alone movies. I also really like Fred Clause, The Family Stone, Christmas with the Kranks, The Holiday and Miracle on 34th Street.
Do you have any special traditions?
I used to have traditions but now that I'm married it's messed up traditions a little bit! I've been trying to brainstorm all week on how I can make Christmas seem special this year since it's at my house. Any fun family traditions that you enjoy and would like to share with me would be greatly appreciated!!
What's your favorite ornament or decoration?
My favorite Christmas decoration is my Department 56 Snow Village houses. I love collecting them and setting them up every year. Since I didn't get to put them up this year (so sad) I've really enjoyed this new little decoration---but not as much as Ivy and Madison. They LOVE it.

What's the best gift you've ever received? 
This should be pretty obvious but my best Christmas gift I ever got/will ever get is my precious little Holly.
What's the worst gift you've ever received?
I, like most people I'm sure, have gotten things before and I've thought "really? You saw that and I came to mind?" but nothing majorly bazaar.
What's your favorite winter accessory?
I love wearing ski hats! My favorite is a Northface one that I bought in Crested Butte. It's so soft on the inside and stays on my head really well. You know what I mean, right? Sometimes you're always having to mess with them but this one is perfect!
Real tree or fake?
Sadly, fake. I would love to have a real tree but it seems like a lot of trouble to have one so I've never done it.
When and how did you find out that Santa was not real?
I was searching for something in my Mom's purse and found two teeth that I'd just lost in a zip lock baggie. It was like suddenly it all made sense and my world just came crashing down. Tooth Fairy, Santa and Easter Bunny were all lies? It was a tough day. I still remember it very vividly in my mind.
