Christmas Questions…
I snagged this from Swistle. And I think it looks fun.
Eggnog or hot chocolate? Eggnog. I actually don’t care much for hot chocolate.
Does Santa wrap the presents or leave them open under the tree? Santa doesn’t wrap presents. Daddy and Mommy do. That helps the kids tell the difference. And Santa only brings three presents, as do Mommy and Daddy. Because the Three Wise Men each brought a gift to baby Jesus. And since baby Jesus got three presents, that’s the number of presents that anyone can give to someone else. It also keeps me from going out of control. Because I L.O.V.E. to buy gifts for people. It’s brings me tremendous joy.
