Laurie Ann of Magnolia’s Heart Beats, had this posted on her site and I wanted to pass this on and share with you!
1. Egg Nog or Hot Chocolate?
Both; I make my hot chocolate from scratch (yes I have to do it the hard way,lol). The recipe I use is:
- 2 ounces (2 squares) unsweetened chocolate
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 4 cups milk
- pinch salt
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Preparation:
Place chocolate, sugar, milk, and salt in a 2-quart saucepan over
medium-low heat. Heat, stirring, until chocolate melts and mixture is
well blended.
Add vanilla; pour hot chocolate into cups.
Hot chocolate recipe serves 4.
2. Does Santa wrap presents or just sit them under the tree?
It varies; We have a “family Christmas” on Christmas Eve where we exchange gifts and then come Christmas morning, we make hot chocolate (the quick way,lol) and then we open up the presents that Santa wrapped and we manage to unwrap under 10 seconds.
3. Colored light on house/tree or white?
We varied for outside,depending on mood, but we always do colored christmas lights on the tree.
