Christmas Tag

1. Do you like Hot Chocolate or Egg Nog? I enjoy both but I think I like Egg Nog more...too bad I have a milk allergy...but Lactaid makes a very yummy egg nog that is not too bad on my tummy.
2. Does Santa wrap presents or just put them under the tree? Well, since I have never believed in Santa...I do the wrapping...though I just realized for the second time that my husband LOVES wrapping gifts and I should take advantage of that desire of his.
3. Colored or white lights on tree/house? I prefer colored lights but love lights in general (tree).
