I read Linda Ng’s This or That Writing Prompt and it was fun. When she asked me to try it out, I thought “why not?” and I quickly jumped into it.

Here we go,

🎄Christmas Eve or Christmas Day?

Of course, Christmas Day. Love to have fun inviting guests for lunch.

🎅Santa or No Santa?

Santa! My son, even though he says dad is Santa, he still expects presents under the Christmas tree.

🥰 Naughty or Nice?

Mostly known as Nice, but very naughty I believe.

🧋Eggnog or Hot Chocolate?

Mostly strong coffee, but love to enjoy a nice Hot Chocolate sometimes in cold weather.

🧥Velvet or Fur?

I like to see and feel the texture of velvet, but not in a dress. Fur! sorry for the poor animals.

🌹Red or 🕊️White?

White for pure, like my heart, mind, and my love.

🍃Peppermint or Cinnamon?

Cinnamon! I love when my husband makes an aromatic concoction of tea along with some other spices too.

☃️ Frosty or Rudolph?

I have no idea about both characters. I asked my son and even he doesn’t know. So, I’m going with Olaf, a true friend.

❔Mistletoe or Mommy Kissing Santa Claus?

Sorry guys! Neither.

👀 Real or Fake?

Of course real. It’s a big challenge if I have to fake.

🎁 Wrapped or Bagged?

I love wrapped. Love to make it four or five layers and enjoy building curiosity around when I surprise someone. Thinking about other innovative, sustainable ideas.

Dreaming about celebrating Christmas where there is snow or under New York Christmas tree.

My son says Prancer.

Wood-Burning! Campfire, and a fireplace in the living room.

🌳 Jungle! 🌳🐞🐝🐅🐆🦅🪺🦉The life of Mowgli!

🦃 Turkey or Roast Beast?

Neither. Maybe will try turkey if I get a chance.

🧝Elf or The Grinch?

The Grinch because I like Jim Carrey.

🍪 Cookies or Fudge?

Cookies! Nice and crunchy.

Wow! That was fun!

Hardly 10 minutes to finish the challenge but a bit of time to get all that emojis!🥰
