‘Tis the Season

Christmas Q&A

‘This or That’ Christmas-Themed Questions:

1. Stay home or at a Christmas destination on Christmas Day?

I’ve gone through several phases in my life. Growing up we’d order Chinese food and stay in. It wasn’t as depressing as it sounds, I promise. We watched Christmas movies all day. I have a strong sense of nostalgia associated with Chinese food now.

In my late teens and twenties, I went to my grandparents’ house. There was always a ridiculous amount of presents. And the entire side of my dad’s family would be there.

This year I’m aiming for my In-laws home. I am meditating everyday and sending good vibes into the universe hoping that I am able to leave the apartment.

2. Snow or sunny weather on Christmas Day?

100% snow. I adore snow, I don’t even mind driving in it. Although I did have a scare a few years back where I ended up pulling donuts on some black ice.

But snow on Christmas day is the best thing ever. It’s just beautiful.

3. Artificial or real Christmas tree?

I’d never had an artificial tree until I got married. As a young child we always had real trees. My father would go into the woods, I’m sure illegally, and chop down a tree with his axe.

It wasn’t my job to clean up the mess or keep it watered, so I loved it. But nowadays I’m appreciating the cleanliness of artificial trees, and we have a gorgeous pre-lit one this year.

4. Give or receive gifts on Christmas Day?

Definitely giving! I love seeing the joy on people’s faces when they receive something unexpected. It is something I look forward to all year. My husband works really hard at a job that he is great at but doesn’t enjoy. And he deserves the best.

5. Put up or take down the Christmas tree?

I love decorating the tree. But assembly and disassembly are my husbands’ job, thank God.

Thank you for reading my Q&A. I’d love to hear your responses.
