1. Eggnog or hot rum? Both rank around 12 out of 10 in the yuk meter

2. Gingerbread or sugar cookie?

3. Turkey or Goose/Duck? Only because my exposure to duck has been very limited and my exposure to goose non-existant

4. Fake tree or real tree (cut or living)? Cats & trees don't mix

5. Hannukah: 8 days of presents or one day only? Interesting family backstory here...

6. Menorahs - modern/avant-garde or traditional? My maternal grandmother was Jewish -- technically making me Jewish -- but she changed into something unique to her. I honor my heritage with a Menorah display.

7. Kugel or gifilte fish? Not that much honoring.

8. Stockings or no stockings? See #4

9. Outside lights: minimal or GRISWALD? Does none count as minimal?

10. Movies: It's a Wonderful Life or Christmas Vacation?

11. Scrooge or Frosty?

12. Carolling or horse drawn sleighride?

13. Christmas on the beach, or Christmas in the snow? We get both here in SoCal

14. Latkes: potato or apple?

15: Day after: "thank goodness it's over" or "awwww, it's over" ?

Let 'er rip... Don't say this with middle schoolers.
