White holiday lights - no blinking
Don't like fudge too sweet or too smooth - nuts are OK, but not required
Agree with you about fruitcakes and steroids
Irish coffee much preferable
Merry Christmas and Happy New Years to all - thanks for all your good advice and help this year.
HEY!!!! I LOVE FRUITCAKE!!!!!!!!! Especially from the Gethsemani Trappist Monks in Kentucky that is made with Kentucky bourbon. My very dear friend, my former advisor from college, to tell you the truth, sends me one every year. Ohmigod, it is scrumptious! I hide it from my family...it's MINE!
I eat the whole thing. And then want MORE!!!!!
Catapult your fruitcakes my way, please!
Oh, colored lights--SOLID colored lights, not multi-colored.
Not crazy about fudge, but love CHOCOLATE.
LOVE FRUITCAKE (see above)
Hot chocolate with BAILEYS or Kahlua!!!! MMMMMmmmmmmmm!!!!!!

We love all lights-don't care if blinking or not. Our tree is a hodge podge of ornaments given to us by my past students and one's from my own children. It isn't anything fancy but full of memories.
Our neighbor wins prizes every year for his outside display. We love it. My kids compare every house to "Charlie's" and of course nothing is ever as good as his. He has colored, white, blinking, Santa, 50ft light trees, reindeer, even giant falling snowflakes.
Fruitcake-never
fudge-not big chocolate eater so it doesn't matter to me. One bite is enough
And hot chocolate-when I drink it it need whip and a shot (or two) of Bailey's and peppermint. MMMM
Merry Christmas all. Find yourselves safe and happy.

Playbaseball,
Are you sure that we weren't separated at birth - you, of course, being younger, cuter, smarter, and red headed?
We used to get fruitcakes "from the monks" when I was little, but didn't remember which monks and I could never find another fruitcake that tasted as good. I'm sure that this is it and I just ordered one.
Once again, you have returned a piece of my lost childhood history. THANK YOU

P&CMom, Oh please....the only accurate description that you mentioned is the hair and YOU KNOW IT!!!!! I can't even laugh out loud about that, either!
I hope that it is the same kind that you remember, but you'll have to go on your memory because I'm not sharing mine with you!
=(So there! Ha!

No, the memory is the first to go, after the knees. Wouldn't ask you to share yours with me (knees or memory), nor would I impose mine on you.
You do have the ability to trigger my memories of things that I haven't thought of in, well, ages. All of them nice and all of them welcome - so, I say again -THANKS

I would share my knees with you, just not the fruitcake!
