Last week, Bri had a This or That post and I thought it was cute. I had fun reading her answers and wanted to answer them myself. Thanks for the inspiration Bri!!!
1. Home Alone or A Christmas Story?
This is a very hard one. I LOVE both movies and we have watched them at least 5 times this holiday season. BUT I think I have watched A Christmas Story more and I have a tradition to watch it Christmas Eve night and then all day Christmas Day.
Plus I bought this cute shirt as I love the movie so much.
2. Hot coffee or hot cocoa?
Easy...hot coffee. I LOVE coffee and drink at least one cup a day. Usually more. And hello, my blog is called Sparkles and LATTES.
3. Gift giving or gift receiving?
I love giving gifts. Growing up you love receiving them, but as you get older, it is so much fun to see the look on other people's faces when they open up something that you hand picked for them.
4. Holiday pies or holiday cookies?
Another tough one. I love pies, but I think I love cookies more. I have been baking sugar cookies a lot since November and we will be baking them again on Christmas Eve!
5. Grinch or Elf?
I again like them both, but I would probably choose Elf over Grinch unless I get to watch the super old school cartoon Grinch.
6. Real tree or fake tree?
Real tree all the way. Growing up, we had a fake tree for awhile, but then we started cutting ours down each year. This is the first year that I have had a real tree and a fake tree.
Here is our Christmas tree this year.
7. Ugly Christmas sweater or Christmas PJs?
I have both, but I love a good ugly Christmas sweater. I have a Griswold Christmas sweater that is my absolute favorite and I wear it yearly.
I do miss having a real tree! We got a main artificial tree after the boys went to college. I hope you have a festive week sweetheart.
ReplyDeleteIt is fun having both this year. But the real trees smell sooo good! I hope you have a great week too!
DeleteI love Home Alone. I don't think I ever saw A Christmas Story.
ReplyDeleteOh it is the best. It came out in the early 80s. Love Home Alone too!
DeleteThat Griswold ugly sweater is the best! I'm adding that to my wish list for next year!
ReplyDeleteIt is a good one since it lights up! I love it!
DeleteI loved this post!! See I don’t normally wear an ugly Christmas sweater, so pj’s are normally my go to! Have a wonderful day!
ReplyDeleteI love Christmas pjs. I have a few sweaters that we normally get to wear on Christmas eve at a party and then to work, but things are so different this year. Have a wonderful day too!
DeleteThe old school version of The Grinch is my favorite too! We always prefer real trees too, but this year we went fake. I miss the experience, but loved that it was less of a hassle. I'm thinking we'll get a smaller real tree for the experience and tradition to put in another room next year <3

It is less of a hassle due to the sap, clean up and they are not perfect trees. But I do love them!!! That is why I now have two trees in my house. The best of both worlds.
DeleteThis Christmas sweater looks so cute!
ReplyDeleteIt is such a fun sweater!
DeleteI love the old school grinch too! I always get a real tree, despite my allergies. Hope y'all have a wonderful christmas!
ReplyDeleteI didn't know you were allergic to real trees. They are so fun to have. I have been watching all the Christmas movies...especially the Grinch! Have a wonderful Christmas too!!!
DeleteOh, I just loved this when Bri did it and I am equally loving seeing all your answers! You know I have NEVER owned a Christmas sweater.. I almost thought about buying one this year.
ReplyDeleteYou should totally get one for next year. Especially if you can get it on sale. I love reading others answers to these too!
DeleteI am so excited to see Sophia open her gifts this year - she totally gets it now!
ReplyDeleteIt is fun once they really get it. I love seeing the joy on the girls face!
DeleteHome Alone for me.. I've never actually seen the Christmas Story.
ReplyDeleteI am seeing this as a trend. I love the movie and have watched both a ton this year already!
DeleteHome Alone is definitely my favorite. I never watched A Christmas Story until Chris and I were together. He has a tradition of watching it Christmas Eve and all Christmas day like you...so that is what we do now. I prefer Home Alone over it but we do watch both every year. Love old school Grinch too. I also like the Jim Carey version. I hate the new one they released last year.
ReplyDeleteI see that it is pretty common to have not seen A Christmas Story. I just grew up watching it in school and love it. I do like the Jim Carey one too, but my girls LOVE the new one. I think it is ok.
DeleteThat sweater is awesome! Give me anything Griswolds!!!!
ReplyDeleteI say give me a mix - coffee WITH hot chocolate... YUMMM
Me too. I LOVE that movie soo much. Oh I love coffee with hot chocolate. I used to drink it that way all the time.
DeleteAwe, yay! Love that you did this!! And loved reading your answers! That Christmas sweater is amazing, LOL!
ReplyDeleteI love the Christmas sweater sooo much. Definitely wearing it tomorrow!!!
