Favorite Holiday Drink: Hot Dark Mint Chocolate with a splash of
Baileys Irish Crème. Yum!
Favorite Holiday Movie: I have to say I love both Elf and A
Christmas Story for two similar reasons. The writing is so clever that the
jokes never get old. Who wouldn’t love Will Ferrell as the world’s largest elf,
right? And watching Ralphie have to walk down those stairs in that bunny suit,
and the leg lamp, and the, ‘you’ll shoot your eye out, kid.’ Guess what I’ll be
watching tonight.
Why I Love the
Holidays: This time of year
will always hold a special place in my heart. Seven years ago, on Christmas
Eve, I flew to Scotland to meet my husband in person for the very first time.
After over a year of talking on the phone, skype chats, and online gaming, (we
met playing Star Wars Galaxies online) we would finally be in the same country,
in fact, the same room! To walk off that plane and into the arms of the love of
my life will be a moment I’ll remember for the rest of my life. Seven years
later, we both equate the Holidays with love and joy.
Favorite Holiday
Tradition: My husband and have
a tradition of buying each other one Star Wars gift each year in memory of how
we met. We also use our game avatar names on the tags. It’s as if our
characters, the first way in which we fell in love, are giving each other
gifts.
Worst Holiday Treat: I can’t stand eggnog. Yuk!!!

What a wonderful story on how you met your husband. =) Your favorite drink sounds delicious and rich, and I agree with you on the eggnog. Every now and then I try it thinking maybe I'll change my mind. I haven't.
