Some of them; the lights are up but we haven't put ornaments on the tree yet.
- When do you start listening to Xmas carols and setting up?
The day after Thanksgiving.

The day after Thanksgiving (It's a family tradition!) :)

We go to the candle light service at my church (which is tonight!) and listen to Christmas songs.
- Do you have any advent calendars?
Yes, five!
- What do your dolls do to celebrate?
They like to stand in holiday scenes, and ussually the drama club does something (*hint, hint* ;)

Priya's Holiday Foodie Tag!!

Hey guys! I just realized Priya tagged me a couple of days ago! The tag looked really fun, so here goes!

1. What’s your favorite holiday food?
Hmmmm, I'm going to have to go with my Grandma's sugar cookies. There're really yummy and we decorate them with colored sugar or cinnamon sugar (depending on what color we want) My mom and I made some last weekend and we finished them already! She said maybe we can make some next weekend. :)

2. Eggnog or hot cocoa?
Hot cocoa, especially Ghirrideli (forgive the terrible spelling). There's nothing like playing outside in the snow and then coming in to a warm cup of hot chocolate. :)

3. Have you ever eaten a non-dessert dish shaped as a holiday symbol (Christmas tree, menorah, etc.)?
Yes! I ate Christmas tree and Snowman shaped bagels once. They were really yummy! :)

4. Do you know what a latke is? If so, have you ever eaten one?
I do know what a latke is, but I always pronounce it wrong and then my Jewish friends laugh at me, lol :). I have eaten many latkes and they are very yummy!

5. What is the first food-and-holiday-related word that comes to your mind?
Milk and cookies :)

6. What is your favorite holiday food to cook with your family/friends?
My Grandma's sugar cookies. They're the kind you use cookie cutters for, and I love, love, LOVE cutting them out. :) I may be a teenager but I'm a four-year-old at heart :)

I tag Emma S., Emma Wright, Hannah Wright, and anybody who got hungry while reading this!

ONLY 14 DAYS UNTIL CHRISTMAS!!! :D :D :D (Like I said, 4-year-old at heart)

Bye! Thanks for reading!

If you straightened the avatar's hair she'd look a lot like me.

I don't have an InnerstarU account, so I can't really answer that.

Historical Characters. Each of their stories is so inspiring, and I like learning about the different time periods.

I like AG because their merchandise is such good quality, espcially compared to most other 18" doll companies.

18. If you could live in any other time period but your own, what would choose?
