Not sure exactly how this fits in with the theme of "Growing Vertical", but my wife requested it so I'm glad to oblige. Here are my responses to the 20 questions:

1. Egg Nog or Hot Chocolate? Egg Nog, specifically Silk Egg Nog as I cannot have milk.
2. Does Santa wrap presents or just sit them under the tree? That's ridiculous. Everyone knows that the Elves wrap the presents. Santa just sits them under the tree.
3. Colored lights on tree/house or white? I personally like the white lights, but I enjoy seeing the colored lights, too.
4. Do you hang mistletoe? I wear mistletoe.
5. When do you put your decorations up? Me? Put decorations up? I bring the decorations down from the attic, then I find a quiet place to pass out. When I recover, my wife already has the decorations up.
6. What is your favorite holiday dish (excluding dessert)? Everything on the menu.
7. Favorite Holiday memory as a child: I believe it was the year I was in Kindergarten, we got a real dumping of snow, which was exceedingly rare in the South. I remember my dad driving me out in his truck and I was so enthralled with how thick and white everything was. I think it was probably my first encounter with real snow.
8. When and how did you learn the truth about Santa? Truth about Santa? What do you mean? I -- I don't understand...
9. Do you open a gift on Christmas Eve? If there are any left that I haven't already begged to open.
10. How do you decorate your Christmas Tree? I set it up, unfold the branches, and smile approvingly as my wife and children hang the ornaments. I do prefer a "natural" tree, mostly wooden ornaments, popcorn, etc.
11. Snow! Love it or Dread it? If I weren't a Christian, I'd worship it.
12. Can you ice skate? Yes, just not on my feet.
13. Do you remember your favorite gift? My wife. 'Nuff said.
14. What's the most important thing about the Holidays for you? That we stop calling it the Holidays and call it Christmas again. Seriously though, getting together with family and fellowship over Christ.
15. What is your favorite Holiday Dessert? It would have to be Pumpkin Pie, or Pecan Pie, or I suppose a Cherry Pie, I suppose I should say whatever pie is being served.
16. What tops your tree? At the moment, a basketweave (?) angel.
17. Which do you prefer: giving or receiving? Giving, especially when I've got that perfect gift I know the person will love and not expect.
18. What is your favorite Christmas song? Favorite hymn would be "Joy to the World." As for the fun songs, I like "Christmas Bells (Snoopy & the Red Baron)", "Little Drummer Boy/Peace on Earth", and "Santa Claus is Coming to Town" by Springsteen.
19. Candy Canes! Yuck or Yum? Depends. I like the soft candy canes. You can stick them in hot chocolate, the inside will melt and they work like a straw.
20. Favorite Holiday movie? "It's a Wonderful Life"
