What is your holiday decorating style (traditional, modern, funky, etc.)? Hmm...somewhere in the middle of traditional and modern, I'd say, but closer to modern.

What is your holiday decorating style (traditional, modern, funky, etc.)? Mostly traditional. I like to decorate in a way that reminds me of Christmas when I was a kid.
What colors do you like to decorate in? My tree is usually either red and gold or just all metal tones (like gold, bronze, light silver, etc.). This year I think I might be adding green to the mix.
Any holiday traditions? Our tree-lighting day is sacred. Anthony and I go to pick out our tree, diligently put up the lights (with my Grandma's egg nog on hand, of course) and it is just such a special day to us. I can't wait to share that with our future children. Aside from that, I always have a baking marathon day, where I spend the whole day baking Christmas cookies.
Favorite holiday food? My mom's corn souffle.
What is on your wishlist this year? An iphone. I can't believe DH and I are crossing over to the dark side, but we're both getting each other iphones this year!

Each year we go to my sister's house and we have a roasted pig and a turkey. The men make the pig and the women make the turkey. Each year it's a battle between which one wins, the turkey or the pork! We also have a Santa come (someone at the party escapes and comes back in dressed as Santa) and we pass out chocolate and take gifts with Santa. We also read the story of Christmas (the Christian story) and decorate cupcakes for Jesus' birthday. So cheesy, but I love it. Favorite holiday food? Black Beans, hands down!!! My mom makes them once a year and they are to die for, no joke. She could win an award. The holiday desserts are a close second. What is on your wishlist this year? Some WS cooking stuff, some C&B holiday stuff, and my big ticket item is a Le Creuset Grill Pan!What is your favorite part about the holiday season? I love Noche Buena and getting together with my family, eating the huge meal, doing the gift exchange. The whole day is filled with traditions and I cherish all of them.
