Christmas This or That

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.
Real Christmas 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.

  1. 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.

  5. The 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

    1. 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.

    1. I am seeing this as a trend. I love the movie and have watched both a ton this year already!

  11. Home 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.

    1. I 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.
