15. Favorite thing to eat at Christmas?
Jamaican Black Cake (traditionally, the fruit & raisins soak for years in wine/rum in a big mason jar. Only enough of it is taken out to make that year's batch of cakes, then the jar is topped up with more rum, wine and dried raisins/fuit. It's rich, moist and delicious and nothing like regular fruitcake)

Angel

One gift gets opened Christmas Eve (this was to stop the boy from making me crazy with his begging), the rest get opened Christmas morning.
22. Most annoying thing about this time of the year?
It's a lot of work for one day that's over so fast. And the crowds in the stores. And all the "business" Christmas fuctions you're expected to put in an appearance at, but cut into your damn work day.

Some of my old ones that carry special memories.

Great questions! Actually, just reading them got me a little more in the holiday spirit.
Caryn, it put me more in the Christmas mood too. Reminded me of a lot of my favourite things.
