    What do you like the least (or hate)

    - songs:  I Saw Mommy Kissin' Santa Claus and The Christmas Shoes

    -foods I don't like nuts, so anything with them is a no-go

    - drinks Never really cared for eggnog

    - standard presents  Not a fan of getting hand lotions and washes - they're rarely in scents I prefer, or too strong

    - traditions  I don't think there is a tradition that I don't like

    - decorations  Not a fan of themed trees, I much prefer a mash of family ornaments.  Also, not so sure on colored lights.

    - obligation I'm so incredibly sick of traveling (I wouldn't miss our family Christmases for the world, I'm just tired of a 4-5 hour drive to get there), and how we have to "squeeze in" church on Christmas Eve.  I want to go Christmas Day, but it's a major issue between DH and I, so Cmas Eve it is.

    songs: A lot of Pop remakes of old classics are terrible.

    foods: nothing I can think of.

    drinks: Eggnog

    standard presents: Random sents that I don't like or use

    traditions: I'm not a big fan of how late we have traditionally been out on Xmas eve. His family starts their stuff at 6pm, that's too late, I don't get it!

    decorations: Nutcrackers, they creep me out.

    obligation: Going to my Dad's side of the family, they are insane. At least the last couple years we skipped the big get together and just suffered through a visit a few days after.

    -foods: Fruitcake

    - drinks: Christmas punch (its an awful really strong grapefruit and brandy drink)

    - standard presents: Crappy Lotion, bodywash, soaps. I have bags of that stuff at home already.

    - traditions: I can't think of any that we do that i don't like

    - decorations: the plastic light up santa and figures.

    - obligation: Going to everyone's house on Christmas. I would like to just enjoy my day with my family and then go to dinner.

    - Frosty the Snowman makes me twitch.

    - Deviled eggs

    -I do not like it when my family adds whiskey to Eggnog

    -Shaving cream

    -Mexican food the night before

    -ALL OF THEM!! I desperately want to buy all new clean-modern/contemporary decorations with a theme of stars and light but I do not want to purchase these until we own our own home.

    - Seeing some of my Dad's side of the family. It is fake.
