Christmas meme
1. Egg Nog or Hot Chocolate? – We didn't really have either on Battleworld, though Mom kept trying to approximate hot chocolate. We kind of compromised and had a sweetened tea that I've been trying to figure out how to duplicate since.
2. Does Santa wrap presents or just sit them under the tree? Dad wrapped them. I don't think anyone else has ever been so precise about their gift wrapping.
3. Colored lights on tree/house or white? With Dad? First few years there wasn't enough supplies to really decorate a ton, so we did without. Once things were more settled, the Rogers' family always had the most amazing display of lights.
4. Do you hang mistletoe? We didn't have mistletoe. I heard about it though.
5. When do you put your decorations up? Once we had managed to work out the calendar, Dad put them up December 1st. I wasn't allowed to help til I was 13.
6. What is your favorite holiday dish? Not sure there's equivalents to anything on Battleworld exactly, but I always miss the smell of baking filling the house.
7. Favorite Holiday memory as a child? Every year, Dad and I would stay up and sit on top of the base and watch for Santa Claus. Even in my mid-teens, he insisted he was real, and we kept up the tradition. He'd always find a shooting star, comet, or something to point out as Santa Claus coming. I still can't sleep on Christmas til I at least check.
8. When and how did you learn the truth about Santa? See the above answer. Santa never precisely came to Battleworld. It was a very small community with no way to shop, just the machines and scrounging around the alien wilderness for stuff, so we always had a pretty good idea who was giving who what. But Dad still insisted he'd met Santa, and not in a 'talking to little kids' sort of way, and, well, its Dad.
9. Do you open a gift on Christmas Eve? No. We didn't have much, so extra gifts weren't really possible, and once we learned how to use the computers, everyone knew what we were getting anyway, for the most part.
10. How do you decorate your Christmas tree? The easiest things to use as trees around us were the crystalline structures in the region adjacent to us. They really looked amazing with different colored lights shining and blinking through them.
11. Snow! Love it or Dread it? Love it.
12. Can you ice skate? Yes
13. Do you remember your favorite gift? The first time Dad let me use the shield as a toboggan, long as I didn't tell anyone.
14. What’s the most important thing about the Holidays for you? Spending time with Dad. He loved Christmastime so much.
15. What is your favorite Holiday Dessert? Mom's Christmas cookies and sweet tea.
16. What is your favorite holiday tradition? Watching for Santa with Dad, but since I already mentioned that one, hearing Uncle Kurt singing carols in German.
17. What tops your tree? We didn't have a tree, really, and nothing worked quite right on the crystals but lights.
18. Which do you prefer giving or receiving? Giving
19. Candy Canes: Yuck or Yum? Yum
20. Favorite Christmas Show? We didn't have TV, no real answer here.
21. Saddest Christmas Song? I’ll Be Home For Christmas. It has a whole new meaning for me ever since we left Battleworld and spent our first Christmas away from home on sentinel Earth.
22. What is your favorite Christmas Song? Silent Night, in German
