My name is Mac Scarlatti and I'm 13. I used to live on a ranch (and still do on weekends), but now I'm discovering the world of town life and how great having friends can be.

Christmas Tagged

 I know I have been MIA for awhile. I promise I'll do better after the holidays, but since my crazy cousin tagged me, I figured I better post rather than listen to her nag.

1) What is your favorite part of the holiday season?
Seeing all the Christmas lights and decorations.
 

2) Who do you celebrate Christmas with?
My family and cousins.

3) What is your favorite gift you have ever received?
Fern, my Paint filly. I got her before Christmas since it's a bit crazy to get a pet on Christmas, but she was a present.

4) What are your favorite Christmas Carols?
"Carol of the Bells"

5) What is your favorite Christmas food?
Stuffing. My family has the best recipe.

6) Can you sleep on Christmas Eve?
Yeah, I like to sleep.

7) When do you wake up on Christmas morning?
4:30, my usual time. Ranch chores have to be done before presents.

8) What is your most memorable memory?  
Seeing my grandfather dressed as Santa and putting presents under out tree back when we lived in North Dakota. Of course, I didn't know it was my grandfather at the time and it was very magical.

9) What are you Christmas traditions?
It's hard to take time off from the ranch, so we don't do a whole lot. We have a big dinner and spend time in the evening enjoying the tree and our presents while drinking hot chocolate and eating cookies. It's about the only time we're all together and not in a rush to do something else.

10) Do you have a real tree or an artificial tree?
Real, Daddy and my brothers cut it down themselves. Once the ground thaws we go back to where they cut the tree down and plant a few new ones.

Alright, I'm going to be a scrooge and not tag anyone else. I'll try to survive Emily's wrath. If you don't hear from me before February, you know what happened.
