Copycat Meme

Kate at Chronicles of a Country Girl posted this meme on her blog today. It looked fun, so I thought I'd play along.

1. Hot Chocolate or apple cider? Hot chocolate

3. Do you get a fake or real-you-cut-it-yourself Christmas tree? Sadly, fake - too many mishaps with falling real trees and broken ornaments.
