Decided to interview my daughter and see what her answers to this little quiz would be.
Sammy, age 6ish
1. Egg nog or hot chocolate? Eggnog
2. Does Santa wrap presents or just sit them under the tree? Our gifts to each other are usually in reusable fabric gift bags but Santa wraps his – in Santa wrapping paper.

8. When and how did you learn the truth about Santa? I still believe!
9. Do you open a gift on Christmas Eve? My family background is German so we opened all our gifts on Christmas Eve. Now, my daughter has always had the choice – she would be given the honour from Santa of being either the first one on his route and we’d open gifts on the Eve or she’d be given the honour of being his last delivery and we’d open them in the morning.
