Good morning, how are you? What kind of Christmas tree did you buy?
I'm doing very well thank you! I bought a white one since that's probably the closest thing we'll have for snow in May!
Do you live somewhere where it snows often? Did you buy a small or a large Christmas tree?
I live in Alaska so yes! But we don't really have snow falling now! I bought a small one. Do you know when Christmas trees first started being used?
A 7th/8th Century monk named St. Boniface is attributed to starting the tradition of Christmas trees. They were originally decorated with candles and were supposed to represent the unity of the Holy Trinity. What kind of ornaments do you like to put on your tree?
I'm actually a no ornament kind of gal! They're just a scam that get us to consume more unnecessary China!
The first Christmas ornaments originated in Latvia in the 15th century. I know they can hold much symbolic tradition for many people. Do you have other favorite Christmas traditions?
They only thing I like about Christmas is the dinners we have on Christmas day...but lately we couldn't do them because of everyone's work schedules so we're doing Christmas early!
That's sad! I know that ham, turkey, and even roast duck are traditional holiday food. Does your family have a favorite dish?
We usually have Tofurky since 90% of us are vegan...it's very delicious!
It's a vegan turkey alternative, made from soy correct? They even make a complete thanksgiving meal in a box for people who are vegetarian. That seems like it would be a great deal for those who are vegetarian or vegan.
