Xeriscape!

Ok, repeat… xeriscape. 
 

French fries or rice

Rice. I had to look xeriscape up.

It's definitely better since I stopped smoking. 1 year in January. For HS baseball we had to join the cross-country runners club in the winter. So, I always ran, sometimes with a cigarette in my mouth. Stopped when I broke my heel. Started again a few years ago. Certainly not as well. I finished about 1,600th of 1,800 men. Though most participants were younger.

Bags: paper or plastic

Paper, but very few stores offer paper, so we end up with plastic. We do take our own bags to the grocery store.

Good for you for several accomplishments, not smoking, 5k, placing better than 200 other men! You have a lot to celebrate!  Did you get the window fixed?

Plants or flowers

Flowers

I left a note for our handyman, and he was able to close the window. He said the spindles were broken. I need to check with the building manager tomorrow on how that gets fixed. The windows are designed to not open more than 6 inches, so people don't place things on the ledge. Makes sense as you don't want things falling but they've always been a pain to open and close.

Trees or bushes 

Trees

 Christmas tree: colored lights or white lights

Colored

Tinsel or lights first

Lights first

Ornaments: bulbs or figures (not sure what to call the ones that aren’t bulbs)

Figures, but both. Not sure what they would be called either.

Santa or Krampus

Santa… had to look up Krampus. Not sure I got the right thing on Google images but he was kind of creepy Java! 
 

Sugar cookies or Chocolate chip

Chocolate chip.    You got the right image, Lore. In Eastern/Central European culture Santa gives the good children, things, and Krampus deals with the bad.

Eggnog or champagne
