This or That

Gas. I love wood but have never been especially adept, or comfortable, at handling fire.

Brick or flat (asphalt or concrete) driveway?

I love the look of brick, but it's a pain if it starts to crack in places; I will choose concrete.

Ham or prime rib for a holiday dinner?

Neither. For Thanksgiving, turkey. For Christmas, handmade meat ravioli and beef tenderloin. All traditions passed down from my Italian great-grandparents.

Tree topper: Angel or star?

Star. They put up less fuss about being tied to a tree. 😨

String up the lights yourself or get a pre-lit artificial tree?

String up the lights myself.

Small or big lights to wrap around a Christmas tree?
