1. Wrapping paper or gift bags? wrapping paper... I love to wrap gifts and make them beautiful, but I have learned that my kids don't appreciate a well wrapped gift so I rarely use even a bow on their gifts.
2. Real tree or artificial? I really like real trees... but I broke down years ago and bought an artificial one. I do enjoy not having to stress about getting a real one, but I love to look at my friend's real trees.
3. When do you put your Christmas tree up? The weekend after Thanksgiving. If I'm going to work hard putting it up, I want it up as long as possible. Plus, it's pretty.
4. Like egg nog? Yes... and my favorite is spiking it with bubbily Sprite. Yum! Yum!
5. Do you have a nativity scene? Yes! However, this year I only put a few pieces up because I didn't want David playing with it!
6. Favorite Christmas gift received as a child? I don't remember a lot of my gifts, but I do remember one quite well... it was a new three-story doll house. I loved it!
7. Hardest person to buy for? Jason's and my parents!
8. Easiest person to buy for? David & Audrey (they both still love everything!... and it doesn't cost an arm & a leg!)
.
9. Worst Christmas gift? hmmmmm... Oh! I know! It was the IOU for ski poles that my brother gave me and never came through on.
10. E-mail or snail mail Christmas card? Snail mail!! I love getting everyone's Christmas Cards that I can hang up!
11. Favorite Christmas movie? Christmas Vacation. I laugh every time!
12. When do you start shopping for Christmas? Usually late October, but I'm never done until days before Christmas... :(
13. Have you ever recycled a Christmas present? Don't think so....
14. Favorite food to eat on Christmas? Oh... where do I start.... ??? Egg nog, beef stick with cheese & crackers, ham with potatoes and all the fixings, all the candy and chocolate treats, Hershy's Mint Chocolate Kisses (they didn't make them this year & I'm furious!)
15. Clear or colored tree lights? clear
16. What is your favorite Christmas Song? Silent Night
17. Travel during Christmas or Stay home? we have never traveled at Christmas...both our families are from this area, but one year I'd love to rent a cabin in the mountains and go with family.... maybe when my kids are older... not now.
18. Can you name Santa's reindeer? Sure... I just need to copy them off Jamie and Melissa's site real quick. ha! ha! I always forget a few of them.
19. Angel or Star on Tree top? a star (it came with the tree and I actually like it!)
20. Open presents on Christmas Eve or morning? It's tradition to open one with my family on Christmas Eve!
21. Most annoying thing about this time of year? Worrying about getting too much or too little for my kids.
