1) Wrapping paper or gift bags? I like wrapping paper but there are some things that just work better in gift bags.
2) Real tree or Artificial? Artificial. Way less mess!
3) When do you put up the tree? After Thanksgiving
4) When do you take the tree down? After Christmas
5) Do you like eggnog? It's ok.
6) Favorite gift received as a child? Probably the opal ring my parent's bought me for my 16th Christmas.
7) Hardest person to buy for? My stepdad. He's one of those guys that if he needs it, he buys it.
8) Easiest person to buy for? My daughter- she wants everything!
9) Do you have a nativity scene? One full one and part of another (I have the Mary and Joseph from the Willow Tree collection- maybe some nice person will get me the others to go along with these!)
10) Mail or email Christmas cards? Mail is so fun, but I can do email too.
11) Worst Christmas gift you ever received? I really don't remember if there was a worst ever- we usually got things we needed (like underwear and socks) but I don't remember them being bad.
12) Favorite Christmas Movie? Wow- I like them all! Favorite, probably Its a Wonderful Life. And I love the Santa Clause!
13) When do you start shopping for Christmas? November
14) Have you ever recycled a Christmas present? No, but I have threatened to. Early on in my grandmother's Altzheimers, when we didn't know what was happening, she would leave gifts in their boxes and hide them. I threatened to re-wrap them and see if she noticed.
15) Favorite thing to eat at Christmas? All the good chocolate treats! Oh, and my mom makes the best party mix with Life cereal.
16) Lights on the tree? Loaded with white lights.
17) Favorite Christmas song? Do You Hear What I Hear?
18) Travel at Christmas or stay home? Home.
19) Can you name all of Santa's reindeer's? Not according to Trivial Pursuit. There's a question that asks how many reindeer Santa has- I rattled off Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, and Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner, and Blitzen, and Rudolph. That's nine. The answer was eight!
20)Angel on the tree top or a star? Angel
21) Open the presents Christmas Eve or morning? We do a gift exchange with the entire family on Christmas Eve, so everyone gets a present, and then open everything else on Christmas morning.
22) Most annoying thing about this time of the year? Rude people crowding in the stores. I swear yesterday must have been "go really slow down the center of the aisle so no one can get by" say at WalMart.
23) Favorite ornament theme or color? I'm a traditional girl, so red and green. But I love that snow blue that is new out this year, it just doesn't fit in my traditional house.
24) Favorite for Christmas dinner? sweet potato souffle!
25) What do you want to do for Christmas this year? Enjoy it with my family and friends
