1. Wrapping paper or gift bags?
wrapping paper with real ribbon
2. Real tree or artificial?
we have an artificial but I love the smell of real
3. When do you put up the tree?
right after Thanksgiving
4. When do you take down the tree?
usually New Years Day
(personally, I would like it down Dec. 26th)
5. Do you like egg nog?
Hello! Love it!
6. Favorite gift received as a child.
-there are two-
1.as funny as this may seem, my stocking was always a favorite
there were little goodies plus one apple and one orange
we were allowed to go through our stocking while my parents woke up
we had to wait to open the presents until we were all there
2.Donny and Marie barbie dolls
7. Hardest person to buy for.
my husband - he doesn't want anything for Christmas
he isn't a scrooge - he just isn't a big gift kind of person
8. Easiest person to buy for.
Katie - I have never had to worry about what we should get for her.
9. Do you have a nativity scene?
Yes, more than one. Each has a special meaning, because of when we purchased it or who purchased it for us. My very favorite is a little country looking one of Joseph, Mary, and baby Jesus. It is sweet and simple.
10. Mail or email Christmas cards?
Mail!
Usually I have pictures of our children to send and this is the 2nd year
(in a row)
that I have dropped the ball on it.
Very frustrating to me!
11. Worst Christmas gift you ever received.
Orders from the Coast Guard that took Woody away for the holidays (in 1994).
Katie and I made the best of it, we bought our very own little tree that we decorated.
But it just wasn't the same with out him!
12. Favorite Christmas movie.
"It's A Wonderful Life" hands down ...
but I just saw "Elf" the other night and laughed so much!
That would be right up there with "The Santa Clause" (our family movie)!
13. When do you start shopping for Christmas?
Oh boy ... I used to be so much better about getting shopping done way before the holidays. Not anymore ... seems the closer we get, the more I need to do. Plus making gifts tends to take me closer to Dec. 25th!
14. Have you ever recycled a Christmas present?
Not that I can remember.
And no, that doesn't mean I am pleading innocence.
I just think it is tacky to do so!
Now, Christmas bags and boxes is a totally different story!
I have recycled the real nice ones,
I usually throw out the battered ones ... that someone else recycled for my gift.
15. Favorite thing to eat at Christmas.
a ham dinner
then the next day have ham and eggs for breakfast
yum
16. Lights on the tree?
yes, white lights
17. Travel or stay home for Christmas?
on the actual day ... stay home for sure
we usually do our running around ahead of the 25th
18. Open the presents Christmas eve or morning?
Morning ... although I have two pretty good negotiators that have yet to give up
asking for "just one" present to be opened Christmas eve.
Thanks Lois for a fun little game!
