Random Christmas questions

My cousin Tami posted a list of questions (and her own answers) on her blog, and "tagged" her readers (who have blogs too) to do the same on their own blogs.  

So here are the questions with my answers.  If you have a blog, feel free to do the same!  (Easy blog post!)

1. Wrapping paper or gift bags? Usually paper, unless it’s a funny shape and I happen to have a bag it will fit in.

2. Real tree or artificial? Real Tree for the first time in several years.  Its coming on Sunday!

3. When do you put up the tree? This Sunday.  This past weekend seemed too early, but now this coming weekend almost feels too late!

4. When do you take down the tree? By Easter : )

5. Do you like eggnog? Actually I’m not sure.  I think I tried it and liked it, but I know its bad for you so I figure its better not to get hooked.  There are plenty of other things I love to indulge in over the holidays!

6. Favorite gift received as a child? Its hard to remember my favorite, but one that made a big impression was a little gumball machine I got when I was about 5.

7. Hardest person to buy for? Susanna (because she says she really wants make-up this year.)

8. Easiest person to buy for? Ben.

9. Do you have a nativity scene? Yes. I just bought a hand-knitted set off ebay (and yes it was made in England!)

10. Mail or email Christmas cards? Mail, if I actually do them.

11. Worst Christmas gift you have received? I am going to decline to answer this one.

12. Favorite Christmas movie? Muppets Christmas Carol.

13. When do you start shopping? Usually before summer, but this year not until November as I had no hiding places in the other house.

14. Have you ever recycled a Christmas present? No.



15. Favorite thing to eat at Christmas? Baked goods of all kinds.



16. Favorite Christmas song? 

Christmas Wrapping.

17. Travel at Christmas or stay home? We’ll be at home on Christmas day, but have trips planned before and after Christmas.

18. Open presents Christmas Eve or morning? Morning.



19. Most annoying thing about this time of the year? Not enough time to get everything done.



20. Favorite ornament theme or color? Handmade, either by the kids or from someone else.



21. What do you want for Christmas this year? Fun stuff from the cook shop.

Merry Christmas!!
