Christmas Questionnaire

So here you go. Feel free to comment back with your own Christmas faves!

1. Wrapping paper or gift bags? Ooo... tough one. I love picking out gift bags but I love to tear off wrapping paper!!!

2. Real tree or Artificial? Real has a wonderful smell. Artificial is easy to clean up after. I have a real 2.5 foot tree on my patio that will be kept year-round until I get a yard, then it will be planted.

3. When do you put up the tree? Mine's already on the patio with a few ornaments (it's small!). Usually the weekend after Thanksgiving.

4. When do you take the tree down? Sometime after the 1st.

5. Do you like eggnog? Yep!

6. Favorite gift received as a child? I really don't know. OK. I don't remember. I'm turning into my mother.

7. Hardest person to buy for? My mom. There are so many things she loves, it's hard to choose!

8. Easiest person to buy for? My mom. There are so many things she loves, all I have to do is choose!

9. Do you have a nativity scene? Not yet.

10. Mail or email Christmas cards? Mail. I'm having a friend of mine who is a budding photographer take pics of Coda and me for this year's cards. Keep an eye out in a few weeks for our awesome mugs in your mailbox! I've never done picture cards before!

11. Worst Christmas gift you ever received? I don't know. We always laugh at our stocking stuffers because they're always 'everyday' items, but that's why they're great at the same time!

12. (Not sure what happened to #12 - maybe writer of #12 too busy Christmas shopping to write silly question.)

13. When do you start shopping for Christmas? When I remember I have to shop for Christmas. I've already started this year, so I'm doing good.

14. Have you ever recycled a Christmas present? Maybe. If I did it was one of those gift-exchange things from work or school that would have ended up lost or in the trash otherwise.

15. Favorite thing to eat at Christmas? 7 layer bars and buckeyes.

16. Lights on the tree? Yep! I prefer multi-colored.

17. Favorite Christmas song? The Christmas Song, Sleigh Bells, Carol of the Bells

18. Travel at Christmas or stay home? Both. Family is everywhere... Minnesota, New Mexico, and Texas. Working out the rotation can be confusing.

19. Can you name all of Santa's reindeer's? Hello?! Can I sing that song that tells you their names? Yes.

20. Angel on the tree top or a star? Currently neither. Though it had been a star for awhile, and an angel while I was growing up.

21. Do you open presents on Christmas Eve or Morning? Traditionally in the morning unless we're "sharing" Christmas with multiple family members.

22. Most annoying thing about this time of the year? Besides everything I have to get done for the season on a personal level, it's also one of the busiest times at school with all our performances and upcoming events. So I feel like I have very little time to enjoy the season.

23. Favorite ornament theme or color? I love them all. Though lately the brightest and jolliest have been standing out to me.

24. Favorite for Christmas dinner? I love my mom's chili this time of year. LOVE IT.

25. What do you want for Christmas this year? An armband for my iPod to exercise with, a cordless drill, unique jewelry, pj's, a new robe, a massage, tickets, Minnesota Wild gear, picture frames, books... anything people give is wonderful.

26. Who is most likely to respond to this? Heidi was right that I'd respond to hers... hmmm... JENNY!

27. Favorite Christmas Movie? A Christmas Story, The Grinch

Merry Christmas!
