Got this from my cousin Barbara's blog, so here goes...
1.WRAPPING PAPER or GIFT BAGS? Mostly wrapping paper. When we run out of paper, we break out the bags.
2.REAL or ARTIFICIAL TREE? We have the saddest fake "Charlie Brown" Christmas tree I've ever seen, it sheds more than a real one. If we could keep a real one from drying out to soon then we'd definitely have a real one. (you just can't beat the smell!)
3.WHEN DO YOU PUT UP THE TREE? Usually the day after Thanksgiving.
4.DO YOU LIKE EGGNOG? Yep!!! I had never tried it until I met Steve. I've been hooked ever since...on both :)
5.FAVORITE GIFT AS A CHILD? This is a tough one...my parents were amazing gift-givers. I guess I would have to go with my violin, since it still looks almost brand-new and it's gotten the most use.
6.DO YOU HAVE A NATIVITY SCENE? Yep...four.
7.HARDEST PERSON TO BUY FOR? Steve. He has to be VERY specific about what ye wants (usually tools) Otherwise, I usually screw it up
8.EASIEST PERSON TO BUY FOR? Stevie!!! My little boy is so easy to please...we could give him underwear and he'd be excited. (wait...we DID do that once, and he WAS excited!)
9.EMAIL OR CARDS? CARDS- We usually send out a family newsletter through the mail. But due to lack of funds this year, I think we may be going the e-mail route.
10.FAVORITE CHRISTMAS MOVIE? That would HAVE to be "Elf". I've seen it more times than I can count, and it still cracks me up :D
11.WHEN DO YOU START SHOPPING FOR CHRISTMAS? After Thanksgiving, but NEVER on Black-Friday.
12.FAVORITE THINGS TO EAT DURING CHRISTMAS? My mom's delicious cinnamon rolls, and orange sticks
13.WHITE LIGHTS OR COLORED LIGHTS? White Lights
14.FAVORITE CHRISTMAS SONG? Breath of Heaven - Amy Grant's version
15.TRAVEL FOR CHRISTMAS OR STAY HOME? Stay home. I hope to never travel at Christmas time again!
16.CAN YOU NAME ALL OF SANTA'S REINDEER? Uuhhh...can I sing Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer?...absolutely
17.ANGEL OR STAR ON TOP OF THE TREE? We have an angel, but I wish it was a star. I'm still waiting to find the perfect one.
18.DO YOU OPEN PRESENTS CHRISTMAS EVE OR CHRISTMAS MORNING? Both. We open Christmas jammies Christmas Eve night, then the rest Christmas morning.
19.MOST ANNOYING THING ABOUT THIS TIME OF YEAR? Cranky kids that don't fall for the "you better be good, or Santa's not coming" trick.
20.UP EARLY OR SLEEP IN? Up early...we're a family of early risers! Sleeping-in would mean getting up around 7 or 8
21.ARE YOUR GIFTS FROM SANTA OR MRS.CLAUS? Santa! I've never even heard of getting gifts from the Mrs.
22.DO YOU TELL THE CHRISTMAS STORY? EVERY YEAR - Of course, costumes and all! It wouldn't be Christmas without it
23.DO YOU LEAVE COOKIES OUT FOR SANTA? Only if the kids remember.
24.FAVORITE CHRISTMAS TRADITION? Hanging the Christmas stockings hand-made by Grandma "Pete" (we're REALLY going to miss her this year...and every year to come), and watching the kids act out the Christmas story Christmas Eve night, then opening our Christmas jammies!
