Welcome to the Holiday edition of getting to know your friends.
1. Wrapping paper or gift bags? I love wrapping presents. To me, bags are just an easy way out of wrapping the presents.
2. Real tree or artificial? This year I got Mitch to go with me to look at real trees, and about 5 minutes later we had the perfect one picked out. It's thick, and full, and smells unbelievably good. In the past we had a very small, skinny fake tree.
3. When do you put up the tree? Whenever we have time. This year, we put it up yesterday.
4. When do you take the tree down? Same answer...whenever time permits.
5. Do you like eggnog? I've honestly never tried it.
6. What about Fruitcake? Again, I've never had it, but probably don't.
7. Favorite gift received as a child? Probably Barbie's Dream House. I got it when I was around 5 years old, and I can't wait to pull it out again with Jacey. Supposedly my parents stayed up half the night to put it together; mom having a blast, dad being miserable with all the little stickers and girly stuff.
8. Do you have a nativity scene? Yep, my mom got us the Willow Tree nativity scene a few years ago.
9. Hardest person to buy for? Probably Leland.
10. Easiest person to buy for? My mom
11. Worst Christmas gift you ever received? I actually can't think of one
12. Mail or email Christmas cards? I used to send cards. This year, you'll just have to know you're loved without one.
13. Favorite Christmas Movie? Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. What a classic! Mom even has all the figurines. I also like White Christmas.
14. When do you start shopping for Christmas? Right before we leave for Thanksgiving, since we celebrate Christmas and Thanksgiving together with part of the family.
15. Have you ever recycled a Christmas present? Nope but sometimes I want to.
16. Favorite thing to eat at Christmas? fudge, cherry cheesecake
17. Clear lights or colored on the tree? We have both. Supposedly if you wrap the trunk of the tree with clear lights, it glows. Then we put colored lights on, and our tree definitely twinkles.
18. Favorite Christmas song? Jingle Bells and Sleigh Ride (I love the crack of the whip and the horse...I'm am band dork, I know.)
19. Travel for Christmas or stay at home? We are actually going to be home for Christmas day for the first time. Then we are traveling to Nashville to visit my parents. Yep, 15 hours in the car with an infant. I'll keep you informed on that one.
20. Can you name all of Santa's reindeer? actually yes
21. Angel on the tree top or a star? We went with a Santa hat. Whoever distributes the presents on Christmas morning wears the hat.
22. Open the presents Christmas Eve or morning? Christmas morning, unless it's cool pjs from the Wiggains.
23. What is the one present you want most this year? I honestly have everything I wanted already. The rest is just icing on the cake.
24. Most annoying thing about this time of year? "White Santa" gift exchanges. I hate opening and stealing things that someone got just because it was the worst thing they could find in their house. Dirty Santa is much better. It's the same idea, but with really cool gifts.
25. What I love most about Christmas? Being with family, giving presents, possibility of snow, carols, getting cool stuff, and the magic of it all.
I tag Mitch, Mom, Charlotte, and Laura.
