Welcome to the Christmas edition of getting to know your friends.
Okay, here's what you're supposed to do, and try not to be a SCROOGE!!!
1. Wrapping paper or gift bag? It depends on who it is and how much time is left but I definately LOVE wrapping paper and bows.
2. Real tree or artificial? Every live tree I've purchased never smells. I'm sticking with artificial and saving $$ and a tree.
3. When do you put up the tree? Hopefully before Christmas.
4. When do you take the tree down? Immediately after New Years. It's all I can take.
5. Do you like eggnog? It's OK but I usually pass it up.
6. Favorite gift received as a child? The kitchen set and an Atari! (But then Dad and Shane took it over!)
7. Do you have a nativity scene? Not for me. Our is the "Little People" version. So far, Baby Jesus has survived.
8. Hardest person to buy for? Definately Parents and In-laws.
9. Easiest person to buy for? My girls.
10. Worst Christmas gift you ever received? I had a break down over an electric toothbrush once...
11. Mail or e-mail Christmas cards? Mail cards WITH pictures!
12. Favorite Christmas Movie? Polar Express and for some reason The Holy Grail is tradition.
13. When do you start shopping for Christmas? October
14. Have you ever recycled a Christmas present? Do we have to admit that?
15. Favorite thing to eat at Christmas? Dad's fudge, Ryan's Divinity, Mom's gravy!
16. Clear lights or colored on the tree? Love clear, but the kids win - COLOR!
17. Favorite Christmas song? O Holy Night - Jesus was Born Today (Oak Ridge Boys)
18. Travel at Christmas or stay home? Staying home. The hustle and bustle plus traveling? It's too much!
19. Can you name all of Santa's reindeers? Yes, but only if I sing it.
20. Angel on the tree top or a star? Never had an opinion. Right now it's Santa (our angel was kidnapped!) Then Audrey reminded me that's not what "it's" all about.
21. Open the presents Christmas Eve or morning? One on Christmas Eve & all the rest on Christmas morning (one at a time)
22. Most annoying thing about this time of year? BLACK FRIDAY and no matter how early I begin, I ALWAYS run out of time to do what I want to the most!
23. What I love most about Christmas? Kids, Christmas music, games, tastefully done exterior lights, and sledding when there is snow.
24. Do you always get a new pair of pajamas for yourself or someone else? No.
25. Do you decorate your home on the outside? The big "C9" colored lights aligned to perfection (thanks to Ryan.) Definately a childhood memory from my home. We look like a gingerbread house and we want to be seen from space!

My responses are blogged! Thanks for the fun memories of The Oak Ridge Boys Christmas and Atari! Remember also flocked trees, silver tinsel, and those "shadow box" Christmas scenes Mom had. Good times :)
Okay, I blew it- I didn't see that I was tagged until too late. Now you will all have to wait in sheer anticipation for my answers until next Christmas! :)
