Tis the Season (well, almost)

Okay, here's what you're supposed to do, and try not to be a SCROOGE!!! Just copy to your blog and change all the answers so that they apply to you. Then tag whomever you choose......'Tis the Season!

1. Wrapping paper or gift bags? Most definately wrapping paper. I love wrapping them but really enjoy ripping them apart on christmas day.
2. Real tree or Artificial? I liked real trees. They smell really good. I loved going and choosing a tree to put in the living room. Artificial is good though. Not as messy and the lights can remain on the tree. Either is good I guess
3. When do you put up the tree? shortly after thanksgiving
4. When do you take the tree down? The day after christmas
5. Do you like eggnog? Kind of. I think I like to sip on it. I have not tried it again after the first time. We will see if I try it again.
6. Favorite gift received as a child? I got a flute for christmas one year. That was a cool one.
7. Hardest person to buy for? Any guy. What do you get guys???
8. Easiest person to buy for? My mom. We usually get her a calendar every year. So, traditions help.
9. Do you have a nativity scene? No.
10. Mail or email Christmas cards? If I were to do one, it would be by mail.
11. Worst Christmas gift you ever received? I think Tessa was wanting a Ferbi. I thought those were really annoying and I made it clear that I did not want one. As a joke, my parents bought me a stuffed Ferbi. Not as annoying but I got one. It was funny though.
12. Favorite Christmas Movie? The Nativity.
13. When do you start shopping for Christmas? I usually do it two weeks before. It is easy for me. I don't have kids.
14. Have you ever recycled a Christmas present? No.
15. Favorite thing to eat at Christmas? Ham and Chips with dip. Yum!!
16. Lights on the tree? Most definaltely.

18. Travel at Christmas or stay home? Stay home.
19. Can you name all of Santa's reindeer's? Honestly I cannot.
20. Angel on the tree top or a star? I vote star.
21. Open the presents Christmas Eve or morning? One on Christmas Eve and the rest on Christmas morning.
22. Most annoying thing about this time of the year? This year in Thatcher is really annoying. At walmart, they already a tree out. They have christmas decorations out. They have these red posts in the front of the store and they decorated it with a bow. They did this at the begginning of November. Two months early! That, in my book, is too early.
23. Favorite ornament theme or color? Color would be the traditional red and green. I don't like the blue. I guess I take ofter my mom. I like all the homemade ornaments. It makes the tree look origional. I don't like the christmas trees that are perfectly decorated. You know what ones I am talking about?
24. Favorite for Christmas dinner? Ham, potatoes, rolls, anything.... except the shrimp dip.
25. Favorite family Christmas tradition? Going to see the temple light. We have not done it a couple years and I was sad about that. Opening a present christmas eve. Umm, I cannot think of anymore.
