Christmas Questions:
1. Wrapping paper or gift bags? Definitely paper. It's just more fun.
2. Real or Artificial Tree? Artificial
3. When do you put up the tree? Thanksgiving or the day after.
4. When do you take it down? Jan. 1st or 2nd. I used to leave my snowmen out until V-day, but too many people would ask, why do you still have your Christmas stuff out? I got tired of explaining that they're winter, not Christmas.
5. Do you like eggnog? Can't remember what it taste like. I think I've only had it once.
6. Favorite gift received? Always like cash. Or clothes.
7. Do you have a nativity scene? Yes. Mom got it for me, I think the first year in our house. I really love it, but I'd like to get a plastic set so Z could play with it and we could talk more about the Christmas story with it.
8. Hardest person to buy for? Dad
9. Easiest person to buy for? my kids - they can't talk, so no complaining, yet.
10. Worst Christmas gift you've ever received? stuff I don't need and just takes up a lot of space. We have a small house and I hate junk.
11. Do you have a favorite ornament on your tree? Every year, I love getting out my ornaments. "Oh, I love this one." then another. "oooooh, this is my favorite." then another "I forgot about this one." Maybe my favorite are these ones that are picture frames that I put our yearly Christmas pictures in. Love Christmas photos.
12. Favorite Christmas movie? Maybe - You've Got Mail. I'm a Meg fan.
13. When do you start shopping for Christmas? Usually the week before, but this year, we went in mid-Nov.
.
14. Have you ever recycled a Christmas present? Yes. Junk I don't need that takes up space in our small house.
15. Favorite thing to eat at Christmas? spiced desserts/drinks. Ones that smell like Christmas. Gingerbread latte.
16. Clear or colored lights on the tree? Clear.
17. Favorite Christmas song? Love this song: "I love the winter weather, when the two of us can get together. There's nothin' sweeter or finer, when it's nice and cold when I get home. My baby closer to me. Collect the kisses that are due me. I love the winter weather, when I've got my love to keep me warm." Really, I love most Christmas songs, but they can all be done badly. SOmetimes I pull out the music in the summer just for fun.
18. Travel at Christmas or stay at home? Stay home, mostly.
19. Can you name all of Santa's reindeer? no
20. Angel or star on top of the tree? Used to have an angel, but new tree is smaller and it looked funny up there. Now I have a bow.
21. Open presents Christmas Eve or Christmas morning? Both.
22. Most annoying thing about this time of year? lost focus of the meaning of it.
23. Does Santa leave gifts wrapped or unwrapped? Hmmm - You know Santa's not real, right?
24. Do you leave cookies for Santa on Christmas Eve? See #23
25. What is your favorite Christmas memory? It's all good.

Veggie Tales has a nativity scene... just a thought.
Good Reading. Thanks for the tag. Since it's midnight, I think I'll wait until tomorrow.
I have the Max Lucado box set. We should use it at a playdate one of these days before Christmas to teach the kids about the real meaning of Christmas.
Geez. Maybe I should take back your gift. Humm. Or maybe I will just give you permission to recycle it. Just don't recycle it back to me. It doesn't match my stuff.
I like that song, too. I remember hearing it playing at your house when we made Christmas cards.
Yes, C, take it back and get me some clothes.
