{image via 123rf.com}I came across this list on a few blogs I read...consider yourself tagged.
1. Wrapping paper or gift bags? Both, I always wait to wrap and then get bored with it and resort to the bags.
2. Real tree or artificial? Fake, but I long for real tree. My husband is against it and frankly he's right, it does seem like a waste. As a kid we had real for many years.
3. When do you put up the tree? Usually the day after Thanksgiving, but this year it was the Sunday before Thanksgiving Day.
4. When do you take the tree down? New Year's Day
5. Do you like eggnog? I recently tried it again and it wasn't bad. There was something comforting in the vanilla.
6. Favorite gift received as a child? Hmmm, there isn't anything that stands out as something that I really wanted and received. Sad, huh?
7. Do you have a Nativity scene? Yes, the Little People one.
8. Hardest person to buy for? My parents...they don't need anything and recently downsized to an apartment.
9. Easiest person to buy for? My kids.
10. Worst Christmas gift you ever received? Hmm. Nothing sticks out in particular, but I must have gotten somthing really bad at least once.
11. Mail or e-mail Christmas cards? Mail...do people really send e-mail Christmas cards?
12. Favorite Christmas Movie? Elf and A Christmas Story
13. When do you start shopping for Christmas? October.
14. Have you ever recycled a Christmas present? Most likely!
15. Favorite thing to eat at Christmas? Cookies
16 Clear lights or colored on the tree? Clear everywhere, but the kid's little tree.
17. Favorite Christmas song? Santa Baby because my kids love it as much as I do and The Prayer by Celine Dion and Andrea Bocelli.
18 Travel at Christmas or stay home? Travel but only 45 minutes away for Christmas Eve.
19. Can you name all of Santa's reindeer? Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner, Blitzen and Rudolph.
20. Angel on the tree top or a star? Star.
21. Open the presents Christmas Eve or morning? Both, since we see different sides of the family each day.
22. Most annoying thing about this time of year? Rude people. I get it, it's the holidays and you are stressed out, but come on!
23. Favorite Christmas tradition? When I was a kid, every year we would go to Grandma's to decorate her tree and have pizza.
24. Up early or sleeping in? Always up early...even when it's not Christmas!
25. Who hands out the gifts? Whoever is the closest.
26. Does Santa wrap your gifts? Yes, but it's getting harder to pull it off as the kids are getting older. If the whole roll isn't used, I have to remember to get rid of the evidence!
27. Do you tell the Christmas story? Yes, over the course of the month.
28. Do you leave cookies for Santa? Yes.
