Several of my blogging friends have completed this questionnaire...now it's my turn. I agree with my friend Carly when she said, "I like to find out things about people that probably won't come up in a normal conversation."
1. Wrapping paper or gift bags? Wrapping paper, although there are some gifts that require a gift bag due to size or oddly shaped.
2. Real tree or Artificial? Artificial, with lights built in! Real trees give me a stuffy nose and I think they are a fire hazard.
3. When do you put up the tree? The Saturday or Sunday after Thanksgiving.
4. When do you take the tree down the tree? Right after the New Year.
5. Do you like egg nog? Drink an egg....ummm, I don't think so!
6. Favorite gift received as a child? The one thing that stands out is a Cabbage Patch Kid named Roxie. It was my first Cabbage Patch. She's out in the garage right now.
7. Do you have a nativity scene? Yes, I have one my mom gave me when I was about 10. We also have the Fisher Price Little People one...it's the best!!! And we have the Veggie Tales nativity...very cute. I have a great nativity snow globe that will probably be broken one of the days by one of my children.
8. Hardest person to buy for? Steve's parents and his Grandma Ruthie
9. Easiest person to buy for? Braxton and Nash
10.Mail or email Christmas cards? Mail, but it's looking like I won't be getting them out this year. Maybe I'll try for a New Year's card. Do people seriously e-mail Christmas cards?
11.Worst Christmas gift you ever received? Random little trinkets and clothes that don't fit.
12. Favorite Christmas Movie? I don't really know....Rudolph is a classic cartoon one. There's one about Santa's daughter (some model is the actress). It's pretty cute and I seem to find it on TV every year.
13. Have you ever recycled a Christmas present? Yes.
14. Favorite thing to eat at Christmas? My mom's dressing, wassal, Christmas sugar cookies with icing.
15. Clear lights or colored on the tree? Clear
16. Favorite Christmas songs? Oh Holy Night, I'll be Home for Christmas, Jewel's version of Rudolph...she yodels. It's great!
17. Travel at Christmas or stay home? We do both. When you get married you inherit another set of family traditions and we have started some of our own as well. We stay home on Christmas Eve and wake up on Christmas morning at our own home. LOVE IT!! After presents and breakfast we hit the road to visit family. We always have to remember to get gas the night before and pack snacks for the road. EVERYTHING is closed on Christmas Day!
18. Can you name all of Santa’s reindeer? Yes. I'm a mommy of small children, a former first grade teacher and I currently teach preschoolers. I gotta know those reindeer by name!
19. Open the presents Christmas Eve or morning? Christmas morning and then again that afternoon and for a few days after that as we travel the country seeing family. (Run on sentence maybe?)
20. Most annoying thing about this time of year? Rude people who don't wave at you when you let them cross in the parking lot. Oh wait, maybe that's not just during the holidays!
21. Favorite ornament theme or color? Our tree is hodge-podge. My mom has given me an ornament every year since I was born, so I had 21 ornaments to start our tree with when we got married. I buy one for the boys every year too. I love getting ornaments when we go on vacations or somewhere special. Each ornament tells a story and I love that!
22. Favorite food for Christmas dinner? My mom's dressing, corn casserole.
23. What do you want for Christmas this year? I got a new coat in advance...it was a "need". I would like some new clothes this year too. I'm not really asking for anything special.
24. Who is most likely to respond to this? I think most of my friends and fellow bloggers have already done this...I'm one of the last to reply.
25. Who is least likely to respond to this? I like what Carly and Lindsay said, "I don't like to set up someone to be an under-achiever!" So I will steal their answer!
If you haven't already done this, it's your turn! Merry Christmas!
