Christmas Tag...as Marisa said...the gift that keeps on giving

1. Wrapping paper or gift bags? Wrapping Paper, what's the fun if there's no bow?...or if all else fails put it in a basket with some candy and stuff.
2. Real tree or Artificial? I love the smell, but hate the mess, so usually artificial.
3. When do you put up the tree? Unless my Husband & I decide to take a last minute trip to Denver to see Michael Franti, the day after Thanksgiving
4. When do you take the tree down? Usually New Years Day or the day after
5. Do you like eggnog? Yes
6. Favorite gift received as a child? A big box...literally. My Dad made a Castle out of boxes that was like 8 feet high. He even added supports and we played in it for months.
7. Hardest person to buy for? Who's name did I draw this year? That's who. :)
8. Easiest person to buy for? Chopper, he just gets excited if you are.
9. Do you have a nativity scene? No, basically just a tree and some snowmen
10. Mail or email Christmas cards? Mail
11.Worst Christmas gift you ever received? a fender...no not really, I actually loved that gift!
12. Favorite Christmas Movie? Miracle on 34th Street...the newer one
13. When do you start shopping for Christmas? All through the year
14. Have you ever recycled a Christmas present? I'm sure, but I can't remember a specific incident
15. Favorite thing to eat at Christmas? I don't know...not really feeling food right now.
16. Lights on the tree? Usually, but not this year...I blew the breaker (not so you can just flip it to fix it) and we have to rewire something...it just sounded too difficult!
17. Favorite Christmas song? Echoing Marisa as she said "Ugh, not a huge fan of Christmas music. I know, that sounds bad, but they are sooo overplayed. I'm sorry but Christmas music the day of Halloween is not cool."
18. Travel at Christmas or stay home? Does running around trying to hit all the families homes count as travel or just crazy?
19. Can you name all of Santa's reindeer's? Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixon, Commet, Cupid, Donner, Blitzen and of course Rudolph
20. Angel on the tree top or a star? Star...but this year we considered a cowboy hat.
21. Open the presents Christmas Eve or morning? Last year we did our presents the night before because the day of was so crazy (see #18.)
22. Most annoying thing about this time of the year? People, people, and people...I swear, once Halloween hits, and especially Thanksgiving, no one can think anymore to drive, park, or shop...the all become idiots on the verge of blowing up at anyone.
23. Favorite ornament theme or color? I haven't had a tree that long, and still haven't forked out the dough to get decent ornaments...so I have marshmallow snowmen and some cute ornaments that Karen handed down.
24. Favorite Christmas dinner? Depends on how many times I'm eating that day...and how many I have been to already.
25. What do you want for Christmas this year? I don't want anything. I have my family!

Ok, tag to Jenn, Jaimie, Amy and Heidi.
