Lindsay tagged me this time! The is the Christmas survey I guess. Watch out cuz here I go!
1. do you like wrapping paper or gift bags? I do like wrapping paper better but, I have used bags as an easy alternative.
2. Real tree or Artificial? Artificial, but ideally I would like a real one when the kids are grown.
3. When do you put up the tree? Well it's always up by Thanksgiving and this year is was up on Liam's birthday (nov. 10th). Yeah, shut up, it's NOT too early!
4. When do you take the tree down? about a week or so after new years.
5. Do you like eggnog? I look forward to egg nog the whole year long! It's one of my Christmas highlights. I mix mine with half milk though and my dad used to mix his with half sprite. It's great either way. I have tried it with half rum as well and that is a doozy! Not recommended...
6. Favorite gift received as a child? There were so many! One year my dad got me this generic barbie doll that I loved better than my brand name barbies. I wish I still had it. Even if it was naked and missing a leg....and her hair was like stuck straight up and it was kinda reddish...okay it was a weird little doll and I loved it.
7. Hardest person to buy for? Jeremy's dad. Never encountered anything like it...seriously, there is nothing we can even remotely think of. Every year. :)
8. Easiest person to buy for? Cedric Vaughn Kelley. We could wrap up a stick and he would love it! I might do that this year to see if it actually pans out!!
9. Do you have a nativity scene? No, I need to get a new one. I mean yes we had one but not yet this year.
10. Mail or email Christmas cards? cards. But whether or not I actually mail them is the real question.
11. Worst Christmas gift you ever received? Oh man! I can't say a clear cut favorite on the worst gift. Ummm, one year my mom got me a tweety bird t-shirt though, that some sales girl had assured her that I would love, and I hated it! I couldn't even hide it. Sorry again mom. not your fault though. If any of you have seen pics or were actually there to experience my high school fashion capabilities, you will understand why 1) the tweety bird shirt would NEVER go over and 2) why it wouldn't have mattered anyway!
12. Favorite Christmas Movie? White Christams for sure. But Mr. Krueger's Christmas is a close second.
13. When do you start shopping for Christmas? This year we started this summer. But, the real shopping happens on Black Friday.
14. Have you ever recycled a Christmas present? I think so.
15. Favorite thing to eat at Christmas? egg nog. And custard pie. Ham! Christmas cornflake wreaths.
16. Lights on the tree? Oh yes!
17. Favorite Christmas song? O, Holy Night
18. Travel at Christmas or stay home? A little of both.
19. Can you name all of Santa's reindeer? Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner, Blitzen and the most famous reindeer of all Rudolph. yep, cuz, Linday already had them typed here. I would've known them anyway though.
20. Angel on the tree top or a star? Star
21. Open the presents Christmas Eve or morning? One present the night before(usually the pajammies). REst in the morn.
22. Most annoying thing about this time of the year? Going to 42 Christmases on Jeremy's side. I am starting to get used to it though, after almost 10 years.
23. Favorite ornament theme or color? WEll, I have an ivory, red, and gold theme but we also have all the kids ornaments and everything from when jeremy and I were kids on the tree. So more like the star, graland, bows, florals, and some ornaments are ivory, gold, and red. The rest is multi-colored including the lights. I'll post a pic once I think about it.
24. Favorite for Christmas dinner? Ham and the trimmings. Basically the same as thanksgiving only with ham.
Now I tag, Charlene, Kim, KEvin, Tacy, Jamie, and Joanne

Wow, I just put up my tree today. I do leave mine up until almost Valentine's day, though.
I say you keep giving Jeremy's dad socks every year until he finally caves and just TELLS YOU WHAT TO GET HIM. Or underwear, or pot holders, or anything else you can only have so much of before it becomes weird.
Ha Ha! That's too funny! I'll have to run that past my mother in law!:)
