Christmas meme
I received this via email, and noticed Sunshine posted the same thing in her blog.
1. Wrapping paper or gift bags?
Unless it's an odd-shaped item, wrapping paper. It's more fun to wrap and to open!
2. Real tree or Artificial?
Artificial. We're had the same tree since 2001 and I don't plan to replace it. It's so cost-effective (I'll have to compose a post about having a frugal Xmas sometime)
3. When do you put up the tree?
usually during the thanksgiving holiday. This year we waited a week longer and the outside decor is not even up yet. It's been raining....
4. When do you take the tree down?
On or after January 6th (Three Kings Day). You're not supposed to take it down before that.
5. Do you like eggnog?
You mean UGHnog? No.
6. Favorite gift received as a child?
Barbie stuff hehehe
7. Hardest person to buy for?
My husband, and it ends up being the same gift every year: a shirt and a pair of pants.
8. Do you have a nativity scene?
Yes. Not only it's beautiful, it was on clearance for $7 or so...
9. Mail or email Christmas cards?
Mail
10. Worst Christmas gift you ever received?
I don't recall getting anything bad for Xmas
11. Favorite Christmas Movie?
It's a Wonderful Life!
12. Have you ever recycled a Christmas present?
Not that I remember.
13. Favorite thing to eat at Christmas?
Turkey
14. Lights on the tree?
Love seeing them. This year our old lights died and I bought colorful ones (a hit with the kids)
15. Favorite Christmas song?
Oh Holy Night
16. Travel at Christmas or stay home?
Stay home, although in 2000 we spent it at DisneyWorld and it was just too awesome for words.
17. Can you name all of Santa's reindeer?
No, I cannot, in fact I didn't know the reindeer had names (other than Rudolph) until I moved to the US.
18. Angel on the tree top or a star?
Star
19. Open the presents Christmas Eve or Christmas day?
One on Christmas Eve, the rest on Christmas Day.
20. Most annoying thing about this time of the year?
97.1 Wash-FM playing Xmas songs all day long, and starting a week before Thanksgiving. Ugh! It's my favorite station, but I olny tune back in on Dec 26th (not mentioning they do it one day in July as well, they call it "Xmas in July"). Double Ugh!
21. Favorite ornament theme or color?
I like the Hallmark stuff, that I buy 50-75% off after Christmas (once again, frugal Xmas)
22. What do you want for Christmas this year?
I am going to be a material girl and say I want the end of the financial crisis, I want me to win the lottery so I can quit my job, built a hurricane-proof house in Florida where I can sit on my behind all day and do nothing.
And, just to illustrate, a picture I took of the Capitol a couple opf years ago while the white poop was falling. You can see the tree in front of it.
