Mostly paper, but depending on what it is, I will use a bag now and again. Wrapping paper is just more fun!
2. Real tree or Artificial?
I'm a fake girl... real trees are messy, the cat would destroy it, and dh is probably allergic to it. Not to mention, I loathe the smell.
3. When do you put up the tree?
The day after Thanksgiving, I'm itching to do it now!
4. When do you take the tree down?
Usually between Christmas and New Years, whenever I get sick of it.
5. Do you like eggnog?
I do... its SO bad for you, though. I like the Vanilla egg nog. YUM!
6. Favorite gift received as a child?
A play typewriter. Maybe that's why I like typing so much now?
7. Hardest person to buy for?
My father in law...
8. Easiest person to buy for?
My parents... LOL
9. Do you have a nativity scene?
Yeah, I have like five or six of them. My favorite is a porcelain one that my friend Roberta made for me. It sits in my curio cabinet all year long. It's gorgeous!
10. Mail or email Christmas cards?
11. Worst Christmas gift you ever received?
We've received some odd things we never used from my sister in law, but nothing that I would say is the worst gift ever.
12. Favorite Christmas Movie?
Christmas Vacation, A Christmas Story, Charlie Brown (not a movie, I know), and Miracle on 24th street.
13. When do you start shopping for Christmas?
Probably next week or so... though we do have a couple odds and ends.
14. Have you ever recycled a Christmas present?
Nope
15. Favorite thing to eat at Christmas?
Caramels! They are heavenly!!!
16. Lights on the tree?
Yep, I always do white. Every year I threaten to change it up, but I always end up using the white ones.
17. Favorite Christmas song?
I have like 60 of them... how about I narrow it down by saying anything by Garth Brooks, Collin Raye, Josh Groban, Harry Connick Jr. and Brett Raymond. Those are my favorite CD's!
18. Travel at Christmas or stay home?
All the family lives here, so travel for us is to walk next door.
19. Can you name all of Santa's reindeer's?
Yep. Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donder, Blitzen, RUDOLPH!!!
20. Angel on the tree top or a star?
I have a star... I want a new one, though.
21. Open the presents Christmas Eve or morning?
On Christmas eve we go to my inlaws and open the presents from grandparents, inlaws, and dh's sister and family. It's chaos!
22. Most annoying thing about this time of the year?
Traffic!
23. Favorite ornament theme or color?
I'm a blue and silver girl... red and gold just doesn't do it for me. This year, I bought copper and green balls, though, and I might just have the most eclectic tree ever! We'll see how it goes!
24. Favorite for Christmas dinner?
We have the same thing for Christmas dinner every year... ham and baked potatoes. I'm not a ham girl, though... so I guess my favorite would be the pumpkin pie and caramels!
25. What do you want for Christmas this year?
My sister in law wants to know the same thing... and truth be told, I haven't a clue. World peace? Actually, I want a new vacuum (which won't happen) and an external hard drive for my laptop (which will happen). I don't know what to tell my SIL, though. She offered to buy me a new version of photoshop... of coarse, she has NO idea how much they are. LOL

I put up a real tree, but this year, I'm thinking this baby is going to drive me to get a fake one. Or at least maybe a Charlie Brown tree and put it on a table.
Everything comes down on "boxing day". This is when I play into my European heritage.
Yeah, you bought the green and copper ones. I bet it will be beautiful. I must come see it.
Cute background! CUTE!
I'm an artificial tree girl, too. High five!
