CHRISTMAS FUN


I found this on two sites I frequent: Camy Tang and Cheryl Wyatt. They are two great writers, so if you want to get to know them better, click on their names and check their sites out. They have really great blogs.

Anyway, I got a kick out of their posts and thought I’d spread it around. It’s fun. If you do it too, let me know, so I can come visit your site and learn more about you.

1. Wrapping paper or gift bags? Wrapping paper.

2. Real tree or Artificial? Fake. I hate the pine needles that you find in your carpet seven months after Christmas.

3. When do you put up the tree? Thanksgiving Day weekend.

4. When do you take the tree down? Christmas weekend.

5. Do you like eggnog? Oh yeah! It’s not Christmas without eggnog

6. Favorite gift received as a child? Gosh, I can’t remember. When I was 16 I got an art table (I used to draw)..that was way cool!

7. Hardest person to buy for? My hubby. We don’t do gifts for the rest of the famly. Just the little ones (nephews/nieces)

8. Do you have a nativity scene? Yep

9. Mail or email Christmas cards? Email. I’d like to say it’s because I was going green, but it’s just because I’m a bit lazy.

10. Worst Christmas gift you ever received? I can’t think of one at the moment.

11. Favorite Christmas Movie? ELF!!! OMG, that movie rules. It keeps me laughing long after it’s over. Especially the BURP part…”Did you hear that?”

12. When do you start shopping for Christmas? I usually only buy my sweet hubby a present or two…and it’s a weekend or two before Christmas.

18. Angel on the tree top or a star? Neither. We have a red bow.

19. Open the presents Christmas eve or Christmas day? Growing up it was open them ALL on Christmas EVE, then Santa’s stockings on Christmas Day. Now it’s one Christmas Eve and the rest Christmas Day.

20. Most annoying thing about this time of the year? It starts WAY TOO EARLY! I mean, really, Christmas in October now? Gimme a break.

    Okay, I’ll play since I heard of this via Travis…

    1. Wrapping paper or gift bags? I hate wrapping, although I love unwrapping.

    2. Real tree or Artificial? Artificial for me as well. I hate the pine needles and I love that I only pay for a tree once that last for year, prelit at that. ๐Ÿ™‚

    3. When do you put up the tree? Depends. Sometimes, too early, often times too late….

    4. When do you take the tree down? 90% of the time New Years Day.

    5. Do you like eggnog? On occasion. It’s a little too ‘rich’ for me, but I do enjoy it from time to time.

    6. Favorite gift received as a child? Hmmmm, don’t know….maybe Baby Alive? Or a Big Wheel? (Yes, I’m a girl, but I loved those things.)

    7. Hardest person to buy for? Husband (He’s very particular about with his taste.) Sister…she’s doesn’t ever drop hints on what she wants so I have to figure it out on my own.

    8. Do you have a nativity scene? I did, but unfortunately it was so delicate it broke.

    9. Mail or email Christmas cards? Email…oh no, too impersonable, unless you double it with a card you snail mailed too. Regular (snail mail) proves you put more thought and time into it.

    10. Worst Christmas gift you ever received? Probably not getting one at all from my husband. ;-(

    11. Favorite Christmas Movie? ‘A Christmas Story’ Hands down.

    12. When do you start shopping for Christmas? Every year is different. Last year I was way behind schedule, this year I was way ahead of everyone else.

    13. Have you ever recycled a Christmas present? I hate to admit it but I have. Haven’t we all? But I was careful about who it was recycled to.

    14. Favorite thing to eat at Christmas? Snack foods; chips and dip, deviled eggs, turkey, pecan pie, fruit trays, cookies,….you name it.

    15. Lights on the tree? Naturally. My husband prefers white but I enjoy color.

    16. Favorite Christmas song? Mary Did You Know! **I have to agree with this song…I enjoy it too ‘Mary did you know!’

    17. Can you name all of Santaโ€™s reindeers? I have a Kindergartner so of course: There’s Dasher and Dancer, Prancer and Vixen, Comet and Cupid and Doner and Vixen, but do you recalllllll, the most famous reindeer of all….Rodulf. Is that right??? Yikes, may have missed one.

    18. Angel on the tree top or a star? Angel

    19. Open the presents Christmas eve or Christmas day? Christmas Eve at the In-Law, Christmas Day with our own intimate, immediate family.

    20. Most annoying thing about this time of the year? Not knowing what to buy some family members but instead playing the guessing game.

    21. Favorite ornament theme or color? Shinny, or glitter, but mostly personalized ornaments.

    22. Favorite for Christmas dinner? Mashed potatoes, Green Bean Casserole, Salad, Rolls…

    23. What do you want for Christmas this year? Besides to please the Lord; I’d like to capture great photos (as it’s my favorite past time, of my kids/family)
