Christmas Survey stolen from Michelle
1. Wrapping paper or gift bags?
Wrapping gifts. I have a mild mania for making them beautiful. Mom raised me that way. Big, gorgeous bows made from ribbon as wide as my hand on top of elegant wrapping paper.
2. Real tree or artificial?
Real. It's not Christmas unless the tree is real.
3. When do you put up the tree?
Either right after or right before Thanksgiving.
4. When do you take the tree down?
New Year's.
5. Do you like eggnog?
Never tried it.
6. Favorite gifts received as a child?
Probably my Barbie Corvette. Or the Nintento 64.
7. Hardest person to buy for?
Leslie. Hard to buy for someone who has it all!
8. Easiest person to buy for?
No one is really easy to buy for. I tend to put far too much effort into gifts sometimes.
9. Do you have a nativity scene?
I personally don't, seeing as it's a Pagan holiday.
10. Mail or email Christmas cards?
mail, please.
11. Worst Christmas gift you ever received?
Uhm...not sure if I've ever gotten a horrible one. Sometimes mom sends me for a loop with what she buys but it's always heart felt and I know she was thinking of me and that is enough.
12. Favorite Christmas Movie?
How the Grinch Stole Christmas
13. When do you start shopping for Christmas?

22. Most annoying thing about this time of the year?
Sooooo many people out. I love the decorations and the music and the togetherness. I love shopping for people and all that.

Turkey!

Murphy to get shots and a bike.
