Early Christmas meme, taken from hnpcc.
1. Wrapping paper or gift bags?
Wrapping paper. We generally buy the new stuff, being irresponsible. Not to mention Laura is going to be destroying most of it.
2. Real tree or artificial?
Artificial; we got sick of trying to pick up all the pine needles. We had a real one in a pot two years in a row but then it died. This year we may have a titchy one on the mantlepiece that Laura can't pull over.
3. When do you put up the tree?
Hopefully, we'll get it done this weekend and have it up all through Advent.
4. When do you take the tree down?
Some time in early-mid Jan. Before Australia Day at least! (kept hnpcc's reply as fitted situation exactly.)
5. Do you like eggnog?
No idea. Offer me some and I'll tell you.
6. Favorite gifts received as a child?
Books.
7. Hardest person to buy for?
Marcus, closely followed by Dad. Mum, although she's a Grinch, is actually easy to buy things for.
8. Easiest person to buy for?
My daughter. :)
9. Do you have a nativity scene?
Yes, it's painted on the side of my largest Christmas tree ornament..
10. Mail or email Christmas cards?
I attempt to mail them...
11. Worst Christmas gift you ever received?
Hairdryer. I never blowdry my hair.
12. Favorite Christmas Movie?
Don't really have one.
13. When do you start shopping for Christmas?
Never as soon as I should.
14. Have you ever recycled a Christmas present?
No. I tend to think that that would be rude.
15. Favorite thing to eat at Christmas?
Vanilla cheesecake with cinnamon crust and berry topping. Yuuuummmm.
16. Lights on the tree?
No...
17. Favorite Christmas song?
Mistletoe & Wine, Cliff Richard.
18. Travel at Christmas or stay home?
Usually some travel involved. This year I think we're off to Dromana.
19. Can you name all of Santa's reindeer?
Rudolf, Prancer, Blitzen, Dasher, Donner, Dancer... clearly I can't.
20. Angel on the tree top or a star?
Angel
21. Open the presents Christmas Eve or morning?
It used to be one present in the morning and the rest after lunch. Now it's all after lunch.
22. Most annoying thing about this time of the year?
Entertainers massacring various Christmas carols and then being played ad nauseum in shopping centres.
23. Favorite ornament theme or color?
Sparkly.
24. Favorite for Christmas dinner?
Roast beef and many veg, followed by cheesecake, preceded by soup.
25. What do you want for Christmas this year?
Clothing vouchers mainly. :(
