- Wrapping paper or gift bags?
It depends on how much time I’ve got. I’ll usually try to use wrapping paper as much as possible, but I’m not very good at it!
- Real tree or artificial?
We have an artificial tree
I’m not thrilled about it, but our cats would ingest far too many pine needles if we had a real tree.
- When do you put up the tree?
Usually around this time of year. I may work on it today, but we’re having trouble picking the “perfect spot” for it.
- When do you take the tree down?
Usually in January. Whenever we get around to it.
- Do you like eggnog?
Yes! I adore it.
- Favorite gift received as a child?
Getting to share Christmas with Grandma. It didn’t matter what she bought me. Just getting to be with her made everything special.
- Hardest person to buy for?
Dad B, sometimes my husband.
- Easiest person to buy for?
Mom, Mom B.
- Do you have a nativity scene?
No. - Mail or e-mail Christmas cards?
Bob and I always send a goofy e-card to each other, but other than that - mailed.
- Worst Christmas gift you ever received?
I’ve been pretty pleased with just about everything.
- Favorite Christmas movie?
I don’t have one, unless “A Charlie Brown Christmas” counts as a movie! - Favorite thing to eat at Christmas?
Turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes and gravy, egg nog, pumpkin pie, hot chocolate, Hersheys Miniatures. - Lights on the tree?
Of course!
- Favorite Christmas song?
I love all of the songs on your typical Christmas compilation by Dean Martin, Bing Crosby, etc. and I also love Mannheim Steamroller. - Travel at Christmas or stay home?
We drive to our parents’ houses, which aren’t far from our home. That is, of course, after we spend the morning together!
- Can you name all of Santa’s reindeer?
Of course!!
- Angel on the tree top or a star?
We have a star!
- Open the presents Christmas Eve or morning?
So far, we’ve managed to wait until Christmas morning!
- Most annoying thing about this time of the year?
The crazy drivers and shoppers trying to save 2 cents on the annual annoying kid toy, trying to find the “perfect gift” just to find out I can’t afford it.
- Favorite ornament theme or color?
We’re trying to buy an ornament from places we visit. That’s about the only “theme” we have now.
- When do you start shopping for Christmas?
Whenever I get in the mood for it.
- Have you ever ‘recycled’ a Christmas present?
Not yet, no.
- Clear lights or colored on the tree?
Both. - Favorite for Christmas dinner?
Pretty much a duplicate of Thanksgiving!
- Shopping…Mall or online?
I love looking at the mall and store decorations, but I enjoy shopping online as well because I avoid the crowds.
- Do you decorate outside for Christmas or just inside (or at all?)
We decorate outside and inside! Of course, hardly anybody sees it because we’re so far back in our neighborhood, but we do it anyway!
- Favorite Christmas cookie?
Whatever Mom makes
- Do you own Christmassy clothing or jewelry?
Not really. I typically wear a red shirt of some sort. OH! I do have Christmas socks!!
- Do you believe in Santa?
Sure do!
- What do you want for Christmas this year?
Plenty of kicks from Lily.
