The Almost-Daily Meme
Taken from meme_lj
1. Wrapping paper or gift bags? I find wrapping paper is more convenient to pack and take to other people, but gift bags are more easily reused...tough call
2. Real tree or artificial? Real! It wouldn't be Christmas without my parents swearing at the hoover for not vacuuming up all the pine needles ^_^
3. When do you put up the tree? Just over a week before Christmas
4. When do you take the tree down? New Year's Day
5. Do you like eggnog? I've never had any
6. Favourite gift received as a child? Bart Simpson socks - I still have them, heehee ^_^
7. Hardest person to buy for? My Dad! Even when you ask him what he wants he just shrugs and says he doesn't mind.
8. Easiest person to buy for? Helen, ever since I discovered The Japanese Shop
9. Do you have a Nativity Scene? Yeah, my Dad built it :)
10. Mail or email christmas cards? This year I mailed them all, but I usually just send e-cards to people outside the UK.
11. Worst Christmas gift you ever received? My Nan got me this godawful pink top-and-skirt combo with black hems that looked like it should belong to a 75-year-old
12. Favourite Christmas Movie? Ooooh, tough one! Olive the Other Reindeer is awesome, Elf I also like, and Home Alone 4
13. When do you start shopping for Christmas? Depends. If I see something that I think someone will like, I get it for them for Christmas. Doesn't matter if it's January or December 23rd. This year I got all mine done in the first week of December.
14. Have you ever recycled a Christmas present? I always take old clothes to Oxfam, so there was probably some Christmas clothes in there at some point.
15. Favourite thing to eat at Christmas? Quality Street/Celebrations/Miniature Heroes/any bitesize chocolate ^_^
16. Lights on the tree? We just have normal white ones. I'd like some that twinkle, though
17. Favourite Christmas song? At the moment, Why Couldn't it be Christmas Every Day by Bianca Ryan. I also love Fairytale of New York and All I Want For Christmas is You
18. Travel at Christmas or stay home? Stay home
19. Can you name all of Santa's reindeer's? Not all of them, I usually forget 2 or 3 of them
20. Angel on the tree top or a star? We have an angel
21. Open presents on Christmas Eve or morning? Christmas morning - what's the point in opening them on Christmas Eve...?
22. Most annoying thing about this time of the year? Getting the presents to all my friends in time
23. Favorite ornament theme or colour? We have a Tudor theme on ours...don't ask. I'd just like to have a simple tree with red and gold decroations, instead of fecking great Henry VIII's everywhere.
24. Favourite for Christmas dinner? I just have a roast dinner, but without any meat
25. What do you want for Christmas this year? I don't really mind.
26. Who is most likely to respond to this? Umm...I don't know
27. Do you go to A Christmas worship on the Eve, at Midnight, on the Day or not at all? Not at all
28. What's your favourite Christmas memory? Sitting at the table with my parents and a few friends, having dinner, pulling crackers and learning how to make that whistling sound when you rub your finger around the rim of a wine glass
29. What kind of outside lights to you put up? Invisible ones
30. Do you believe in Santa Claus? I believe in the spirit of Santa Claus ^_^ (Well, I'd sound like a right Scrooge if I ended this meme with an abrupt 'no'...)
Merry 6 days until Christmas! <3
