I saw this on a couple of the blogs I was reading today and got the questions from baa baa blacksheep. Thought I'd do it too, and I added a question at the bottom. Makes you reflect a little bit about the whole Christmas Season.
My Christmas Meme
1. Wrapping paper or gift bags?
Wrapping Paper, but occasionally I will recycle my gift bags.
2. Real tree or Artificial?
Artificial. But it’s really cool! It has these gold-tipped branches that eliminate the need to garland or tinsel it up.
3. When do you put up the tree?
First weekend of December.
4. When do you take the tree down?
Around Epiphany (January).
5. Do you like eggnog?
Yes. But it has to be in a glass glass and have a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg on top.
6. Favorite gift received as a child.
Probably my bike.
7. Hardest people to buy for?
My in-laws.
8. Easiest person to buy for?
Myself. I always get myself something to me from me (and not always yarn).
9. Do you have a nativity scene?
Yes. The complete version. And the kids have a one that they’ve had for a few years that they can’t break.
10. Mail or email Christmas cards?
Mail.
11. Worst Christmas gift you ever received?
I don’t know.
12. Favorite Christmas Movie?
I have several: White Christmas; The Bishop’s Wife (the original version); Christmas in Connecticut.
13. When do you start shopping for Christmas?
I try to start before Thanksgiving, but it never happens.
14. Have you ever recycled a Christmas present?
No. But my hubby has taken one back from his brother.
15. Favorite thing to eat at Christmas?
The cookies we make.
16. Lights on the tree?
Yes. This year they’re all white with one lone strand of flicker bulbs.
17. Favorite Christmas song?
There’s No Place Like Home for the Holidays by Perry Como is probably my all time favorite. But I like all the traditional hymns, too.
18. Travel at Christmas or stay home?
We stay at home. My parents and my in-laws come here for presents on Christmas Day and for dinner.
19. Can you name all of Santa's reindeer?
Yes. If I sing the song in my head while naming them!
20. Angel on the tree top or a star?
We have a star.
21. Open the presents Christmas Eve or morning?
When I was a kid we were allowed one present on Christmas Eve, but the rest on Christmas Day.
22. Most annoying thing about this time of the year?
How people try to ignore why we celebrate Christmas.
23. Favorite ornament theme or color?
We usually just put up the classics – the reflective balls in varying colors, and then the ornament that myself and my hubby had as kids and the ones our kids have made over the years.
24. Favorite for Christmas dinner?
We do the traditional Italian dinner. Antipasto and then lasagna.
25. Favorite TV Christmas special?
A Charlie Brown Christmas.

i want to see this gold tipped tree. very interesting idea!
That's what everybody says! It's a 'vintage' tree (it's at least 18 years old)! It was passed down from my hubby's parents when they "downsized"!
