Jannette tagged me, so here goes...
Okay, here's what you're supposed to do, and try not to be a SCROOGE ! Just copy this entire post and then replace my answers with yours!
'Tis the Season to be NICE !
1. Wrapping paper or gift bags?
I like both, depending on the gift, how much time I have, and what's available.
2. Real tree or artificial?
We've had artificial for years because of living in apartments and not having a choice, so it didn't even dawn in me to get a real one this year. Maybe next...
3. When do you put up the tree?
Whenever we get around to it...haven't put one up in years (when you don't have kids, you can get away with that), so we don't really have any set traditions with that yet. I'd like to someday, though!
4. When do you take the tree down?
Haha...funny you should ask ;) The reason we stopped putting up a tree years ago is because we are both VERY lazy and one year the tree didn't come down until March or April...pathetic, I know lol
5. Do you like eggnog?
Freakin' love it, but the diet this year will probably keep me away from it for the most part lol
6. Favorite gift received as a child?
Probably my red two-wheeler w/ the sparkly banana seat.
7. Do you have a nativity scene?
Nope.
8. Hardest person to buy for?
Both of our dad's...men are just tough I think.
9. Easiest person to buy for?
Both of our mom's...they have lots of collections so it makes it easy breezy : )
10. Worst Christmas gift you ever received?
I think my mom would like me to say the little bag of coal that "santa" left me one year, but to my parents' dismay, I loved it! I can't think of a bad gift right now, so I guess that's good, right?
11. Mail or email Christmas cards?
Mail, but again...haven't really done that in years. Probably not doing it this year, either...time and money constraints lol
12 . Favorite Christmas movie?
A Christmas Story and National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. Oh yeah, and Home Alone!
13. When do you start shopping for Christmas?
Usually sometime in December...sorry, Jannett...I'm one of the last-minute offenders lol I also pick up stuff throughout the year if I see something good.
14. Have you ever recycled a Christmas present?
Um...I plead the fifth.
15. Favorite thing to eat at Christmas?
Cookies! Any of the festive stuff that I don't usually get during the rest of the year.
16. Clear lights or colored on the tree?
This is a tough one...back in the day we used to put up an all black tree w/ purple lights and purple decorations (I know...we're weird lol). However, a few years ago I bought a small silver tree w/ fiber optic lighting and that's the one I'm putting up this year, so I guess that counts as colored.
17. Favorite Christmas song?
You're a mean one, Mr. Grinch ;) (Are you getting the picture that Christmas hasn't always been the most wonderful time of the year for me? I'm not a total scrooge, but I do use "Bah Humbug" more frequently than some.)
18. Travel for Christmas or stay home?
Stay home, but we do travel 45 minutes to see my family on xmas eve...does that count?
19. Can you name all of Santa's' reindeer?
You know Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen, Comet and Cupid and Donner and Blitzen...but do you recall The most famous Reindeer of all...Rudolph : ) Are those right?
20. Angel on the treetop or star?
Sometimes an angel...sometimes a star.
21. Open the presents Christmas Eve or morning?
DH and I usually open ours on xmas eve after we get home from opening gifts w/ my family and then we open with his family on xmas day.
22. Most annoying thing about this time of year?
Definitely the snow...I'm not a fan.
23. What I love most about Christmas?
Spending time with family and friends and giving gifts (handmade or bought) to the people I love.
24. What's your favorite Christmas Memory?
Waking up super-early to sit and stare at the tree until we were allowed to wake our parents to dig in to the presents!
25. Believe or Not?
Hmm...I believe in lots of things! : )
Now, I think that I will Tag anyone who would like to tell us all about you and Christmas!
Thanks, Jannett...that was fun! Happy Holidays, all!

Your silver tree reminds me of the silver tree I had as a kid...way before fiber optics. It had a rotating light wheel. I always dreamed of a real tree after that one :)
I love this meme. I hope you don't mind that I'm going to "tag" myself on this one!
I tagged myself too.
I LOVE that you were given a bag of coal. Haha!
