Christmas Meme

I found this somewhere in bloggerland. I’ve been to many many craft blogs because of the Sew, Mama, Sew Give-Away Day. 

the rules: “Welcome to the Christmas edition of getting to know your friends. Okay, just copy (not forward) this entire email and paste into a new e-mail that you can send. Change all the answers so that they apply to you. Then send this to a whole bunch of people you know, INCLUDING the person that sent it to you……Tis the Season to be NICE! ”

1. Wrapping paper or gift bags? both. I save everything from year to year.

2. Real tree or Artificial? artificial. this year. if we get a real tree, it’s a frasier fir, which Capt. Jack called the “Cadillac of Christmas Trees.” we quit getting a real tree last year or the year before because i was pretty stressed about everything it entails. we’re in a different life situation currently, so we probably could have hunted for a real one. then again, the cost is crazy.

3. When do you put up the tree? any time. it’s up right now. i am usually a humbug, though, so later rather than earlier. matt got it out this year and made the kids decorate it last weekend. 

4. When do you take the tree down? any time after the new year. i don’t keep track. I am guessing after the twelfth night.

5. Do you like eggnog? yes. half milk, half AE nog.

6. Favorite gift received as a child? I cannot recall anything favorite. I wish I could answer this better.

7. Hardest person to buy for? grandparents

8. Easiest person to buy for? children under the age of 5

 

9. Do you have a nativity scene? yes, a few. the kids have their own, too.

13. When do you start shopping for Christmas? all year round.

18. Travel at Christmas or stay home? we travel in town.

19. Can you name all of Santa’s reindeer’s? yes, but i cannot reveal the answers lest you copy me.

20. Angel on the tree top of tree or a star? depends on the year. sometimes we have a dove or other ornament near the top of the tree because the top branch doesn’t fit the angel or star properly.
