The forever long christmas tag

1.Wrapping paper or gift bags? For Christmas....wrapping paper.
2. Real tree or artificial? Real, with Devon being in landscaping we will NEVER have a fake tree. It's like forbidden to even mention such "nonsense"
3. When do you put up the tree? Usually the Monday after thanksgiving
.4. When do you take the tree down? When we get back from traveling over the holidays
5. Do you like eggnog? YES
6. Favorite gift received ? I have a few, I remember LOVING when I got Rollerblades. Then one year from Santa I got my first pair of Levi 501's. and last year Devon got me a nice coat...it was more of the surprise of him getting me something that I liked and didn't know about than the actual coat, but I do like the coat too.
7. Do you have a Nativity scene? Yes, even though my son won't stop touching them
8. Hardest person to buy for? It use to be for my dad but now I have it fairly easy. I don't really have anyone that's hard to buy for
.9. Easiest person to buy for? Dito...myself lol, but really, everyone is fairly easy. It's easy to find things that they want and that will make them happy. The trick is planning our finances well enough that I can afford it.
10. Worst Christmas gift you ever received?Um, I'd rather not say....but honestly I'm still a little bitter about it.
11. Mail or e-mail Christmas cards. Mail.
12. Favorite Christmas Movie? Muppet Christmas carol is a family tradition. Other than that I'm not sure what my favorite would be, but Four Christmases - that was funny
13. When do you start shopping for Christmas? If I see something that I know they will like, and it's after their birthday, then I buy it for Christmas. The rest of the stuff I get after thanksgiving
15. Favorite thing to eat at Christmas? I love it all! My favorite are the appetizers though, spinach artichoke dip, shrimp, yummy salty fatty stuff. YUM
16 Clear lights or colored on the tree? So, we do both....is that tacky?
17. Favorite Christmas song? Um, I like "Baby it's Cold Outside", "Green Sleves", and usually anything from Mannheim Steamrollers (I'm sure I am spelling that wrong)
18 Travel at Christmas or stay home? Travel, although last year we stayed home until the day after Christmas and I LOVED it. We will plan on doing that most years from now on (except this year)
19. Can you name all of Santa's reindeer? Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner and Blitzen Rudolph and Olive (LOL.... get it...."all of the other reindeer/ olive the other reindeer...lol oh I crack myself up)
20. Angel on the tree top or a star? Star
21. Open the presents Christmas Eve or morning? Christmas Eve {new PJ's} and the rest on Christmas.
22. Most annoying thing about this time of year? The people ringing the bells for salvation army in front of the stores.....we know they are there, do they really get more people to donate to them if they ring the annoying bells????!!!!
23. Favorite Christmas tradition? Hmmm, at my parent’s house? The Christmas Eve production and I LOVE caroling. In our home we are just starting traditions so I'm not sure yet.
24. Up early or sleeping in? Our kids are small enough that they still sleep in, but I am sure that will change....but we will most likely do it later in the morning even when they are bigger. They will get to open there Santa stuff but nothing else until we eat a big hearty WILSON breakfast. 25. Who hands out the gifts? Dad
26. Does Santa wrap your gifts? Were still debating if "Santa" has time to wrap gifts. We -cough- i mean Santa defiantly wraps the stocking stuffers at our house....but the big gifts are still up for debate.
