Christmas

This is very delayed but like Jess I wanted to change my top post because I found out it is "inappropriate to cry at work." So, I'm going to do this tag that Mrs. Danielle sent me.

1. Wrapping paper or gift bags? I love Christmas and I love watching people unwrap presents just because you can see they're anticipation, but sometimes there are times for gift bags when there is ZERO time.
2. Real tree or artificial tree? I'm torn. I LOVE decorating fake trees because you can bend the branches, but I love the smell of a real tree. (Although we have never actually had a real Christmas tree...)
3. When do you put up your tree? Psh, when ever our house if finished enough to decorate and we actually want to celebrate. (about once every five years). When we DO put it up, its about the beginning of December
4. When do you take the tree down? Usually after Christmas.. I don't really remember.
5. Do you like eggnog? Never tried the stuff, but I don't want to, drinking eggs is what body builders do...
6. Favorite gift received as a child? I once got a Barbie Jeep and I loved it. And once I got a little bag of goodies from my great grandma Stubbs, and she was so near the end of her life that even at ten I was really grateful that she even thought of her great grand kids at the time.
7. Hardest person to buy for? My parents!! Agh...
8. SAY EIGHT!! SAY EIGHT!!! haha I'm pretty funny I think
9. Do you have a nativity scene? Sure don't! my mom does...
10. Mail or e-mail Christmas cards? I don't like braggy brag cards, so I don't like them much unless they have pictures.. I can't read anything with out pictures, jk... (I have never received an email card, except at work, and I just delete them)
11. Favorite Christmas movie? Top three are (in this order) Elf, Christmas Vacation, Christmas Story.
12. When do you start shopping for Christmas? It varies, usually in November because I hate being places where there are crowds of people and now room to breath without breathing "already breathed air."
13. Have you ever recycled a Christmas present? I don't think so...
14. Favorite thing to eat at Christmas? I dunno junk food! I pretty much eat as much as possible!
15. Lights on the tree? I didn't realize that was even an option.. its just mandatory.
16. Favorite Christmas song? I like a lot of them.
17. Travel at Christmas or stay home? home, but then to utah county
18. Can you name all of Santa's reindeer? um... i don't think so. I tried singing the song and it just didn't work out for me.
19. Angel on the tree top or a star? On mine this year I a configuration of twigs and sparkly sticks and things.. to answer the question: headdress style.
20. Do you open presents Christmas Eve or Christmas Day? we used to open our pj's on Christmas eve, and then everything else on Christmas day, but then we stopped celebrating Christmas and we stopped getting pj's. Now we open a puzzle.
21. The most annoying thing about this time of year? Grumps!!!
22. Favorite ornament theme and color? I got to decorate our tree for the first time in a long time, and it was gold and bronze and I LOVED IT!!!
23. Favorite for Christmas dinner? Thanksgiving re-do but with Ham...
24. What do you want for Christmas this year? Ca$h Baby
25. Favorite Christmas tradition? well our only Christmas tradition is doing a puzzle Christmas eve while we watch Christmas movies then, we go to my moms side and watch all the pandemonium
