Christmas Tag...Getting To Know You
Welcome to the Christmas edition of getting to know your friends.Okay, here's what you're supposed to do, & try not to be a SCROOGE! Copy this entire post & paste onto your own new post!Change all the answers so they apply to you. Then tag a bunch of people you know....Tis the Season to be NICE!

1. Wrapping paper or gift bags? Totally wrapping paper- I love to wrap the minute I have a gift.

2. Real tree or Artificial? Real for now. I eventually want an artificial especially since some ornaments are to heavy for a real one. However, the nice ones are super expensive and not in our budget right now.

3. When do you put up the tree? Whenever we can get a truck to haul one home we do...starting after Thanksgiving.

4. When do you take the tree down? Not until after New Years. I just love christmas decorations and I also hate repacking it all so I totally procrastinate.

5. Do you like Egg Nog? No...the name alone has always turned me off.

6. Favorite gift received as a child? I had so many favorites its hard to say. Barbie stuff definitely comes to mind as that is what Candice and I would go crazy playing with. (until we were like 12 too!)

7. Hardest person to buy for? No one really. I always seem to come up with something. Usually because they will get what I like if I don't know. Zack use to be because we were to poor when we were first married and his taste was to expensive. But not so much anymore.

8. Easiest person to buy for? Natalie. Since it is so easy to buy every toy she doesn't already have, or clothes.

9. Do you have a nativity scene? Yes, we have two this year. They are small and Natalie loves to play with them.

10. Mail or email Christmas cards? Mail , although I never do.


11. Worst Christmas gift you ever received? Cheap bath stuff...I never use it and I hate the smells usually.

12. Favorite Christmas Movie? As a cartoon it would have to be "the grinch that stole christmas" but "The Holiday " would be my non-cartoon fav I think.

13. When do you start shopping for Christmas? Usually by the beginning of November. Before that is hard b/c there are still b-days and other things I am buying for. Once it gets cold I get the itch.

14. Have you ever recycled a Christmas present? Yes, who hasn't. If I didn't like it and I am not going to use it someone should.

15. Favorite thing to eat at Christmas? I love the Monkey bread in the morning at my mother-in-law's, but then its all about the fondue. Fondue and wassail has been our christmas tradition at my moms since I can remember.

16. Lights on the tree? Yes!

17. Favorite Christmas song? It use to be "o holy night" by Josh Groban...but I have to say "God rest ye merry gentlemen" by Barenaked Ladies w/Sarah McLaughlin I think has stolen its place.

18. Travel at Christmas or stay home? Travel this year, actually we usually split at least half of the christmas break between here and Denver.

19. Can you name all of Santa's reindeer? I can thanks to Natalie's books.

20. Angel on the tree top or a star? Nothing right now...but usually its a white/gold Santa.

21. Open the presents Christmas Eve or morning? Christmas morning.

22. Most annoying thing about this time of the year? Busy parking lots.

23. Favorite ornament theme or color? I love trees that have some color scheme and decoration type...the throw everything on look is not for me.

24. Favorite Christmas dinner? Don't really care...I never care about Thanksgiving either...its not my type of food. Although I love homemade rolls.

25. What do you want for Christmas this year? New pair of UGG's and the Wii Fit
