Tag

So I've been tagged to take part in this cute little quiz so hope you enjoy. I'll tag a few of my friends at the bottom. Have a great day!

1. Wrapping paper or gift bags? Definitely wrapping paper whenever possible. I love wrapping gifts, putting bows on it and using lots of scotch tape to make it really hard for people to get at their gifts LOL

2. Real tree or Artificial? I prefer a real tree, but we've been using an artificial one the last two years.

3. When do you put up the tree? Lately we've been doing it either the day after Thanksgiving or the 1st weekend in December.

4. When do you take the tree down? Usually the first weekend in January.

5. Do you like eggnog? No I do not, but my husband loves it.

6. Favorite gift received as a child? The year my parents surprised us with an Atari 5200.

7. Hardest person to buy for? Hmmm.. I don't have a person that's hard to buy for... I come with gift ideas pretty easily. I would say maybe this year it's Oma Nettie because she is not in good health, is living with my aunt and uncle and I am a little stuck on what to get her.

8. Easiest person to buy for? Christopher --- what doesn't a 4 year old want. He'd love anything.

9. Do You have a nativity scene? Yes...I have 3. One I had when I was single; one Steve got from his brother; and Christopher's VeggieTales Nativity set... it's very cute and he loves putting it together and taking it apart and putting it together, etc.

10.Mail or email Christmas cards? Mail... but we're not sending nearly as many cards as in years past.

11. Worst Christmas gift you ever received? I can't think of anything

12. Favorite Christmas Movie? A Charlie Brown Christmas

13. When do you start shopping for Christmas? September/October... I'm not kidding and I'm usually 90 % done by Thanksgiving.

14. Have you ever recycled a Christmas present? Not yet !

15. Favorite thing to eat at Christmas? My mom's or Aunt Lou's rouladen with my mom's cream puffs for dessert. Haven't had them in a while and miss it each year.

16. Lights on the tree? Yes and lots of them.

17. Favorite Christmas song? He is Here and Breath of Heaven.

18.Travel at Christmas or stay home? Both! I love having Christmas at home, but last year and this year we will be traveling. Next year we should be home.

19. Open the presents Christmas Eve or morning? We've always opened gifts on Christmas Eve...especially with Christopher's birthday on Dec 26th, it's better for him to open gifts Christmas Eve.. have a day to play with it, then to get hit with more presents on his birthday.

20. Person you think will not do this? Maybe Michelle -- she's a busy gal.

Ok.. I'm going to tag Michelle and Natalie
