Since the Christmas Cards are already sent out......
4. When do you take the tree down? HAHA, the day after Christmas. :)
5. Do you like eggnog? Not really. I can only handle about a sip and I've had enough.
6. Favorite gift received as a child? Oh man, I don't even know. There were so so many. Santa always knew exactly what would make me happy. Santa sometimes left us a "family gift" and one year we got a foosball table. That was a great gift!! But like I said, hard to pick. Every year was a great year!
7. Do you have a nativity scene? I have a small one that I set up on my entertainment center but I'm not putting it up this year because I have NO ROOM in my tiny house. I have stuff piled on the entertainment center already (photography props mostly) and I have no where to put those.
8. Hardest person to buy for? My dad and my in-laws. Thank goodness that we have everyone email out Christmas lists now!!!
9. Easiest person to buy for? Brad, and I love to splurge on him. :)
10. Worst Christmas gift you ever received? I can't remember one really. My parents always made Christmas so special. Though a couple of years ago, Brad had a bad experience. His dad forgot that he had Brad's name and bought something for his brother instead. So his brother got two gifts, Brad got none. His dad felt awful and gave him $ but Brad felt a little forgotten that year.
11. Mail or email Christmas cards? I LOVE sending out Christmas cards!! I always do a 4x8 card with a Christmas picture of the dogs and then a seperate picture of just Brad & I.
12. Favorite Christmas movie? "A Christmas Story."
13. When do you start shopping for Christmas? I am all about shopping on 5AM on Black Friday. Not sure why but it's just become a tradition. I usually go with my younger sister and my mom, then we meet up with a bunch of aunts and cousins throughout the day. I aim to finish my shopping that day but I didn't meet that this year. haha. We always draw names and by the end of Black Friday, I know who 1/2 of the family has. :)
14. Have you ever recycled a Christmas present? No way, I'd be scared someone would find out. That's why we always make Christmas lists. So you get some stuff you want!
15. Favorite thing to eat at Christmas? FOOD!
16. Clear lights or colored on the tree? Colored. We buy the ones that do different things. It about makes you go cross-eyed when you watch them for too long.
17. Favorite Christmas song? O Holy Night. I love playing it on the piano.
18. Travel for Christmas or stay home? We stay close by. Our family lives close by so we never have to drive further than about 15 minutes away from our house!
19. Can you name all of Santa's' reindeer? Sure, if I sing the song. :)
20. Angel on the treetop or a star? Neither, I'm lame!
21. Open the presents Christmas eve or morning? We start with Christmas Eve at my parents house. We trade gifts and open them. Then when Brad & I get home, we open one "small" gift. Then Santa comes and we have our good gifts in the morning. Then we head over to Brad's parents house and do a gift exchange there.
22. Most annoying thing about this time of year? I hate the sale gimmicks. How you think you're getting some great deal and then find out you can only save $5 if you do the mail in rebate and it takes 3 years to get the money. Just stupid stuff like that.
23. What I love most about Christmas? Of course, I love what Christmas truly represents and that people talk more openly about Jesus. I love that people get dressed up and go to church. I love that people generally have a much happier and considerate attitude. I love it all (aside from the cold weather).
I can finally post this picture. This is becoming a Christmas tradition. Always a 4x8 card with a picture of the dogs followed by a picture of Brad & I (4x6). The dogs enjoy it as they get a lot of treats for their cooperation. It's the only way that I can get their ears to stay up. I always get a lot of comments on how I get them to pose so well but I've got to say, I do have some great dogs. And though there are some people that can't understand why I would send out pictures of my dogs, they are a part of the family. And if they can pose better than even Brad and I, why wouldn't I capture a few pics to share??? :)
All ABout Me - Holiday Edition.
Just something I found on another blog and thought I'd do to try getting in the Christmas Spirit!!
1. Wrapping paper or gift bags? Wrapping Paper. I take one Saturday afternoon to wrap up EVERYTHING while watching a Christmas movie.
2. Real tree or artificial? Artificial. I'm scared to death of a real tree getting too dry and starting on fire. :)
3. When do you put up the tree? Usually about a week after Thanksgiving.
