1. Wrapping paper or gift bags?
It all depends on the gift. Some are wrapped, and others are put in bags. It's usually the nice square or rectangle ones are wrapped and all other odd shapes get the gift bags. Size also matters.

2. Real tree or artificial?
We bought an artificial tree last year because I hate vacuuming up the dead pine needles.

3. When do you put up the tree?
It is traditionally done the day after Thanksgiving, but with our house being in the state it is because of the kitchen remodel, we just don't have room for it.

4. When do you take the tree down?
I really don't know. There is no set date like there is for setting up the tree. But it's normally within the first week of January.

5. Do you like eggnog?
I would say no, but I've never actually had any. I don't plan on trying it though, it looks (and sounds) gross.

6. Favorite gift received as a child?
I really couldn't tell you, I really don't remember. It wasn't my sister though, hah! She was born two days after Christmas.

7. Do you have a nativity scene?
Yes.

8. Hardest person to buy for?
Everyone.

9. Easiest person to buy for?
My cat.

10. Worst Christmas gift ever received?
Underwear and a tire gauge.

11. Mail or email Christmas card?
I do both, mainly because I can't pass up cute e-cards and what not.

12. Favorite Christmas Movie?
Those clay Rudolph and Frosty the Snowman movies.

13. When do you start shopping for Christmas?
It's a year long process.

14. Have you ever recycled a Christmas present?
No.

15. Favorite thing to eat at Christmas?
Anything edible.

16. Clear lights or colored on the tree?
Clear/white. I think the colored and the blinking lights all look tacky!

17. Favorite Christmas song?
I don't really have one, but for now I'll go with Silent Night.

18. Travel at Christmas or stay home?
We travel to my MIL's, which is technically like staying home.

19. Can you name Santa's reindeers?
Of course, don't you know the song?

20. Do you have an Angel on top or a star?
It's always an angel, and underneath is a mouse (don't ask).

21. Open the presents Christmas Eve or morning?
Jeremiah grew up opening them all on Christmas Eve, but we've settled and open one (or two) on Christmas Eve and the rest in the morning.

22. Most annoying thing about this time of year?
People who get so frustrated over shopping!

23. Best thing about Christmas?
Everything.
