Christmas Survey

I got this survey from Aunt Dixie and though I emailed it, I also thought I would post it. I would love to see everyone elses answers, too, on their blogs or an email.

1. Wrapping paper or gift bags? Wrapping paper
2. Real tree or Artificial? Artificial - though this is only the 2nd year for it.
3. When do you put up the tree? Three days ago, but that's only because we have an artificial tree. With a real one, not until sometime the first week in December because I am really bad about keeping it watered.
4. When do you take the tree down? Usually New Year's Day
5. Do you like egg nog? YES!
6. Favorite gift received as a child? I really have no idea.
7. Do you have a nativity scene? Yes
8. Hardest person/s to buy for? Ty
9. Easiest person to buy for? Finn, because she likes and wants everything!
10. Mail or email Christmas cards? Unfortunately neither. I am not organized enough to send Christmas cards.
11. Worst Christmas gift you ever received? I wouldn't say worst, but most unusual and funny. The Christmas after the twins were born, Ty gave me 2 cushioned toilet seats because when I was pregnant with the twins, one day when I sat on the toilet seat.....it broke! I can't believe I am telling everyone this!
12. Favorite Christmas movie? A Christmas Story
13. When do you start shopping for Christmas? 2-3 weeks before Christmas.....aye yi yi!!!
14. Have you ever recycled a Christmas present? No
15. Favorite thing to eat at Christmas? Fudge
16. Clear lights or colored on the tree? Colored are my favorite, but since we have the artificial tree it came with clear lights.
17. Favorite Christmas song? Do You Hear What I Hear
18. Travel at Christmas or stay home? Stay home
19. Can you name all of Santa's reindeers? Yes
20. Angel on the tree top or a star? A Star
21. Open the presents Christmas Eve or morning? Christmas morning, but a tradition we have just as when I was growing up, the kids get to open their new Christmas jammies on Christmas Eve.
22 . Most annoying thing about this time of year? People ignoring/not realizing the real reason we celebrate Christmas.
23. Favorite ornament theme or color? Santas
24. Favorite for Christmas dinner? Well, depending on when we get together with my family, Christmas Eve or Christmas night, we usually have deli sandwiches. Everyone likes it and it's easy.
25. What do you want for Christmas this year? An MP3 player
26. What do you like most about Christmas? Everything!
