I love a good questionnaire! This one’s for you, RD!

1.Wrapping paper or gift bags? It’s what’s on the inside that counts

2. Real tree or Artificial? It’s real…uh, real pretty! Ours is artificial, which sounds a little nicer than “fake.” But it’s pre-lit which is SO nice.

3. When do you put up the tree? I don’t actually do it, Joe does…the weekend after Thanksgiving, usually.

4. When do you take the tree down? -Whenever we get around to it. I’ve considered leaving it up all year long, like lots of people do with their Christmas lights. I didn’t consider it for long, though.

5. Do you like egg nog? I like to avoid it like the plague.

6. Favorite gift received as a child? I should take a lesson as a parent from myself because I hardly remember anything that I got for Christmas growing up, besides clothes and stocking stuffers. I better remember traditions and just being with family. Sincerely.

7. Do you have a nativity scene? We have one really small, wooden one, plus one on Evan’s stocking. That makes 2. Sort of.

8. Hardest person to buy for? my father-in-law

9. Easiest person to buy for? Evan

10.Mail or email Christmas cards? Mail. Do you need my address?

11.Worst Christmas gift you ever received? Going to the hospital on Christmas Day with a really high fever…I think I had the flu or pneumonia or something else very detrimental to the Christmas spirit.

2. Favorite Christmas Movie? White Christmas, The Christmas Story, Christmas Vacation

13. Have you ever recycled a Christmas present? Maybe, but not that I remember. We do have an ongoing tradition of recycling Christmas bags with Joe’s family. There’s one bag, in particular, that Joe and his dad have traded for the last several years.

14. Favorite thing to eat at Christmas? food! My mom, Joe’s mom, and I each have a special Christmas bread for breakfast, which I might look forward to more than Christmas dinner. I love all of the Christmas cookies, too. Hmm…you would think I like sweets or something!

15. Clear lights or colored on the tree? It depends which one you put on your tree. Our tree came with white lights.

16. Favorite Christmas song? O Holy Night.

17. Travel at Christmas or stay home? This will be our 2nd year to stay home. If we lived closer to family, then we would probably travel…if I wasn’t expecting a baby and all.

18. Can you name all of Santa’s reindeers? (Isn’t it just reindeer)? Sorry to break it to you, but “Santa” isn’t “real”. So his “reindeer” aren’t “either”. But for the record…Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner, Blitzen, & Rudolph! And no, I didn’t google it.

19. Open the presents Christmas Eve or morning? on Christmas morn’

20. Most annoying thing about this time of year? the commercialization of it all

21 Favorite ornament theme or color? breakable ornaments on top, unbreakable on bottom - since Evan came along, anyway

22. Favorite food for Christmas dinner? yes

23. What do you want for Christmas this year? my two front teeth

24. Who is most likely to respond to this? question? ME!

25. Who is least likely to respond to this? complete strangers and people who don’t have internet
