1. Wrapping paper or gift bags? Wrapping paper because bags make peeking easier but bags make wrapping easier.
2. Real tree or artificial? I love the smell of the real ones, but a fake one is more practical with kids and fires and they last way longer. I have been hanging real wreaths for the smell.
3. When do you put up the tree? FHE after Thanksgiving.
4. When do you take your tree down? A few days after Christmas (2 years ago it was after New Year's because I was still in CA and our fake tree was set up in Texas).
5. Do you like eggnog? NO! I drink chocolate milk instead of plain milk.
6. Favorite gift received as a child? That's tough. Bike probably but really I don't remember stuff like that. I remember more about what people were there- like the one Christmas with Robin (family- y'all know who I am referring to).
7. Do you have a nativity scene? I am waiting for my Little People one to come- I ordered it Friday (it was finally on sale).
8. Hardest person to buy for? From my family, Jill because she buys whatever she wants/needs but this year she is moving out so that would make her the easiest and Mike because he doesn't really say he wants anything (except for a truck but I can't buy that- so glad I don't have him this year!).
9. Easiest person to buy for? The boys- Big A wants everything, even if he already has it.
10. Worst Christmas gift you ever got? I can't think of one.
11. Mail or email Christmas cards? Mail, Grandmas and Grandpas need the snail mail and really I enjoy getting snail mail too but I LOVE good emails.
12. Favorite Christmas Movie? Elf, of course.
13. When do you start shopping for Christmas? After Christmas. We know who we have from my family because we are on a rotating schedule. I am constantly thinking about what to get the person/family I have.
14. Have you ever recycled a Christmas present? No.
15. Favorite thing to eat at Christmas? Christmas Eve Mexican Fiesta and Mom's sweet rolls and Bryan's Dad's homemade candy (I can't remember if he is still making that though).
16. Clear lights or colored on the tree? Both but we do colored on tree, clear outside. And I can't remember what our tree has on it so maybe it is different than what I put.
17. Favorite Christmas song? I LOVE most Christmas songs but if I had to pick one I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day and Picture A Stable (from the Primary songbook).
18. Travel at Christmas or stay home? I love Christmas with family but I can understand why people start having their own traditions- very stressful to travel (and shop), keep things hidden from a very smart 3yo with a fabulous memory.
19. Can you name all of Santa's reindeer? Maybe
20. Angel on the tree top or a star? Either.
21. Open the presents Christmas Eve or morning? Morning. We opened jammies one year (Em- the red and white flannel ones and got slipper socks) and we opened those Christmas Eve but Christmas morning is present time.
22. Most annoying thing about this time of year? Commericalism.
Merry Christmas Everyone!!!!!

What a fun little quiz...I love Christmas time and I love hearing what other people do for the holidays!!
Elf is also our favorite Christmas movie. Brett and I watch it every Christmas Eve, as our tradition.
" What's your favorite color" as you pick up the phone is the best line EVER!!!!! We should all start doing that. (I tend to quote movies all the time, bad habit)
Elf! That's on my list, too.
And of course I remember the Christmas of Robin. No one there will ever forget. Ever.
Great quiz Karin, I will post it to my blog!!
I do NOT like egg nogg but zeb sure does!
It's fun to read all the stuff you put! We have the Cristmas Eve Jammies tradition as well. I LOVE it. And the girls wear their Christmas jammies all year! :)
