A tag for Christmas from Andrea.
1. Wrapping paper or gift bags? Wrapping paper, but so often my packages look like they were done by a six-year-old.
2. Tree--Real or Artificial? Growing up, always real. For the last few years, Adam and I had this tiny artificial one because we didn't have room for anything else, but this year we have our first real tree!
3. When do you put Christmas tree up? Early December. This year it was the last day of November.
4. When do you take the tree down? January 1st
5. Like egg nog? Yes, but only a few sips each time before it's too rich for me.
6. Do you have a nativity scene? No. I do want one, though. When I was little, we'd hide Baby Jesus behind the manger, then take him out Christmas morning.
7. Favorite gift received as a child? a keyboard
8. Hardest person to buy for? I don't know. I guess my memory will be refreshed in the next week.
9. Easiest person to buy for? My dad. "Hunting and fishing stuff."
10.Worst Christmas present? ---
11. Mail or email a Christmas Card? Mail, but always just when you think you're not getting one from me.
12. Favorite Christmas movie? "A Christmas Story" and "The Night They Saved Christmas"
13. When do you start shopping for Christmas? I'm one of those last- minute shoppers, for sure.
14. Have you ever recycled a Christmas present? I don't think I have.
15. Favorite food to eat on Christmas? Christmas a.m. breakfast from my parents.
16. Clear or colored tree lights? Clear
17. Favorite Christmas Songs? Ray Conniff, Bing Crosby and "Song for a Winter's Night" by Sarah McLachlan
18. Travel during Christmas or Stay home? Traveling to both families. It's busy, but I feel grateful we're able to do it.
19. Can you name Santa's reindeer? Yep.
20. Angel or Star on Tree top? Star right now, but maybe an angel next year. We just have a cheap plastic star on right now and I think that's all we'll have this year :)
21. Open presents on Christmas Eve or morning? Christmas morning.
