1. Wrapping paper or gift bags?
Are there really gift bag people? I'm all about the wrapping and unwrapping.
2. Real tree or artificial?
I love real trees but I have to be honest in admitting that we have an artificial tree. Something about being afraid of a fire.
3. When do you put up the tree?
Usually about 10 - 14 days before the big day.
4. When do you take the tree down?
I'd love to say New Year's Day but sometimes it's way later.
5. Do you like eggnog?
I do. The light eggnog is still a little rich for me so I mix it with a little milk. But I do love it so.
6. Favorite gift received as a child?
Hmmm. I'd have to say my Hamster, Hammy.
7. Do you have a nativity scene?
No. My sister Julie used to make a different one every year when we were little. My favourite one of hers was made out of toilet paper rolls.
8. Hardest person to buy for?
I don't have a hardest person to buy for.
9. Easiest person to buy for?
My sister Jessa is quite easy to please and I'm grateful.
10. Mail or email Christmas cards?
Mail all the way!
11. Worst Christmas gift you ever received?
An Eaton's pen, from my uncle who worked at Eaton's. I mean, why bother?
12. Favorite Christmas movie?
I think this is one of the hardest questions I have ever been asked. I can't choose just one so here are my picks in random order.
How The Grinch Stole Christmas
A Christmas Story
The Year Without Santa Claus
Charlie Brown Christmas
A Christmas Carol (with George C. Scott)
Home Alone
It's a Wonderful Life
13. When do you start shopping for Christmas?
I start early and then I kind of just stop. And then I'm totally behind and running around a couple of days before Christmas. I don't understand why I do it I just do.
14. Have you ever recycled a Christmas present?
Does a bear shit in the woods?
15. Favorite thing to eat at Christmas?

6 russet potatoes, peeled
1/2 cup milk

16. Clear lights or colored on the tree?
Coloured this year.
17. Favorite Christmas song?
I really can't even answer.
Let's put it this way... there really isn't a Christmas song I don't like.
18. Travel at Christmas or stay home?
Home Home Home
19. Can you name all of Santa's reindeers?
I can indeed.

I wish I could see your sister's nativity scenes made out of toilet paper rolls! I made something out of a toilet paper roll once but I can't exactly remember what it was.
