Counting down to Christmas
>> Tuesday, November 30, 2010
Tomorrow starts the countdown to Christmas....this is a repost of a meme I did a couple of years ago and I love reading other peoples answers. So I am reposting my own responses and hope that some of you join in on your own blogs. 25 Days till Christmas.
1. Wrapping Paper or Gift Bags? Both, depends on how close it is to Xmas morning :)
2. Real tree or artificial? Real. The day after Thanksgiving we load up with friends and head to the mountains to cut one down.
3. When do you put up the tree? Usually the weekend after Thanksgiving
4. When do you take down the tree? New Years Day I'm over it so everything comes down.
5. Do you like Egg Nog? Not to drink but I made some cookies last year with an egg nog drizzle that were fabulous.
6. Favorite gift received as a child? My first Walkman when I was 11 or my first cabbage patch doll (total toss up)
7. Do you have a nativity scene? No. We have a huge Christmas village that has been added too over 13 years and it is slowly taking over the house :)

14. Favorite Christmas Song? Do you Hear What I Hear by Bing Crosby. It was the one Xmas CD we listened too religiously at Christmas time when I was growing up.
15. Travel or stay home at Christmas? Stay home. We traveled for every holiday when I was growing up and so now I stay home.
16.Can you name all of Santa’s Reindeer? Yep, but I have to sing Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer in my head to do it.
17. Angel or Star on the top of the tree? Neither, it's a glass tree topper from a local store
18. Open presents Christmas Eve or Morning? The kids can open one on Christmas Eve but everything else happens in the morning.
19. Most annoying thing about this time of year? Seeing Xmas stuff in October
20. Which looks best, theme trees or homey trees? Homey trees, handmade ornaments, stuff from my childhood, definitely homey
21. Gingerbread or Sugar Cookies? I like sugar cookies better and we make a gingerbread house.

how fun! I loved reading your answers...Christmas is just the best time of the year.
I can't believe how close Christmas is. I'm trying not to panic!!
There's nothing that says Christmas like a fresh Christmas tree with homey decorations :)))
Fun meme!
Loved learning these little bits about you.
Funny that you said your kids were the easiest to shop for - my oldest wants archery stuff and the middle guy wants a guitar and lessons, abigail wants a ton of craft supplies that she may or may not go through in just one day - help!
