Christmas Tag

So I am super late on posting this but I just realized that I have been tagged. Better late than never I suppose.
All of you are tagged if you would like to be as late as me!


1. Wrapping paper or gift bags? I like both. Jon only likes wrapping paper, something about it being more personal. I like gift bags because they are easier to wrap and easy to open and you can reuse them.
2. Real or artificial trees? Fake. This comes from living in Texas and not trusting any tree down there to not be so dried out that it will just burst into flames. Plus, I can reuse it. I am starting to see a theme here...
3. When do you put up the tree? The weekend after Thanksgiving or whenever we get around to it.
4. When do you take down the tree? Usually after New Years.
5. Do you like eggnog? Eww Yuck! Totally disgusting! I only like egg nog when you use it to make French Toast on Christmas morning.
6. Favorite gift received as a child? My cardboard/plastic barbie house that had three floors with an elevator!
7. Hardest person to buy for? My mother! She always buys what she wants through out the year so it's hard to find something that she hasn't already bought.
8. Easiest person to buy for? My Grandma - anything angel or red hat and she will love it. Plus it comes from me, duh!
9. Do you have a nativity scene? Yes, quite a few but I only like nativity's that are unique. Like ones that are made out of nails.
10. Mail or email christmas cards? Whatever is easiest. I have now decided that I will be sending out Christmas cards in July. This way they will actually get out! Yeah!
11. Worst Christmas gift you ever received? Hmm...I don't think I have one.
12. Favorite Christmas movie? Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer cartoon movie.
13. When do you start shopping for Christmas? The day after Christmas. I like to have all of my shopping done by the day after Thanksgiving.
14. Have you ever recycled a Christmas present? YES! Okay, so I am guilty! You know you do it!
15. Favorite thing to eat at Christmas? Everything! French Toast Eggnog, Candy, Ham and Potatoes, etc.
16. Lights on the tree? Most definitely and I am especially a fan of white lights. So classic.
17. Favorite Christmas song? Any classic Christmas song.
18. Travel at Christmas or stay home? Well I can officially say that staying home is my favorite. It's just too stressful trying to fit everything in. We will be staying home from now on.
19. Can you name all of Santa's reindeer? On dasher, on donner, on...blah, blah, blah
20. Angel or star at the top of the tree? Definitely a star. There just isn't a pretty angel out there that I am willing to put on my tree. At least I haven't found one. Plus, I like how the star represents the star seen on Christmas day.
21. Open the presents on Christmas Eve or Christmas morning? We open one present that has new Christmas jammies in them and then we enjoy Santa presents in the morning and open the presents under the tree in the afternoon.
22. Most annoying thing about this time of the year? People who wait until the last minute to go shopping and then you can't go anywhere without fear of a long line. You all knew it was coming. Shop early and then you won't be broke or stuck in a long line.
23. Favorite ornament theme or color? Ones with meaning. Like the hallmark ornaments that I had as a kid.
24. Favorite Christmas dinner?The traditional ham and potatoes.
25. What do you want for Christmas this year? I got everything I wanted. Time with my family, fun with Melissa, camera and kitchen aide and we somehow made it home safely and we are all home alive and healthy.
