Since I seem to have no skill or desire to blog anymore, I thought this might be nice to do! Just saw this at a friend's blog (am loving her gratitude posts!). Here goes!
Christmas Getting to Know Me!
2. Real tree or Artificial? Me-artificial, Mr. Dreamy-real. Mr. Dreamy wins every year!
3. When do you put up the tree? Hmm.... kind of embarrassing, usually at the last minute, a few days before Christmas to a week before :(. Should be sooner, but I hate decorating.
4. When do you take the tree down? Usually on the Feast of Ephiphany
5. Do you like eggnog? LOVE IT! But ONLY homemade...can't stand the "bubble-gum" tasting stuff!
6. Favorite gift received as a child? A Christmas without fighting and shouting on the part of my Dad was usually my favorite :).
7. Hardest person to buy for? No one... it usually comes together okay. We don't go nuts so that probably helps.
8. Easiest person to buy for? Kids.
9. Do you have a nativity scene? Yes, an egg shaped one from my Mom. Sounds corny but it's actually very beautiful. And of course we have the playmobil one!
10. Mail or email Christmas cards? MAIL THEM, EVERYONE MAIL THEM FOR PETE'S SAKE!!!!!
11.Worst Christmas gift you ever received? A huge WHITE sweater, it made me look like an albino cow.
12. Favorite Christmas Movie? Mickey's Christmas Carol or the "The Small One"
13. When do you start shopping for Christmas? As soon as I can. This year I did it very early and Advent was so much more enjoyable!
14. Have you ever recycled a Christmas present? Not really
15. Favorite thing to eat at Christmas? Stuffing or Sugar Cookies
16. Lights on the tree? Tons of white lights... but every year we seem a disarray of colored
17. Favorite Christmas song? Thanks for asking (as I just downloaded the following song and it's my new favorite! It's this one: The Holly and the Ivy (the boys has this song in their play at school and it was so beautiful!)
18.Travel at Christmas or stay home? Half and Half... sometimes we go up north and sometimes we have people here. This year we've hosted Thanksgiving and Christmas.
19. Can you name all of Santa's reindeer's? Yes, I do, but why would I want to take the time when I have a horribly dirty kitchen to clean up? Okay, on to the other questions:
10. Angel on the tree top or a star? Always an angel....
21. Open the presents Christmas Eve or morning? Christmas morning... this year it was 3:43 a.m. (first try) but then after getting them back to bed Mr. Dreamy woke me up later at 6:48 to get them up to open.
22. Most annoying thing about this time of the year? All the greenery...I love it, but all the decorations in the house start to overtake everything and drive me a nuts.
23. Favorite ornament theme or color? My dearest wish is to have a "theme" tree, but every year we just get out the same ornaments, which have a lot of sentimental value. I just realized this year that I could start a theme tree on a tinier tree! That would mean less to buy for ornaments...etc.
24. Favorite for Christmas dinner? Homemade rolls
25. What do you want for Christmas this year? Nature Boy asked me this a few weeks ago... and honestly, I thought about it and told him, "I guess what I really want out of this Advent season is to grow closer to the Lord." So that was my hope, and a MP3 player (I got a iPod Nano!!!).
Hope you had a very blessed Christmas as we did!!
