Christmas Survey time!


1. Wrapping paper or gift bags? Mostly gift bags, but I usually wrapped Lynzi's in wrapping paper. I think that is part of the joy for kids...the one time they can be destructive!

2. Real tree or artificial? I have always had an artificial one. You get your money's worth!

3. When do you put up the tree? No particular time. Just when I get the urge and I have a whole day to cleean, rearrange furniture and put it up.

4. When do you take the tree down? See answer for #3.

5. Do you like eggnog? Yep! SURE DO!

6. What about Fruitcake? No, he doesn't like Egg Nog.

7. Favorite gift received as a child? I always got a doll every Christmas. It was a tradition. I am not passing that tradition down to Lynzi. I think my fav doll was when I got twin Cabbage Patch kids! As a big kid in college...my favorite was a computer from my Sister and BIL.

8. Do you have a nativity scene? No, because if I had one my sister would steal it. She collects them! Nothing like getting your baby Jesus stolen! So I don't put the tempation there for her! Seriously...we do have a little Advent Calendar thing that my MIL got us a couple years ago...and it has a nativity on it.

9. Hardest person to buy for? The male species!

10. Easiest person to buy for? Lynzi, of course. The hard part is stopping!!!
