Christmas Survey

Not sure where I found this, but play along if you'd like.

1. Wrapping paper or gift bags?Wrapping paper for sure. I love wrapping presents, and one of my favorite things to buy is fun wrapping paper each year.

This year's paper! It's my favorite!

2. Real tree or artificial?
Artificial. I've never ever had a real tree; I mean what if there was a squirrel inside like the Griswolds?

3.When do you put up the tree?
Usually the Friday or Saturday after Thanksgiving!
4. When do you take the tree down?
After New Year's Day.
5. Do you like eggnog?
It's ok.
6. Favorite gift received as a child?
I can't think of anything in particular....I do remember (and still have) a denim sleeping bag that had neon paint splotches. I also got some New Kids on The Block stuff that year. It was a good Christmas!

This is it!

7. Do you have a nativity scene?
I don't

11. Worst Christmas gift you ever received?
My poor Nanny used to get us the worst clothes. I mean I was a teen and she (and my aunt) would buy us clothes they would wear. Nanny also would get us random figurines. It's the thought that counts though, right?
