Everyone can blame Heather Ward for this one! She emailed it to me but I thought I'd blog mine instead of emailing to here goes...
1. Wrapping paper or gift bags? I enjoy OPENING paper but prefer WRAPPING in bags, so I split it 50/50 cause the kids like the paper better.
2. Real tree or Artificial? My Artificial 9 ft PRE-LIT tree that I bought at Costco a couple of years ago. I really love the idea of real trees but we're rarely home for Christmas and they do pose a fire hazard. As for the smell of real trees we have a lovely pine candle so we don't miss out.
3. When do you put up the tree? Sometime after Thanksgiving, depending on my mood, but no later then December 1st or 2nd.
4. When do you take the tree down? The day after I walk in the door from our Christmas Holiday.
5. Favorite gift received as a child? Don't remember. I do remember my parents always telling us that we would never remember our gifts. As a child I thought YEAH RIGHT but it seems they knew what they were talking about!
6. Do you have a nativity scene? Yes. I have a couple but my favorite is my fisher-price Nativity. Its so cute and my kids love playing with it!
7. Hardest person to buy for? The Dad's. My Dad and Big T are next to impossible to shop for.
8. Easiest to buy for? Natalie. Its difficult to restrain myself, actually. Good thing her birthday is 3 days after Christmas.
9. Mail or email Christmas cards? I mail them. If you don't get one from me this year don't x me off your list...I'm just not doing them due to the recent craziness of my life and the fact that I just sent out Reecey's birth annoucements.
10. Worst Christmas gift you ever received? Refer to number 5
11. Favorite Christmas Movie? I have too many to count! We love Christmas Vacation and watch it every Thanksgiving night. I also LOVE watching Elf with my kids. Jackson's got it memorized. Polar Express is also a favorite of mine in addition to Home Alone. TJ and I enjoy Family Man but I think my most favorite of all time for grown ups is While You Were Sleeping. Shannon, Angie and Jocelyn know why!
12. Have you ever recycled a Christmas present? Can't say that I have.
13. Favorite thing to eat at Christmas? I love all the cheese balls and dips but my mom's fudge is up there along with LouLou's carmelitas and slush! YUMMY!
14. Clear lights or colored on the tree? My pre-lit tree is white but I saw a tree the other day with colored and thought that maybe next year I'd do a "formal" tree with white lights and a kids tree with colored. Just call me Janet.
15. Favorite Christmas song? Clay Aiken's "First Noel" is great and I love Harry Connick Jr's Christmas CD. I also enjoy "Rocking Around the Christmas Tree" and Holly Jolly Christmas. Alan Jackson sings a song called "Let it be Christmas" that is awesome and Matt B. introduced me to Carol of the Bells performed by the Trans Siberian Orchestra!
16. Travel at Christmas or stay home? We travel since we live away from everyone but starting next year we're staying home!
17. Can you name all of Santa's reindeer? There's Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donder and Blitzen. But do you recall the most famous reindeer of all? RUDOLPH!
18. Open the presents Christmas Eve or morning? We open PJ's Christmas Eve...and then the rest Christmas morning.
19. Most annoying thing about this time of year? "Happy Holidays" and Holiday Trees and that kind of crap! Whatever happend to Merry Christmas? I don't know about you but if a Jewish person told me Happy Haunukkah I wouldn't be offended. I like to think that if I accidentally told a Jewish person Merry Christmas they wouldn't be offended either.
20. Favorite ornament theme or color? My tree is kind of a peppermint candy theme. Every year I wonder if I should change it but then I get it up and decide I LOVE it.
21. Favorite for Christmas dinner? The traditional
22. What do you want for Christmas this year? My house to sell
TAG...the usuals...you know who are Lindsay, Shannon, Jocelyn, Heather E., Marilee, Ali, Erin, Kacey, Ego, Libby, Jeni, and I'll tag Angie, but I don't know if she'll do it! If anyone else would like to do it then I'll be happy to read!
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Lucy: Wh-why did you say that?
Nurse Wanda: Say what?
Lucy: I'm not his fiancee.
Nurse Wanda: Why did you tell me that you were?
Lucy: I'm not engaged. I've never even spoken to the guy.
Nurse Wanda: What? Well, do-, downstairs, you said, you said you were gonna marry him.
Lucy: Oh, geez, I was talking to myself.
Nurse Wanda: Well, next time you talk to yourself, tell yourself you're single and end the conversation.
