I've Been CHRISTmas Tagged!

Aaron said, "Tag, you're it!" So here goes:

1. Wrapping or gift bags?

Depends on the gift; I like paper, but bags are better for some items.

2. Real or artificial tree?

As a kid, we had fake trees until my parents divorced and my mother remarried...my stepfather is a real tree fan. I now prefer a real tree, but a couple of years ago informed hubby that I was tired of the yearly arguments that would invariably break out when choosing, lugging home, and struggling to put up the real tree. This way I only have to nag him to get it down from the attic; the girls and I can handle it from there.

3. When do you put up the tree?

Usually the weekend after Thanksgiving, but no later than two weeks before.

4. When do you take the tree down?

New Year's Day.

5. Do you like eggnog?

A cup or two is fine, but I am not crazed about it. And no booze, please; I have a very low alcohol tolerance and don't like to make a fool of myself in front of the relatives.

6. Favorite gift received as a child?

My Easy Bake Oven.

7. Do you have a nativity scene?

No.

8. Worst Christmas gift you ever received?

I can't remember...perhaps I blocked the terrible memory?

9. Mail or e-mail Christmas cards?

Mail, but I have gotten worse and worse about getting them out in a timely fashion; as of this writing, none have gone out this year. Bad, Pam, bad!

10. Favorite Christmas movie?

A Christmas Story, followed closely by Trading Places (that Dan Aykroyd and Eddie Murphy classic)

11. When do you start shopping for Christmas?

A couple of weeks before...and usually right before (but not including) Christmas Eve.

12. Favorite thing to eat at Christmas?

I have to pick a favorite? I love everything (and my waistline proves it). Okay, um...turnips, because we usually only have them at Thanksgiving and Christmas.

13. Clear lights or colored on the tree?

Colored.

14. Favorite Christmas song?

Gloria In Excelsis Deo
