I got tagged by my sister. I'm new to this whole blogging thing, but apparently you "tag" people, and then they have to answer the questions. Kind of fun!
1. Wrapping paper or gift bag? wrapping paper
2. Real tree or artificial? Fake for now, I'll talk Jake into getting us a real one some day when we have money.
3. When do you put up your tree? First day of December
4. When do you take down your tree? after New Years
5. Do you like eggnog? Mmm! Yes! I used to hate it, but now I really like it- only certain kinds though.
6. Favorite gift received as a child- a Stacy doll (Barbie's sister). I also got a doll that wore a crown, and when you pushed a button, she sang a song and lit up and projected pretty flowers from her crown onto the ceiling- that was pretty cool.
7. Do you have a nativity scene? no, I should ask for one for Christmas.
8. Hardest person to buy for? For some reason it was really hard to shop for our parents. I've been shopping for my parents for years, and this year was just hard!
9. Easiest person to buy for? Nieces and nephews- a dollar at Wal-Mart can buy amazing things!
10. Worst Christmas gift you've ever received? Amen to Cindy- that's exactly what I thought too- even before I read your response! no offense Mom, but kitty cat calendars aren't cool when you're in junior high (or college for that matter). teddy bears aren't as bad, but still aren't cool. And the flower calendars- those were even a little better than the teddy bears, but luckily Mom says she not buying calendars this year. (Just teasin ya Mom)
11. US Mail or email Christmas cards? US Mail- if I was going to send Christmas cards out, that is. I'm having a hard enough time getting our thank you cards from our wedding in June out!
12. Favorite Christmas movie? Mickey's Christmas Carol, Scrooge, A Cabbage Patch Christmas, Home Alone I and II.
13. When do you start shopping for Christmas? Man- this year I was taling about Christmas in August- I've been so excited for Jake and my first Christmas! But I think I held off and bought the first Christmas present like the day after Thanksgiving.
14. Have you ever recycled a Christmas present? No. Wedding gifts... that might be another story. :)
15. Favorite thing to eat at Christmas? Man- Cindy and I are so alike when it comes to Christmas. I have to agree with you again: Any Christmas candy; green and red m&m's, pb cups, hershey kisses. I also LOVE Raylene's caramel/white chocolate dipped apples. Mmmm!
16. White or colored lights? White. I don't know about those blue lights at the temple- they kind of send my eyes for a loop!
17. Favorite Christmas songs? "All I Want for Christmas is You" by Mariah Carey. It brings back good memories from my freshman year of college. Yes Jake and Brad- freshman year! I laughed when you said the Carpenters, Cindy. I always get so excited when I hear "Merry Christmas Darling" by Carol Carpenter- it's a good one.
18. Travel for Christmas or stay home? Home! I can't imagine traveling (unless we were away from family, then we would definitely travel there).
19. Can you name all of Santa's reindeer? Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Happy, Doc, Grumpy... oh wait. Cupid, Dawnder, Blitzen. But do you recall... Rudoloph.
20. Angel or Star on top of tree? Right now we have a cute bow that Mom Merrell helped me make. She is such a good bow maker!
21. Open presents Christmas Eve or Morning? One on Christmas eve (the name we drew) and the rest on Christmas morning.
22. Most annoying thing about this time of year? Grumpy, crowded stores- it's Christmas! Cheer up!
23. What I love most about Christmas? Being with family! Buying presents for Jake. Decorating.
