Found this on our pregnancy forum and thought I would throw it on the blog as well. Mainly because I can. I wield that kind of power.
Welcome to the Christmas edition
of
Getting To Know Your Friends. And Possibly Your Family.
1. Wrapping paper or gift bags? Wrapping paper! Bags are kind of eh.
2. Real tree or artificial? Always fake! Real ones are all crooked and cramp my style. I have a really unhealthy attachment to fake pines.
3. When do you put up the tree? Usually day after Halloween.
4. When do you take your tree down? Usually by February. Usually.
5. Do you like eggnog? Maybe a glass or so. When it's properly boozed anyway.
6. Favorite gift received as a child? My Gameboy. I still keep/play/adore Gameboys.
7. Do you have a nativity scene? Yes absolutely. In storage right now unfortunately.
8. Hardest person to buy for? Usually Michael although our families are difficult because we can't afford anything truly decent and so it always comes off as a mish mash of so-so's.
9. Easiest person to buy for? All the kids. My kids are soooo easily amused.
10. Worst Christmas gift you ever received? Let's see............. I recieved nothing from Michael for several years running. Air is a pretty sucky present. Don't fault him though. I usually spent all the Christmas $$$ on the kids.
11. Mail or email Christmas cards? Mail definitely. Complete with obnoxious letter and bad snapshot.
12. Favorite Christmas Movie? Jaws 4. Remember? Sean goes out to fix the dingy on Christmas Eve? Remember? JAWS eats him all while you hear the kids on the island singing Silent Night? Remember? Hmm? Oh, you haven't seen Jaws 4 The Revenge? Very few have.
13. When do you start shopping for Christmas? Normally I plan to try through the year but end up breaking us through November and December.
14. Have you ever recycled a Christmas present? Yep. Air. I gave it back to Michael.
15. Favorite thing to eat at Christmas? Peanut Butter Balls & Iced Sugar Cookies assuming a rare steak isn't readily available.
16. Clear lights or colored on the tree? ONLY CLEAR. Colored lights were invented by Satan to confuse the masses. He put them on the market the same year he introduced foil tinsel. It was a busy year for Satan.
17. Favorite Christmas song? Christmas Cannon & Same Old Auld Lang Syne
18. Travel at Christmas or stay home? Home usually but when we have the chance to travel to our families we do so. We're traveling this year. Because Dexter is 3 months and we like a challenge.
19. Can you name all of Santa's reindeer? Why yes, I can, including the controversial Pedro.
20. Angel on the tree top or a star? Santa but changing to star this year.
21. Open the presents Christmas Eve or morning? Both
22. Most annoying thing about this time of year? The whole Santa thing. Why don't I get credit for the hundreds of dollars and thousands of hours spent? Hmmm?
**Merry Christmas Friends and Family!! **
