Wrapping paper, mostly. I do recycle gift bags for odd-shaped gifts or small things that I want to combine, though.
Fake. I can’t stand cutting down a living tree, just to have it sit in my house for a few weeks and watch it die. I would get balled trees, but eventually you run out of places to plant them. So, fake it is.
Any time after Terry’s birthday on the 8th.
January-ish.
Definitely. Don’t forget the nutmeg!
I don’t know. I don’t remember the gifts so much as the wonderful family time spent together and the traditions that we had.
Nope. We always had one when I was growing up, but I don’t have one now.
Terry! He never gives me ideas and always buys himself whatever he wants, so I have to wrack my brain every year for something special. One of these years, I’m going to come up empty.
I think that my friend Mary is the easiest. She loves whatever I give her! 🙂
I don’t remember.
Mail. Except this year. I’m either skipping cards completely or doing them via email.
The Grinch Who Stole Christmas (the original, animated version). Ooooh no, Mr. Magoo’s Christmas Carol! THAT is my favorite!
June-ish. I have to be done by Thanksgiving or I’ll have a panic attack. 😆
No
Sparkling grape juice (non-alcoholic, of course) to drink and turkey with stuff, gravy, cranberry sauce and broccoli casserole for dinner. Oh, and peanut butter kiss cookies. 🙂
Multi-colored for indoor trees. Clear for outdoors.
Mmmmm… not sure. Maybe Bing Crosby’s White Christmas? I have both volumes of the Time-Life Christmas collection and there are a lot of “oldies but goodies” on there.
Stay home. Ever since we built the house, Christmas is here. It’s just easier that way.
I can sing “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer” so yes.
Oh come on, like you even have to ask? 😉 Actually, we had an angel until I found the perfect star topper last year. It’s the Hallmark Starbright Illuminations tree topper.
Both. Terry and I exchange gifts with each other the night before to have some special, romantic time to ourselves and we exchange gifts with the rest of the family Christmas morning.
The stress and the crowds, but mostly the over-commercialization of the holiday.
The generosity of the Christmas spirit, giving gifts and the general glow of this time of year.
Many of the gifts that Terry give me have some special significance, but I could not point out any single gift as the most memorable. Mostly because my memory is terrible!
I can never seem to get everything stitched that I would like to for gifts. I even started earlier this year, but then took on too many other obligations, so I ended up worse off than usual.
