    \n
  1. Wrapping paper or gift bags?<\/li>\n

    Both, but mostly wrapping paper.<\/p>\n

  2. Real tree or artificial?<\/li>\n

    Artificial. I can’t see sacrificing a tree for my decorating purposes. Plus, it keeps us from worrying about Phoebe getting into dropped needles or the tree water.<\/p>\n

  3. When do you put up the tree?<\/li>\n

    Sometime after Terry’s birthday on Dec. 8th.<\/p>\n

  4. When do you take the tree down?<\/li>\n

    Sometime in January.<\/p>\n

  5. Do you like egg nog?<\/li>\n

    Yep. I need to buy some the next time we’re at the grocery store, actually. I usually add some nutmeg to it.<\/p>\n

  6. Favorite gift received as a child?<\/li>\n

    Either my Easy Bake oven or my Hippity Hop. If you don’t know what it is, a Hippity Hop was a large ball with a handle on it that you could sit on and bounce around everywhere.<\/p>\n

  7. Do you have a nativity scene?<\/li>\n

    No.<\/p>\n

  8. Hardest person to buy for?<\/li>\n

    My father-in-law. He buys everything he wants, when he wants it. I make him Terry’s problem. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

  9. Easiest person to buy for?<\/li>\n

    Probably my mother. I can usually give her something homemade, plus something retail.<\/p>\n

  10. Mail or e-mail Christmas cards?<\/li>\n

    Snail mail. Though I tend to run out of cards.<\/p>\n

  11. Worst Christmas gift you ever received?<\/li>\n

    More like worst set of Christmas gifts received. One year, after my parents divorced, I gave a whole list to my dad and he didn’t get me one single thing on the list! Sorry, Dad, I love you, but I was really bummed.<\/p>\n

  12. Favorite Christmas movie?<\/li>\n

    Mr. Magoo’s Christmas Carol<\/p>\n

  13. When do you start shopping for Christmas?<\/li>\n

    Early fall. Can’t start too early, unless it’s a stitched item, because you run the risk of the recipient buying the gift for themselves.<\/p>\n

  14. Have you ever recycled a Christmas present?<\/li>\n

    Probably, but I can’t remember anything specific.<\/p>\n

  15. Favorite thing to eat at Christmas?<\/li>\n

    Everything. \ud83d\ude09 Peanut butter kiss cookies.<\/p>\n

  16. Clear lights or colored on the tree?<\/li>\n

    Multi-colored, please.<\/p>\n

  17. Favorite Christmas song?<\/li>\n

    I don’t think I have a favorite.<\/p>\n

  18. Travel at Christmas or stay home?<\/li>\n

    Stay home. When we bought the house, we declared that everyone would come to us. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

  19. Can you name all of Santa’s reindeer?<\/li>\n

    Yep. The Rudolph song is forever burned into my brain.<\/p>\n

  20. Angel on the tree top or a star?<\/li>\n

    A star, of course. But someday it will be an angel with hardanger wings and gown.<\/p>\n

  21. Open the presents Christmas Eve or morning?<\/li>\n

    Both. Terry and I open our presents to each other on Christmas Eve. We open presents with my parents in the morning, then presents with his parents when they arrive.<\/p>\n

  22. Most annoying thing about this time of year?<\/li>\n

    The over-commercialization of Christmas. Stores start carrying Christmas items way too early!<\/p>\n

  23. Favorite ornament theme or color?<\/li>\n

    Favorite ornament theme would be handmade. I was lax this year in finishing items, but I woud eventually like to have the majority of my ornaments be handmade.<\/p>\n

  24. Favorite thing for Christmas dinner?<\/li>\n

    Turkey. Since Terry’s allergic to poultry, this is about the only time of year that I get turkey!<\/p>\n

  25. What do you want for Christmas this year?<\/li>\n

    To be happy.\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
