1. Wrapping paper or gift bags? Both are really expensive, so I like to use brown paper and decorate with ribbons.
2. Real tree or Artificial? Artificial-no reason to cut down more trees in the world.
3. When do you put up the tree? The day after Thanksgiving, and never a day before
4. When do you take the tree down? The day after Christmas
5. Do you like eggnog? Meh...no opinion either way
6. Favorite gift received as a child? A dollhouse
7. Hardest person to buy for? I am pretty good at finding presents for people, though I have been told MANY times that I am impossible to buy for...
8. Easiest person to buy for? Jason, there are always a million things he wants.
9. Do you have a nativity scene? No, though I would like one.
10. Mail or email Christmas cards? I don't send them now. I figure I will when I have a child, since nobody wants to look at Jason and I year after year
11. Worst Christmas gift you ever received? Too many to count...see question 7 for the reason
12. Favorite Christmas Movie? Love Actually is a good one, Elf is funny (though slightly overplayed) and of course, Die Hard (if you don't believe me, watch it!)

21. Open the presents Christmas Eve or morning? I used to open one present on Christmas Eve, and all the rest on Christmas Day. Now, with my in-laws, we open presents at their house on Christmas Eve, and go to my parent's on Christmas Day.
22. Most annoying thing about this time of the year? The damn Christmas music everywhere! If you have ever worked in retail during the holidays, you know how annoying it is to hear "Rocking Around the Christmas Tree" for the eight millionth time.
23. Favorite ornament theme or color? I like red, cream and blue
24. Favorite for Christmas dinner? I don't have many memorable Christmas dinners. My dad always makes us omelets for breakfast on Christmas morning.
