Christmas Questions . . .

In response to this blog post:

:-)

Wrapping paper or gift bags?
Both, really I use whatever I have. Currently, under my tree it is half paper half bags.

Real tree or artificial?
I love real trees. This year I have one. Some years they cost too much or I don't want the hassle. So I have my parents old artificial tree as a backup.

When do you put up the tree?
Weekend after Thanksgiving.

When do you take the tree down?
Sometime during the week after Christmas.

Favorite holiday theme?
I would have to say nativity scenes -- I have three of them up now.

Favorite gift received as a child?
I would have to say the books (surprise!) I got from my Aunt Linda -- they were always fun and different.

Do you have a nativity scene?
Yes, three of them.

Hardest person to buy for?
My dad and the brother.

Easiest person to buy for?
My mom.

Mail or e-mail cards?
I attempt to send out card every Christmas but I have decided it is too depressing to toss them all in a drawer "to save for next year." So e-mail cards.

It's A Wonderful Life (the siblings are rolling their eyes now . . .)

All year, keeps expenses down and less stressful.

Everything.
