Under risk of being determined a stubborn old Scrooge, I find myself in a position to disclose to all of you lovely people my opinion of everything Christmas.
1. Wrapping paper or gift bags?
Wrapping paper. I think the process is kind of therapudic, actually.
2. Real tree or Artificial?
...artificial. I'm sadly allergic to the real deal.
3. When do you put up the tree? When I get time, or am actually at home without needing to work on something else :( ...
4. When do you take the tree down? When my roomies start giving me the "stink eye" :)
5. Do you like eggnog? yeah baby! Especially when it's rummed up!
6. Favorite gift received as a child? probably the big ol' barbie house I got when I was about 5. I loved that thing.
7. Do you have a nativity scene? yep!
8. Hardest person to buy for? Grampa Swenson... maybe I'll buy him some dentures with gold teeth in them...
9. Easiest person to buy for? Dad - I remember one year when I couldn't think of anything, so I got him this M&M dispenser I saw at the store, and he still likes to play with it!
10. Mail or email Christmas cards? I like mail - it's more effort, so I understand that it can suck up time and moolah, but the tangible is always fun for me.
11. Worst Christmas gift you ever received? to quote a sunshine boy: "SOCKS?!!!" jk, I honestly love everything I get.
12. Favorite Christmas Movie? The Grinch with Jim Carrey
13. When do you start shopping for Christmas? eh...sometimes as early as October. Depends if I can think of/ see something someone might want.
14. Have you ever recycled a Christmas present? yeah hahaha... some of those "uniquely" scented lotions that somehow make it into production.
15. Favorite thing to eat at Christmas? I guess it's more of a drink, but I really like wassil. yum!
16. Clear lights or colored on the tree? colored.
17. Favorite Christmas song? God Rest ye Merry Gentlemen, or What Child is This.
18. Travel at Christmas or stay home? mm...doesn't matter as long as family is there.
19. Can you name all of Santa's reindeer's? With effort - which will not be expended now because of my pre-jury anxiety.
20. Angel on the tree top or a star? Star - I love the symbolism in Christmas.
21. Open the presents Christmas Eve or morning? I honestly don't really care. There's something fun about kids on Christmas morning though. Whoa-ee's particularly.
22. Most annoying thing about this time of year? umm...it may be unpatriotic of me, but I don't really love all Christmas music. Sometimes it gets on my nerves. Usually its the ones that involve someone trying to bring soul into "rudolph: the red nosed reindeer".
23. Favorite ornament theme or color? I really love the lights - I don't know why but I've always thought that they are interesting. My tree has three different colors of lights on it right now :)
24. Favorite for Christmas dinner? Probably the ham Mom makes.
25. What do you want for Christmas this year? World peace. and a puppy.
