Christmas Questions

So, I've been on a blogging hiatus since May just purely because I got out of the habit.  It's been an exciting/busy 7 months...Graduating college, starting my job, studying/taking the CPA Exam (which is still an ongoing process), boyfriend moving to the same city, etc.  I'm hoping to get back into the blogging habit!  To start out, I will participate in this Christmas Question list because it looks like fun and I LOVE CHRISTMAS!!

Christmas Questions

1. Wrapping paper or gift bags? Definitely wrapping paper!

2. Real tree or artificial? Always an artificial tree!

3. When do you put up the tree? Normally the weekend after Thanksgiving because we are often out of town Thanksgiving weekend!

4. When do you take the tree down? Usually New Year's Day or the week after!

 

5. Do you like eggnog? Love eggnog, but only drink it in small doses!

9. Easiest person to buy for? My little cousin!

10. Mail or email Christmas cards? Mail, I hope people don't stop mailing Christmas cards!  I absolutely love getting them in the mail.  It's a pet peeve of mine when people just sign their name on the Christmas card...I love letters, a photo, or personal note included!

 

11. Worst Christmas gift you ever recieved? Something from my Grandma...she's had some strange gifts in the past.  All the granddaughters would get the same gift, so we'd have to open it at the exact same time...one of the worst was probably a coin set.

17. Favorite Christmas song? I am a Christmas music fanatic...I start listening in November!  My favorite song is probably Little Drummer Boy.

18. Travel at Christmas or stay home? Usually travel because most of our relatives live on the other side of the state.

19. Can you name all of Santa's reindeer? Rudolph, Prancer, Dasher, Dancer, Donner, Blitzen...and I guess that equals a no to this question because I'm sure there are more...ha!

21. Open the opesents Christmas Eve or morning? Christmas morning.

22. Most annoying this about this time of year? People who don't value the true meaning of Christmas and go crazy with gifts.
