Tagged for Christmas

Posted 19 Dec 2007 in memes, personal

The GrinchPam tagged me in yesterday’s comments. So here goes:

1. Wrapping or gift bags?
Both, but it depends on the shape of the present.

2. Real or artificial tree?
We always had real trees while I was growing up, but now I have a pre-lit artificial that looks pretty real. Easier to take care of and I like the way it looks.

3. When do you put up the tree?
Usually the weekend after Thanksgiving, but no later than two weeks before.

4. When do you take the tree down?
New Year’s Day.

5. Do you like eggnog?
Love the taste but avoid it due to the calories.

6. Favorite gift received as a child?
Micronauts. Specifically the Baron Karza figure.

7. Do you have a nativity scene?
Of course. I happen to have the set my parents used all throughout my childhood. It’s a cheap little set with plastic figures, but it has a lot of emotional value for me.

8. Worst Christmas gift you ever received?
Probably socks. Especially because they were given to me as a Christmas AND birthday combo gift (yes, my birthday is Christmas day).

9. Mail or e-mail Christmas cards?
Email. I’m especially bad about writing cards.

10. Favorite Christmas movie?
It’s A Wonderful Life. It’s my tradition to watch that on Christmas eve while I wrap the last few presents.

11. When do you start shopping for Christmas?
Oh crap, I better start! Seriously though, I normally start looking after Thanksgiving and don’t really get to it until the around second week of December.

12. Favorite thing to eat at Christmas?
My mother used to make something we called “fried pizzas” which was basically just some homemade pizza dough cooked in a deep fryer and served with homemade sauce, meatballs and sausage.

My other favorite is spritz cookies.

13. Clear lights or colored on the tree?
Clear

14. Favorite Christmas song?
Silent Night
