One of my friends from Blessed Maidens, Elise, tagged me!
Welcome to the Christmas edition of getting to know your family and friends.
Okay, here's what you're supposed to do, and try not to be a SCROOGE!!!
Change all the answers so that they apply to you.
Then tag a whole bunch of people you know. Tis the Season to be NICE!
1. Wrapping paper or gift bags? Wrapping paper, totally!
2. Real or fake tree? Real! I love the smell. :D
3. When do you put up a tree? We haven't had a tree for sometime.. when we did get a tree, it would usually be around in the second week of December.
4. When do you take it down? Before January 1st.
5. Do you like eggnog? Yes!
6. Favorite gift received as a child? My bible I received when I was six.
7. Hardest person to buy for? We don't buy presents much, unless Dad approves and you have the means, but the hardest person to make for are the three big boys.
8. Easiest person to buy for? Twins
9. Do you have a nativity scene? Yes, two of them! Small ones, that would go on a mantle.. or on top of a fish tank ;)
10. Mail or email Christmas cards? I like to write email, but like to receive mail. :D
11. Worst Christmas gift you ever received? Haven't ever had one.
12. Favorite Christmas Movie? N/A
13. When do you start shopping for Christmas? Seeing as we don't buy our presents, I'll say when I start making Christmas presents. I start making Christmas presents around the first snow... usually in October. As long as there is snow on the ground, I am enthusiastic about making Christmas presents. :D
14. Have you ever recycled a Christmas present? As in giving it to another person the next year? No.
15. Favourite thing to eat at Christmas? Fondue
16. Lights on the tree? What would a Christmas tree be without lights?
17. Favourite Christmas song? I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day and God With Us both by Casting Crowns
18. Travel at Christmas or stay home? Ever since I can remember we have stayed at home for Christmas.. though I think an older sibling told me that we used to go to the beach when we lived in OR. Fore about the first 4 years of living where we live now, our family in OR would come out to us.
19. Can you name all of Santa's reindeer's? Nope. Never have cared. We don't do Santa.
20. Angel on the tree top or a star? An angel
21. Open presents on Christmas Eve or morning? It all depends.. We have done all of them on Christmas eve, or half of them on Christmas eve and the other half on Christmas day.. I don't think we have ever done them all on Christmas day. =P
22. Most annoying thing about this time of the year? Santa. He has become the focus of Christmas in most families, instead of Jesus. Santa didn't come down to earth to die for us so that we may receive salvation.
23. Favourite Ornament theme or color? We never have had a 'theme' or specific 'color' for our tree... we put homemade ornaments on, or ornaments that were given to us when we were little.
24. Favourite for Christmas dinner? Christmas Eve we have Rubin sandwiches, fondue with french bread cut into bite sized pieces, spinach dip and the french bread cut into bite sized pieces, l'l smokies, and I can't think of what else, if there is an else. Christmas day I think we usually have Ham.
25. Favourite Decorations? Lights.
26. What do you want for Christmas this year? IDK

Posted by Rebecca Fun! That was cool. I know all about the Santa thing. Annoying. The only reindeer I think I can name are....comet, and Rudolph. And donor or something. I don't know. I am playing the song here in my head. Anyway, have a great day!

Posted by hapyme5 Hello Elizabeth!
I haven't heard from you in a while. :'( I dearly miss your comments. I suppose I should get over here more though. :-D
I see you are still having sidebar problems. :-D I have gone to a very simple template while I am waiting for inspiration on my next one. :-D
