Dec. 19, 2007 - A Christmas Meme

I saw this over at In Beauty and in Grace and thought it looked like fun!!


Wrapping paper or gift bags?
Wrapping paper! I don't think gift bags are nearly as fun!

Real tree or artificial?
I love real trees but we leave ours up so long that it's better to go artificial! It's still beautiful. I get the smell by burning Christmasy candles.

When do you put up the tree?
Sometime over the Thanksgiving weekend.

When do you take the tree down?
Usually January 1st.

Favorite holiday theme?
We have lots of snowmen, and lots of Nativities.


Favorite gift received as a child?
Probably the stereo I got when I was 14 ... I love music and it sounded soooo much better than my clock radio!  LOL


Do you have a nativity scene?
Yes, one or twenty.

Hardest person to buy for?
My husband!


Easiest person to buy for?
My children


Worst Christmas gift you ever received?
I can't think of anything!


Mail or email cards?
This year .... neither!!


Favorite thing to eat at Christmas?
Chocolate fudge with walnuts in it.

White lights or colored on the tree?
Tiny multi-colored twinkling lights


Favorite Christmas song?
Silent Night

Travel for Christmas or stay at home?
Stay at home.

Can you name all of Santa's reindeers?
Yep!

Favorite Christmas movie?
It's a Wonderful Life

When do you start shopping for Christmas?
Ummmmmm .... this coming Friday!!

Have you ever recycled a Christmas present?
No.


Angel on the tree top or a star?
Angel.  Each year a different child puts in up.  We usually have to look at last year's pictures to figure out whose turn it is for this year!

Open the presents on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day?
Mostly on Christmas morning.

Most annoying thing about this time of year?
The lack of parking spots!


What I love most about Christmas?
Our birthday party for Jesus on Christmas Eve ... next would be watching everyone open their gifts.

If you're reading this and want to participate, consider yourself tagged! Let me know if you do, I'd love to read about how others spend their holidays.

Have you NOT received my Secret Sister package? I am getting worried now. I keep checking here to see if you liked it. I am sending something else this week but was hoping you already got my first box and are enjoying everything???
I hope you had a very Merry Christmas!

I am concerned with your Secret Sister that we haven't been able to contact you so I am trying the comment method myself. Can you please update your status??

I'm really unsure "how" to handle your SS since I am unaware of your situation and it is unknown if you are okay. I truly pray that you are okay and well and am very worried. Please contact me if you can. Your SS that is sending to you is very concerned and so I am. She shows by tracking number that her package to you was received but there is no post on your blog stating that ...and the SS that you are supposed to send to hasn't heard from you either. I am praying that you and your family alright and my heart is very heavy since I don't know.

Praying,
Tamara

Hey, I just popped over to say Happy New Year and to make sure that all is okay. I saw this tag on someone's blog and never slowed down to take it myself, although I thought it was fun.

I loved your comment about the real vs. the artificial trees. I, too, love the smell of the Christmas tree, and we intentionally wait until late in the Christmas season to buy a tree because I don't want it to die and shed, etc. I never thought of lighting Christmas candles instead. Is there a special place to buy them?

I've had you on my heart and have been very worried. I've made some changes with Secret Sisters until we hear of your situation but know that the entire group is praying for you and your family.

Hugs, Tamara
