Christmas - getting to know you

Found this on That British Woman's site and thought I would play along.

1.Wrapping paper or gift bags? Paper usually

2. Real tree or Artificial? Real - I love the smell of a real tree.

3. When do you put up the tree? Weekend before Christmas - since it is real, we need it fresh.

4. When do you take the tree down? New Years day

5. Do you like eggnog? Not really. I used to love the eggnog ice cream when I was a kid though.

6. Favourite gift received as a child? Don't remember...maybe my first TV.

7. Hardest person to buy for? Husband...his BD is the 21st so it is twice as hard to find gifts for him (he is also very picky)

8. Easiest person to buy for? My son

9. Do you have a nativity scene? No

10. Mail or email Christmas cards. Neither - I have gotten lazy
