1. Wrapping paper or gift bags? Hmmm. wrapping paper. I worked in customer service for Dillards and learned how to wrap like a "professional"... so, I love it.
2. Real tree or artificial? I wish I could say real. But, I think next year will be our first real tree... it's just too messy with little ones...
3. When do you put up the tree? ASAP. sometime after... Halloween. I know. I'm a freak... It really just depends on what I bribe Stephen with to bring the tree upstairs...
4. When do you take the tree down?the first week in Jan
5. Do you like eggnog? not so much. just a little at parties or something...
6. Favorite gift received as a child? A ski trip with my family..
7. Do you have a nativity scene? Pieces of one. I was going to put it out this year but we are missing dear Mary and baby Jesus.
8. Hardest person to buy for? totally Stephen. He doesn't really tell me what he wants... so I just end up getting him what I want him to have...
9. Easiest person to buy for? All of my kiddos. They are pretty much easily entertained.
10. Worst Christmas gift you ever received? honestly. I can't think of a bad one.
11. Mail or email Christmas cards? I LOVE getting mail. cute fun mail. And I love making cards... But, honestly I didn't get around to sending cards this year...
12. Favorite Christmas Movie? hmmmm. My kids love Polar Express. But, it's on about every other night... so I am pretty burned out already.

22. Most annoying thing about this time of year? we focus way too much on gifts. It's crazy that we spent hundreds on presents & we don't spend much time focusing on the Savior... it's easy to get sucked into... but, still very frustrating...
