Christmas meme

1. Wrapping paper or gift bags?
It's almost always wrapping paper. There is something cooler about the sound of the paper opening. I try to use really pretty paper with pretty bows and stuff. If the item is really very odd shaped then I do use bags. I think they server a purpose though. The gift bag. Great idea.


2. Real tree or Artificial?
As I am living at home.. again.... it's a real tree and I love it. My parent's still use ornaments that we made when we were in elementary school. There is one from my oldest sister who is now 35 from when she was in pre-school or kindergarten. It's crazy. When I was living in my own home it was a fake tree. Just a little like 3' deal b/c of the dogs. I think they would have tried to eat it.


3. When do you put up the tree?
when I feel like it really. I think jumping to do it the day after Thanksgiving is a bit overboard. I never really had a set day.


4. When do you take the tree down?
Again, whenever I feel like it. I don't have a set day to do it.


5. Do you like eggnog?
Hellllll no. I think it looks gross. Plus I'm lactose intolerant so why even bother?

6. Favorite gift received as a child?
Wow.. so many to pick from. Prob a Barbie doll. No wait. We had these things called fashion plates. They were awesome! They had plates with different patterns of clothing and shoes and hair styles. So you'd have 3 pieces to make a woman. Then you'd use a black crayon and slide it over top of the plates and it would make an outline that you could then color in. My sister's and I and friends (3 girls) actually made a magazine using those fashion plates. Yeah, we were that cool.
Also my little ponies. We LOVED them.
