A Second Kick at the Christmas Question Can.

   I have no orginality left at this time of year. I saw another mommy blogger friend of mine had recycled her Christmas Questionaire that she answered in previous years, so I thought hmm...I can do that. Frankly, I am tired. I was up late Needle felting and wrapping Christmas Presents. Today we made snow flakes and Ill likely be scraping glitter glue off the furniture until Easter. Even as I type this I have a handsy 4 month old that thinks he should be able to grab everything and protests quite loudly if he doesn't get his way. I'm beyond tired today. So I'm stealing my friend Roxanne's idea over at Life with the Bakers. Thank you!

1. Wrapping paper or gift bags? Wrapping Paper. For the last couple years I try to do a special wrapping paper for each kid to make it easier under the tree. This year Ella has Tinkerbell, Harmony has Princesses, Camden has Lego and Sawyer gets the left over Christmas themed (Poor forgotten last child). Santa has Silver sparkly paper.

2. Real tree or Artificial? Artificial, I don't think I could possibly attend to the needs of another living thing in our house. Just ask the neglected house plant how he feels, or the Sea Monkeys, RIP little buddies. 

3. When do you put up the tree? If I had my way December 24th and would take it down the 26th. Just call me the grinch. Unfortunately we put ours up last week and we have had 2 broken ornaments already. 

4. When do you take the tree down? The sooner the better. Usually New Years Day. 

5. Do you like eggnog? Capital D-isgusting - Grooooossssssss

6. Favorite gift received as a child? MY Cabbage Patch stuff. I loved my green foam Cabbage Patch Chair

7. Do you have a nativity scene? Yes, 3 of them.

8. Hardest person to buy for? My parents, so this year I have given them the gift of acts of service. Cleaning their house, doing my moms make up for evenings out...things like that. They buy whatever they want or need anyway so this is something I can do for them that they appreciate. 

9. Easiest person to buy for?  Camden. 4 Year old boys love everything and are cheap to shop for. 

10. Mail or email Christmas cards?  Neither this year. I just haven't found the time.

11. Worst Christmas gift you ever received?  Hmmm....I'm sure there has to be something but I can't think of it. 

12. Favorite Christmas Movie?  Love Actually....Worst Christmas movie is Christmas Vacation...I dont know what it is but I hate that movie with a passion. 

13. When do you start shopping for Christmas? I probably start around September.

14. Ever recycled a Christmas present? Hmmm...Can't think of anything at the moment. 

15. Favorite thing to eat at Christmas?  Turkey dinner with all the trimmings...Mmmm

16. Clear lights or colored on the tree? Ours are Prelit with clear nut I think multicoloured would fit with our mish mash of ornaments

17. Favorite Christmas song? O Holy Night, Away in a Manager, The First Noel, Little Drummer Boy...Mostly ones centered around the true meaning of Christmas. I do like ALL  I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS IS YOU though.

18. Travel at Christmas or stay home?  All our close family lives within a 15 minute drive so its not really traveling.

19. Can you name all of Santa's reindeer? Sure can...Ready, Set, Go...DASHER< DANCER< PRANCER<VIXEN<COMET<CUPID<DONNER (DONDER depending on version)< BLITZEN , RUDOLPH, and just for funsies OLIVE (All of the other reindeer)

20. Angel on the tree top or a star? Angel

21. Open the presents Christmas Eve or morning? Christmas Morning

22. Most annoying thing about this time of year? Hustle and bustle. 

23. Favorite ornament, theme, or color?  All our special Ornaments - our tree is a mish mashed mess

24. What do you want for Christmas this year? An iPad. Think I will get one? Yeah, probably not. Guess I'm on the Naughty list again this year. Bah Hum Bug
