1. Wrapping paper or gift bags? Depends what it is, but if it can be wrapped, it gets wrapped. Steve does the wrapping, btw. I ain't no good at it.
2. Real tree or Artificial? Real, and it always comes from our property, which is full of trees.
3 When do you put your tree up? Depends. This year, we are leaving for my folks tommorrow and returning Sunday or Monday, so we will do it when we get back.
4 When do you take the tree down? New Years day, without fail.
5. Do you like eggnog? NO!
6. Favorite gift received as a child? As a kid, anything that has anything to do with trains.
7 Hardest person to buy for? Because we have everything, we don't buy each other anything. We have a big Christmas party each year. We go all out, it is expensive, but it is our gift to our friends and family (that can make it). Because our family is so large, we don't buy gifts. Each person buys one very nice gift (we usually have ideas what people want), and do a 'White Elepant' type gift exchange. It is fun, and most people enjoy the gift they end up with.
8. Easiest person to buy for? See above.
9. Do you have a nativity scene? No. There is a farm down the road from us. It is called 'Little Alaska'. Each year they put out a life size nativity scene, so we enjoy it.
10. Mail or email Christmas cards? Mail.
11. Worst Christmas gift you ever received? Don't recollect.
