1. Wrapping paper or gift bags?  Wrapping paper for most things -- gift bags if the gift is an awkward size or shape

2. Real tree or Artificial?  I'd like to have artificial but The Husband doesn't. So far it's a real tree, usually some kind of spruce.

3 When do you put your tree up?  Usually the second week of December

4 When do you take the tree down?  Anywhere from the second week of January to Valentine's Day!

5. Do you like eggnog?   Yes -- Southern Comfort is my favorite. Despite the brand name, it isn't alcoholic -- I occasionally mix Bailey's Irish Cream with eggnog but the flavors of whiskey or brandy mixed with eggnog has never worked for me.

6. Favorite gift received as a child?  Tossup between a pogo stick and a toy roller coaster

7 Hardest person to buy for?   My mother and mother-in-law both

8. Easiest person to buy for?  My youngest niece

9. Do you have a nativity scene?    No

10. Mail or email Christmas cards?  Some years I mail Christmas cards, but it's not a regular thing. I often send email holiday greetings

11. Worst Christmas gift you ever received?  The various baby dolls that well-meaning aunts gave me in an attempt to 'convert' me to proper 1950s femininity. I gave them to my older sister.

12. Favorite Christmas Movie/Cartoon?  Scrooged and Christmas Carol (Patrick Stewart version a favorite)   

13. When do you start shopping for Christmas?  Labor Day.

14. Have you ever regifted a Christmas present?  Many -- and I suspect some of my own have been too. 

15. Favorite thing to eat at Christmas?   Pumpkin pie.

16. Lights on the tree?  Multi colored lights, steady burning.

17. Favorite Christmas song?   A number of them. Celine Dion's version of "O Holy Night", some of the very old carols such as "Holly and the Ivy" and "Lulay, lulay thou holy child."  Also some that are played at Christmas but don't specifically mention it: "Song For a Winter's Night" and "The Promise."  Favorite contemporary Christmas carol: "There's Something About Christmastime" (Brian Adams)

18. Travel at Christmas or stay home?   Used to travel but now it's gotten too expensive

19. Can you name all of Santa's reindeer?   Yes

20. Angel on the tree top or a star?   No - actually we have a Shriner's fez

21. Open presents on Christmas Eve or morning?  Neither. The Husband works on both Thanksgiving and Christmas, so we open presents Christmas night.

22. Most annoying thing about this time of the year?   The preaching about "materialism" at Christmas from clergy who totally ignore it as a moral problem the rest of the year. 

23. Favorite Ornament theme or color?  Don't have one. 

24. Favorite for Christmas dinner?   Turkey, followed closely by quail.

25. What do you want for Christmas this year?   A new house!

I don't know if you all have heard it, but here in the NYC area, there is a song that one of the stations play.  It's by commedian Bob Rivers, called "Who Put The Stump?" and is sung from the point of view of the angel, after being placed on top of the Christmas tree.

I'd like to find the guy
Who done me wrong
And stuck my arse up
On this Christmas tree.
Who put the stump
In my rump-ba-bump-ba-bump?
Who took and jammed it
In my ram-a-lam-a-ding dong?
Who stood the wood
Where I poop-she-poop-she-poop?
Who put the stick
Up my hipty-dipty-dip?
Who was that man?
He shoved it up my can
And left me stranded on this Christmas tree. (Yeah ...)
When this angel heard
Chop-ba-ba-bop, di-chop-ba-ba-bop,
A dreadful fear went right into my heart.
Those pine tree needles sting me,
Ram-a-jam-a-ram-a-jammin' in my ding dong.
You'll never know how much that smarts. (Hooah ...)
So who put the stump
In my rump-ba-bump-ba-bump?
Who took and jammed it
In my ram-a-lam-a-ding dong?
Who stood the wood
Where I poop-she-poop-she-poop?
Who put the stick
Up my hipty-dipty-dip?
Who took that bush
And crammed it in my tush?
He made this angel beg for mercy, please. (Yow ...)
Each night when I'm alone,
Scratchity scratchity scratchity scratchity
Scratchity scratchity shoop ...
It sets my tiny bottom all aglow.
And every time I wiggle,
Slipty-din-de-din, slipty-din-de-din,
A little further in it goes. (Ohhh/Yeah ...)
(Rump-ba-bump-ba-bump
Ram-a-lam-a ding dong
Slipty-din-de-din
Poopity poopity shoop ...)


Tell him when l come up to him and ask to play the record, l'm gonna say: ''Voulez-vous jouer ce disque?''
'Voulez-vous, will you kiss my dick?'
Will you play my record? One-track mind!

5. Do you like eggnog?   Yes -- Southern Comfort is my favorite. Despite the brand name, it isn't alcoholic -- I occasionally mix Bailey's Irish Cream with eggnog but the flavors of whiskey or brandy mixed with eggnog has never worked for me.

Have you tried rum? I used to do brandy, but my husband was a rum person, and I discovered those flavors go better.
