MEME: Christmas

I saw this on StephieAnne's blog and thought it would be fun to do:

1. Wrapping paper or gift bags? If I have to wrap it then it is "gift bag" time (I wrap presents like I'm in second grade). Jay on the other hand is a totally different story. He's a fancy wrapper.

2. Real tree or Artificial? Real. Oregon is the leading producer of Christmas trees.

3. Why are you willing to answer these questions? for something fun to do

4. When do you take the tree down? Usually the day after Christmas.

5. Do you like eggnog? I can't do dairy. But my son loves it.

6. Favorite gift received as a child? My laptop

7. Hardest person to buy for? it is toss up between Jay and Tara

8. Easiest person to buy for? I'm really bad about picking gifts out for people. Jay is so much better than me at all that stuff.

9. Do you have a nativity scene? Yep. I have several of them. I love the nativity scene.

10. Do you send your card by mail or e-mail? Mail

11. Worst Christmas gift you ever received? I won't say since I know people who read this blog but don't comment. I don't want hurt feelings. But those who know me well know what it was. :)

12. Favorite Christmas Movie? ELF

13. When do you start shopping for Christmas? no certain time. Usually on Black Friday. LOL!

14. Have you ever recycled a Christmas present? Maybe. Not sure.

15. Favorite thing to eat at Christmas? sweets

16. Lights on the tree? Yep. White lights on the Christmas tree

17. Favorite Christmas song? Hmmm...changes from year to year. "I want a Hippopotamus for Christmas" or "Mary whose child is this" (not sure if that is the correct name).

18.Travel at Christmas or stay home? at home

19. Can you name all of Santa's reindeer's? probably not

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

21. Open the presents Christmas Eve or morning? We open one present on Christmas eve. We actually don't put any presents under the tree until after the kids go to bed on Christmas eve...so they wake up to presents under the tree.

22. Most annoying thing about this time of the year? All the Christmas music. After awhile it gets old (my kids like to play it all waking hours)

23. Favorite ornament theme or color? I like snowmen

24. Favorite for Christmas dinner? kind of like Thanksgiving dinner

25. What do you want for Christmas this year? well behaved kids. just teasing. :)

1. I'm an only child. I always wanted to have an older brother. When I was little I use to pretend I had an older brother.

2. I use to play tennis in high school. I was #1 singles for our team and I played year round.. Here is the irony...we have tennis court right outside our back door and I NEVER play anymore. In the 8 years we have lived here I have probably pick up my racquet to play 3 times.

3. Jay and I met 14 1/2 years ago over the internet. He was a Senior at Slippery Rock University (Pa) and I was a Senior at the U of O. We use to telnet (does anyone still do that?) to a college "talker". It was all text based. This was before computers are what they are today. People didn't have them in their homes.

4. I had our 3 kids in less than 3 years. It was crazy times when they were little.

5. I love watching TV. Probably comes from the fact that when I was 2 years old my Mom threw our TV out the window because she was frustrated with my Dad watching TV. So, I grew up withOUT a TV.

6. I'm addicted to Facebook right now. I've used myspace in the past to keep in touch with our Portland friends and family across the country. Then I got a Facebook and I've been connecting up with my highschool friends.

If you want to know more quirky things about me ...I did another MeMe last June. You can check it out here.

Okay, I tag: Jay, Tara, Jill, Raellyn, Cari, and Becky.
