Welcome to the Christmas edition of getting to know your friends.
Okay, here's what you're supposed to do, and try not to be a SCROOGE!!! Just copy and paste into a new post..Change all the answers so that they apply to you.
1. Wrapping paper or gift bags? People wrap gifts?
2. Real tree or Artificial? Artificial, but the cats still climb it!
3. When do you put up the tree? A week or two before Christmas
4. When do you take the tree down? Usually the weekend after New Year’s.
5. Do you like eggnog? Eggnog. Yummmmm. And Christmas cookies.
6. Favorite gift received as a child? I was spoiled. I can't think of a gift that was better than any of the gifts I received as a child. My parents would go to New York once a year for Dad's work, and Mom would go and spend days shopping at FAO Schwartz. My sister and I got the neatest gifts ever.
Everything from a really cool chemistry set (they don't sell them like that anymore!) to Steiff stuffed animals (oh, how I wish we had kept them in pristine shape instead of playing with them, I'd be rich! But, raggedy old stuffed animals, even Steiff, don't last forever.) Oh, and Blitzen, our dog, got him for Christmas!
7. Hardest person to buy for? My husband. He already has everything!
8. Easiest person to buy for? Our son, Andy and his fiancee' , Ashes. I lurves them!
9. Do you have a nativity scene? Yes, Several. I hope that I can find the best one in the basement of the old house somewhere, I have not seen it for a few years. I love nativity scenes!
10. Mail or email Christmas cards? Neither, however, I think I'm going to take a couple of my wintery photos and make them into Christmas cards and send them. Maybe. If I get around to it!
11. Worst Christmas gift you ever received? No Comment. Some people should just give money. Shopping is not for everyone.
12. Favorite Christmas Movie? Miracle on 42nd Street (is that the right street?)
13. When do you start shopping for Christmas? When I see something interesting. Usually on December 23rd
14. Have you ever recycled a Christmas present? You can recycle Christmas Presents?
15. Favorite thing to eat at Christmas? Bourbon Balls
16. Lights on the tree? Yes. Definitely yes.
17. Favorite Christmas song? LIttle Town of Bethlehem
18. Travel at Christmas or stay home? I would always rather be at home. But that seldom happens. SIgh.
19. Can you name all of Santa's reindeer's? Yup.
20. Angel on the tree top or star? I think currently it is a star. But it has changed thru the years. I have to get the ornament box out.
21. Open presents on Christmas Eve or morning? Christmas morning with husband and his family. Whenever we can get with Andy and Ashes to open theirs.
22. Most annoying thing about this time of the year? People seem to think that you have to do everything, go to every party, buy gifts for everyone. Too many people in too big a hurry. I hate to shop anytime of the year, but right before Christmas it is horrible!
23. Favorite ornament theme or color? Lots of colored ornaments of all types. Especially the pretty old-fashioned glass ones. I love Santas. Used to have a collection.
24. Favorite for Christmas dinner? If I had Christmas, I would cook a lovely big rib roast, Yorkshire Pudding, a potato casserole that my Mom always made that was wondrous. Cloverleaf rolls, little cinnamon rolls. Spinach casserole. Green beans. Cookies for dessert with cold, cold milk.
25. What do you want for Christmas this year? Peace and quiet. Energy. Yeah, and a sewing machine, since I'm going to be a grandmother.
26. Who is most likely to respond to this? I don't know.
27. Who is least likely to respond to this? John!
