A Christmas Meme
.
1. Wrapping paper or gift bags?
Paper, even if i end up using black electricians tape with it, I take so much pleasure in unwrapping I can't imagine other people don't.
2. Real tree or artificial?
Artificial. seriously, the cats make enough mess with that.
3. When do you put up the tree?
Traditionally in our house 1st of December, Christmas was banned until after my birthday. Mark has put it up in October once tho. *sigh*
4. When do you take the tree down?
Late Jan, we leave it up as long as we can,
5. Do you like eggnog?
Never had it.
6. Favorite gift received as a child?
My camera, I loved it soo much I kept it for about ten years, until it became impossible to get the old 110 films developed any more.
7. Hardest person to buy for?
Everyone, some years I feel inspired and get good stuff for everyone, other years mental blank.
8. Easiest person to buy for?
Dad oddly, he should be the hardest, but we have a tradition that works.
9. Do you have a nativity scene?
Hell no. No religion in my Christmas (don't start, i know what it's about, I just refuse to play)
10. Mail or email Christmas cards?
mail, but haphazardly, i tend to send about half what I intend to.
11. Worst Christmas gift you ever received?
A box of mini perfumes, non were labelled and I strongly expect if i'd actually used one my kin would have erupted. Like Jazz I was the victim of an ex's mother in this.
12. Favorite Christmas Movie?
Die Hard 1 & Die Hard 4. I love those films.
13. When do you start shopping for Christmas?
Depends, if i'm excited then early november, if not, mid dec.
14. Have you ever recycled a Christmas present?
No, if i don't want it what makes me think anyone else would?
15. Favorite thing to eat at Christmas
Nothing in particular, it's just the whole culinary joy,
16. Lights on the tree?
hell yeah!
17. Favorite Christmas song?
Let it snow let it snow let it snow.
18. Travel at Christmas or stay home?
normally we go to one parents or the others, this year we are spending it at home, just the two of us and the cats. Woohoo. It hasn't been the same since Nanna died anyway.
19. Can you name all of Santa's reindeer's?
Dasher, Dancer, Comet, Vixen, Blitzen, Prancer, ummm, ok stumped now.
20. Angel on the tree top or a star?
Star at the moment, I always think angels must be uncomfortable. Mark threatened to put one of the cats up there this year.
21. Open the presents Christmas Eve or morning?
Christmas Morning, after breakfast.
22. Most annoying thing about this time of the year?
I work in the City Centre, and this time of year trying to get my normal stuff done at lunchtime is impossible.
23. Favorite ornament theme or color?
Every year we go to Stratford and get a couple of new ornaments from the Christmas shop. It's all in silver, blue and red at the moment but next year I might make a change.
24. Favorite for Christmas dinner?
Turkey, stuffing, sausage meat, gravy, yorkshire puddings.
