Holiday Survey

In keeping with the holiday spirit, here is a survey I saw on http://domesticgoddessconfession.blogspot.com/


1. Wrapping paper or gift bags?
Wrapping paper.  Although I do have a tendency to love making gift baskets

2. Real tree or Artificial?
Artificial.  It's not messy, no need to check the water, and it's cost-effective.

3. When do you put up the tree?
The first week/weekend of December

4. When do you take the tree down?
The day or so after Christmas, depending on work schedules.

5. Do you like eggnog?
LOVE eggnog, but I haven't allowed myself to buy it this year.  Since B doesn't like it, I know I could easily consume a carton in a couple days (sickening, I know)

6. Favorite gift received as a child?
Hmm...every year I receive amazing gifts!  Off the top of my head right now, I'd have to say these horse jumps for my toy horses (I was OBSESSED with horses when I was younger and would often play "horse" by running around and jumping things in the yard)

7. Do you have a nativity scene?
No, but one of these years I'd love to have the Willow nativity scene.

8. Hardest person to buy for?
My MIL
