I don't know about you, but I was tired of looking at that picture of a spider. I haven't had any further encounters with the creatures of death.

On a lighter note...

1. Wrapping paper or Gift bags? Depends on how tired I am and what I am wrapping. I do prefer wrapping paper because I like to see if I can wrap it just perfectly.

2. Real Tree or Artifical? With small children, artificial all the way!

3. When do you put up the tree? As soon as possible. Dean and I LOVE the Christmas and Thanskgiving season. This year we put it up before Thanksgiving because we went up to Washington. It was great to come back to a decorated house.

4. When do you take the tree down? Unfortunately all good things come to an end. We take it down on the first of January.

5. Do you like eggnog? Do I ever! The best I've had in the store is the Souther Comfort BLACK container. Delicious!

6. Favorite gift as a child? I remember getting a cash register.

7. Hardest person to buy for? This year it was Dean! We had a little miscommunication with gift stuff and I had to rethink my approach. I think I did find him something he'd like.

8. Easiest person to buy for? My boys! They are happy if you give them a straw!

9. Do you have a nativity scene? I do. Dean got it before we married. It sits on my dining room table.

10. Mail or Email Christmas Cards. I like to send them out and receive them in any form.

11. Worst Christmas gift you ever received. I have no idea.

12. Favorite Christmas movie. Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer with the misfit toys.

13. When do you start shopping for Christmas? Around June I start thinking about things and catelog shopping.

14. Have you ever recycled a Christmas present? Nope

15. Favorite thing to eat on Christmas? It is now a Genuine Smithfield Ham! If you have never tasted one of these you are missing out! I can't stand ham, but a Genuine Smithfield is nothing like you buy in the stores. You can get one at www.smithfieldhams.com

16. Lights on the tree? I have a prelit tree.

17. Favorite Christmas Song? Sleigh Ride -- Boston Pops

18. Travel at Christmas or stay at home? Depends on where I am travelling too.

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

20. Angel on the tree top or a Star? We have an angel right now. It may change. I don't have a preference.

21. Open the presents Christmas Eve or morning? You can open one gift on Christmas Eve, even though it is ALWAYS PJS!!!

22. Most annoying thing about this time of year? I have found the rudest people in the shopping places. It is mainly men. I think that is because they usually don't shop and don't understand there are "rules". I take that into consideration when I'm out. Lortab also helps.

23. Favorite ornament theme or color? I used to like silver and blue but I'm coming around to red and gold. That's what we went with this year.

24. Favorite Christmas Dinner? Anything I make.

25. What do you want for Christmas this year? My parents to make it here safely and ontime!

26. Who do you tag? Anyone that would like to post a response on their page. I like to read them.
