Christmas Trivia

I've had this sitting in my email for several weeks now. Jane Anne posted this on her blog so I decided to join in the fun and post it myself. I hope you enjoy getting to know more about what I like about Christmas.

1. Wrapping paper or gift bags? For kids gifts I usually wrap everything it's more fun to open. If it's for an adult it depends on how big a gift we are talking about. I like wrapping paper because I think it's prettier too.
2. Real tree or Artificial? I love the smell of a real tree and miss it. We are using an artificial one but hope to change back to a real tree eventually.
3. When do you put up the tree? As close to after Thanksgiving as possible. Though I have been know to put it up before Thanksgiving as well.
4. When do you take the tree down? Within a week after New Year's Day.
5. Do you like eggnog? Sometimes.
6. Favorite gift received as a child? The one I remember the most is a Cabbage Patch Kid Pony that I named Snowball.
