Christmas Survey

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 change all the answers so that they apply to you. 'Tis the Season to be NICE!

1. Wrapping paper or gift bag? I'm all about both. Some presents, especially kids toys come in awkward shaped boxes, so I prefer to stick them in a gift bag instead of trying to wrap it neatly. 2. Real tree or artificial? We have an artificial prelit tree, but I do love the smell of real ones.
3. When do you put up your tree? Sometime the weekend after Thanksgiving
4. When do you take down your tree? Sometime after New Years.
5. Do you like eggnog? I hate it, but I think Rob is a fan. But we never buy it. I'm more of a Sparkling Cider fan during the holidays.
6. Favorite gift received as a child? Teddy Ruxspin!
