A ward member from my mission sent this to me. It is the holiday version of getting to know you! I thought that since most pass around the other one I would do this as a tag!
1. Wrapping paper or gift bags? I do both. It depends on who it is. For kids totally wrapping paper. But as a disclaimer I am the worlds WORST wrapper. I paid my sister when I was younger. She even wrapped her own a few times
2. Real tree or Artificial? We had both growing up and my mom hated the real ones and I am sure that is what made me sick every single year. But I am all about artificial with a nice pine scented candle
3. When do you put up the tree? This year I wanted to do it the day after Christmas ( YES I WANTED TO) I was excited to see how Tyler would react to it.
4. When do you take the tree down?I am sure we will be taking it down a week or so after New Years.
5. Do you like eggnog? Yes actually I do. I do like it with Sprite. Dallas likes it with milk. Last year he even made his own.... yikes
6. Favorite gift received as a child? I really don't remember a favorite. I remember getting a cabbage patch preemie though and I loved it. My mom might remember a favorite.
7. Hardest person to buy for? Dallas. He is so hard. Only because he wants big electronic stuff and specifics that I can't surprise him with much.
8. Easiest person to buy for? Tyler. I could spend way to much money on him. I have so much stuff I want to give him but see no need with all the toys he has.
9. Do you have a nativity scene? Yes. I want a willows ones some day.
10. Mail or email Christmas cards? Mail. I haven't sent any out in a while though. I am hoping to take photos soon and send them out.
11. Worst Christmas gift you ever received? Uncle Kenny rocked at getting us dumb stuff. I don't know of a "stupid" or worst gift ever.
12. Favorite Christmas Movie? Since I don't really "have" one and I haven't' really "loved" Christmas I think I will just tell you the one I saw most of my life... the night they saved Christmas!
13. When do you start shopping for Christmas? This year I started picking up things in October. I am almost done though. Now I have to plan ahead so I get things mailed out in time.
15. Favorite thing to eat at Christmas? Cheese balls my mom makes, clam dip and Dallas mushrooms....Growing up we had the Christmas cookie exchange at my moms work and that was so great. They should do that again. Oh and Aunt Ruannes oreo's
16. Lights on the tree? White. We had colored growing up..
17. Favorite Christmas song?
Bishop Sharp singing the inn keeper. And Mary did you know.
18. Travel at Christmas or stay home? we did both when I was younger. I remember driving home from Grandma Labrums in the car. I want to say Blazer but I don't know if it was that long ago. And we had Christmas eve with the Ware's
19. Can you name all of Santa's reindeer's? Yes but the song helps .
20. Angel on the tree top or a star? This year nothing. I can't find one I like so it is empty!
21. Open presents on Christmas Eve or morning? Growing up we were up as early as 4... THANK YOU BARRETT! We also did presents Christmas eve from Grandma and grandpa and mom and dad. With Ty I still think of his "birthday" the day we brought him home and plan to keep doing something every year, and he is going to open at least one present on Christmas eve.
22. Most annoying thing about this time of the year? Christmas was up before thanksgiving. There are so many things in between that make it a amazing time of year. Forgetting that giving is the real reason not the getting. And that it is about Christ not presents.
23. Favorite Ornament theme or color? My mom had gorgeous peach ones. I loved that tree. I have dark red and creme this year.
24. Favorite for Christmas dinner? Ham and turkey and mushrooms!
25. What do you want for Christmas this year? My family to be happy. A healthy year with Tyler. A prosperous year for us, family and friends. A year that we get to visit family and they come to see us more.
My most wanted gift?
That Tyler will be able to talk and walk and run.
Merry Christmas to all!

First of all, did you read that you put up your tree the day after Christmas? Really? Hmmmmmm, Second...I didn't hate the real ones, only hated that they dried up so fast and had to be taken out so early because they were a fire hazard. With an artificial tree we could enjoy it so much longer. Enjoyed your memories. I'll do more when I have time.
oh my gosh, i was surprised to see that Nancy did this!!! YAY!!! I loved reading your memories.. And yes, it's true.. Nancy paid me to wrap her presents and I did wrap my own! :)
Ok I meant Thanksgiving but it was late and whatever!! Just do it all ready
