1. Wrapping paper or gift bags? Well, I prefer to wrap; however, when I'm being lazy I use gift bags.

2. Real tree or Artificial? Real, although I'm beginning to see the advantages of artificial (1. No watering 2. No brown ready to burn down your house by dec 25 tree 3. No vacuuming needles for weeks after Christmas)
3. When do you put up the tree? Usually the weekend of Thanksgiving; however, I still haven't gotten ours up yet.

4. When do you take the tree down? If it's real, immediately after Christmas. I'm truly afraid it's going to catch fire!

5. Do you like egg nog? Absolutely NOT! YUCK! Never have liked it, never will. I've even tried to like it for the idea of liking egg nog. I've tried adding 7-up to it and even doing half milk, half eggnog. I still can't tolerate it. Sorry guys! Hate to ruin the Christmas party!

6. Favorite gift received as a child? Geez . . . I don't know. I was very blessed with bountiful Christmas' as a child. I do remember getting a walkman once with a Cindy Lauper tape and I remember putting the headset on and singing to Cindy, "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun!" I'm sure I sounded really pretty too with headphones on - which reminds me of a game Brannon, Emily, Leming and I played really late one night - singing to the walkman and letting everyone laugh at us! We were crazy!

7. Do you have a nativity scene? Yes, a couple of them.

8. Hardest person to buy for? Ben's mom. She never likes anything anyone buys her! So, I always try to buy her something I would like hoping she'll give it back to me if she doesn't like it. That never happens though. I think Ben's sister, Sherrie, ends up with all the rejects!
