Christmas Edition meme

My mom sent this to me..so I thought I'd share with all of you..Christmas is all about giving you know!
The rules? I don't do rules...that's why my kids and animals walk all over me...If you wish to participate..then do so..copy the following questions and post the answers on your blog. If you think of it you can link back to my blog..if not..well..its no biggie..It's hard for me to be cranky around Christmas...ok..thats a lie, but I'm willing to try :P


1. Wrapping paper or gift bags? Paper...because I always forget to buy bags...you would think that because wrapping is my own personal hell I would remember...

2. Real tree or Artificial? real. It's all about the fresh, piney smell Man.

3. When do you put up the tree? 2-3 weeks before Christmas..it helps me get in the mood...like a little "Christmas Viagra" for me..

4. When do you take the tree down? I would take it down the day of Christmas..but my kids won't let me..I rip it out the day after...Yes..rip...it is a sight to behold I'm told.

5. Do you like eggnog? I never used to...then my mother in law introduced me to eggnog with RUM..and YUMMMMMMM..of course my intestines HATE eggnog...thankfully if I drink enough of the spiked kind I barely notice :-P

6. Favorite gift received as a child? what is considered "child" age? I guess Ill go with my very first SLR camera I got when I was 13...A canon AE-1...I still have it.

7. Hardest person to buy for? Mike. I suppose it Could be easy , I could just get him a gun or something along that line..but I doubt any responsible gun shop owner would sell me a firearm during the holiday season...something about the crazed look in my eyes I think.

8. Easiest person to buy for? Me. Funny how that works.

9. Do you have a nativity scene? No

10. Mail or email Christmas cards ? Mail..... little more personal

11. Worst Christmas gift you ever received? LMAO..I actually consider this the funniest...and one of the most memorable, I smile every time I think of it...Mike's Nana gave us a framed picture of Jesus one year ...and a package of steak knives :-)

A picture of Jesus AND steak knives? Is there some kind of connection that was supposed to be made between those two things? Were they replicas of the steak knives that Jesus used at the last supper? ;P

Hmm, I'll have to think about my answers so I can do this meme, too.

Hey, how did I miss this one? Must have been during the crazy Nov weeks.

Yeah, the lights on the tree thing...to me, there's no point in having a tree unless there's lights. :>
