I've seen this on many blogs and it looked fun. So here it goes. . .

Wrapping paper or gift bags? Both! gotta shake things up a bit.

Do you have a Nativity scene? I have over twenty. I collect them.

Do you like eggnog? Oh, yes!!!!!!! A small mug of the creamy confection is a great way to wind down or top off a snack of cookies. (Yes I know it's loaded with fat, hence the small mug)

Favorite Christmas movie? It's a Wonderful Life...

...and White Christmas

Mail or e-mail Christmas cards? Mail. Just spent $75 getting them on their way. I have never been so excited to spend money on postage!

Easiest person to buy for? The Dog

Real tree or artificial? Both. But I am allergic to most scents so we do artificial. I find that the Christmas season is more enjoyable if I don't have a headache the whole time.

Angel or star on the tree top? An angel. We had a star for years, but it finally died.

Have you ever recycled a Christmas gift? Not that I can recall.

When do you take down the tree? New Year's Day.Only because Mr. Monkey Butt (scrooge) says it's time.

What is your favorite place to go at Christmas? I enjoy driving around with my family, looking at Christmas lights. Spanish Fork and Thanksgiving Point have great sights and you can stay warm in the car.

Open presents Christmas Eve or Christmas morning? Both, woo hoo! Christmas Eve we open PJ's. The rest are for Christmas Morning.

What do I love most about Christmas? The generosity that can be seen in abundance. I wish it could take place year round.
