I found this over at Pete’s, and thought it looked like fun. OK, I couldn’t think of anything to post LOL

1. Wrapping paper or gift bags? – Wrapping paper, taking something out of a bag just isn’t the same as unwrapping it. Having said that, putting the things into the bags probably doesn’t take as long as wrapping.

2. Real tree or artificial? – I prefer a real one, but we have gone for the fake variety due to the needle problem.

3. When do you put up the tree? – Today, December 14th!

4. When do you take the tree down? - January 5th

5. Do you like eggnog? – I’m not sure what it is, but it doesn’t sound like something I would enjoy.

6. Favorite gift received as a child? – I can’t remember anything specific. I do recall liking the smaller gifts more than my main presents though, I think it was because I usually knew what the main presents would be, but the stocking fillers were a surprise.

7. Do you have a Nativity scene? – Yes, my MIL bought it for us. It’s the source of some amusement because we like to arrange the figures imaginatively.

8. Hardest person to buy for? – Male people over the age of about 10, it’s always been a problem.

9. Easiest person to buy for? - The dogs, they’re happy no matter what they get.

10. Worst Christmas Gift you ever received? – The strange work colleague my ex-husband invited to Christmas dinner because he felt sorry for him. I can see why he was alone, somehow he managed to be both tedious and eccentric, and also didn’t know when to leave. He also complained because we had turkey not chicken, which I thought was very rude.

11. Mail or email Christmas cards? – Don’t mind

12. Favorite Christmas Movie? – Its a Wonderful Life.

13. When do you start shopping for Christmas? – December, I try for November but it never works out.

14. Have you ever recycled a Christmas present? – Yes. Many years ago, an acquaintance gave me a present unexpectedly, so I gave her a pair of (unworn) earrings someone had bought me the year before – I didn’t like them, it was no great loss.

15. Favorite thing to eat/drink at Christmas? – Christmas dinner, Stilton, dates (love them), Bailey’s Irish Cream – although nowadays, the latter always makes me think of Old Greg from The Mighty Boosh.

16. Clear lights or coloured on the tree? – Either/both

17. Favorite Christmas song? - The Pogues and Kirsty McColl doing Fairytale of New York. Greg Lake’s I Believe in Father Christmas is good too.

18. Travel at Christmas or stay home? – Stay at home

19. Can you name all of Santa’s reindeer? – Dancer, Prancer, Dundar, Blitzen, Vixen, Dopey, Sleepy, Bashful, John, Paul, George and Ringo.

20. Angel on the tree top or a Star?- A star

21. Open the presents Christmas Eve or Christmas morning? – Christmas morning – although Mr Blogs and I often cheat and open a couple on Christmas Eve. Sssh, don’t tell anyone.

Updated to add: I won’t tag anyone, so if you want to have a go . . .
