CHRISTMAS QUIZ

- feel free to copy & paste then ring the changes!

WRAPPING PAPER OR GIFT BAGS?

Usually wrapping paper but occassionally gift bags, if they're really cute & not too pricey!

REAL TREE OR ARTIFICIAL?

Artificial, rather sadly! Can't be bothered to find & buy a real 'tree' year after year...

WHEN DO YOU PUT UP THE TREE?

Sometimes never! Well, only if we're away...this year I got it up nice & early, by the 1st!

WHEN DO YOU TAKE THE TREE DOWN?

No set time actually...We're often away so it'll be as soon as we're back & unpacked, otherwise early January...is there actually an 'official' date???

FAVORITE GIFT RECEIVED AS A CHILD?

Nothing springs to mind...did have some cool toys though...could have got them as Christmas gifts...certainly Christmas or Birthday as there were no treats in between in 'the old days!'


HARDEST PERSON TO BUY FOR?

Men in general, as I refuse to go the socks or underpants route!

EASIEST PERSON TO BUY FOR?

All the kids...they certainly let me know EXACTLY what they want...it's just a matter of what I can afford as the list goes on & on...

DO YOU HAVE A NATIVITY SCENE?


No, I'd love a hand-carved wooden one but they seem impossible to find. My parents own a beautiful one that I remember from my childhood Christmases...hopefully it will find it's way back to me one day.

MAIL OR EMAIL CHRISTMAS CARDS?

This is hubby's job! Strange but true...he is a WAY better correspondent than I am, he sends e mails & skypes people regularly.

The Holiday...we plan to watch it every Christmas Eve from now on... J.U.S.T. T.O.O. C.U.T.E...

HAVE YOU EVER RECYCLED A CHRISTMAS PRESENT?

Who hasn't?!

WHEN DO YOU START SHOPPING FOR CHRISTMAS?

In July, once all 6 of our birthdays are over...

FAVORITE THING TO EAT AT CHRISTMAS?

Chuckles...okay, that's more like January - December, lol! Christmas food doesn't really do it for me but we do treat ourselves to a coupla jars of marinated artichokes, mmm...yum...

LIGHTS ON THE TREE?

Hundreds!

Joy to the World!

ANGEL ON THE TREE TOP OR A STAR?

A beautiful gold angel on the BIG tree & a cute l'il gold star on the small one...yes, we have 2 trees...can't have too much of a good thing!

OPEN THE PRESENTS CHRISTMAS EVE OR MORNING?

We have to wait for Santa to deliver the gifts you know! Morning ;-)

MOST ANNOYING THING ABOUT THIS TIME OF THE YEAR?

The fact that criminals don't take a holiday...in fact, they're out in full force here, working double shifts!

FAVORITE ORNAMENT THEME OR COLOR?

Red, gold & green...nothing else will do. Mad about stars & snowmen. (They're cute...)
