Christmas Tag!

Tagged by Gena so here goes...

1. Wrapping paper or gift bags? Can I say both? I love wrapping presents and then putting them in a gift bag (yes, I am destroying the planet one gift bag at a time...)

2. Real tree or Artificial? (Chanting...) Fake, Fake, Fake! I am too much of a neat-freak to handle dropped pine needles.

3. When do you put up the tree? The 1st December or the weekend before...

4. When do you take the tree down? Quite soon after Christmas but I leave something up for the 12 days of Christmas (don't want bad luck).

5. Do you like eggnog? Never had it but that doesn't stop me from thinking I would really dislike it.

6. Favorite gift received as a child? Barbie Campervan. I STILL remember opening it.

7. Hardest person to buy for? Parents.

8. Easiest person to buy for? Sometimes you stumble upon something you just know is perfect for someone but there's no one per se that is easy to buy for.

9. Do you have a nativity scene? No.

10. Mail or email Christmas cards? Old-fashioned snail mail.

11. Worst Christmas gift you ever received? I am too diplomatic to say here....

12. Favorite Christmas Movie? It's a Wonderful Life

13. When do you start shopping for Christmas? EARLY! (I am talking January early). I have to get everything bought, wrapped and sent by September to make Sea Mailing dates for Australia!

14. Have you ever recycled a Christmas present? Nope. Do not dig re-gifting.

15. Favorite thing to eat at Christmas? The whole traditional Christmas meal Mum makes.

16. Lights on the tree? Love lights on the tree - especially twinkly ones. I have static coloured ones on mine - bargain from Asda for about £3!

17. Favorite Christmas song? Grown Up Christmas List by Michael Buble

18. Travel at Christmas or stay home? Being with family - so I travel four miles most years to my parents and every now and then 10,000 miles back home to Australia!

19. Can you name all of Santa's reindeer's? Arrrhhhh.... there's Rudolph. And Dasher. Dancer. Prancer. Comet. Vixen............ It'll come to me...

20. Angel on the tree top or a star? I have a star but I love Angels.

21. Open the presents Christmas Eve or morning? If home in Australia, we open the presents on Christmas Eve with the Finnish-side of the family (as per the Finnish tradition) but here in England, I open them on Christmas Day morning.

22. Most annoying thing about this time of the year? Grumpiness of shoppers (including me), big crowds and being unable to find a parking space anywhere.

23. Favorite ornament theme or color? I like traditional colours (red and green) and love my fun ornaments like a koala with a santa hat, flip flops, and a girl wanting to go shopping!

24. Favorite food for Christmas dinner? ALL of it!

25. What do you want for Christmas this year? A new job and my Christmas bonus!

I tag everyone who loves Christmas!
