I usually never do these, but..... this is for Jessie!
1. Wrapping paper or gift bags?
Wrapping paper with big ribbons. Bags make it to easy and tempting to peek.
2. Real tree or artificial?
Artificial. Some say this is horrible, but I grew up with artificial. I don't know what I'm missing I guess. Mike and I bought a tall, slim, pre-lit tree our first Christmas. I love it so much!!!
3. When do you put your tree up?
The weekend after Thanksgiving. This is necessary to get the maximum enjoyment!
4. When do you take it down?
Between Christmas and New Years. New Years day at the latest.
5. Hot Chocolate or apple cider?
Hot chocolate most definitely. It must be prepared with the famous Cocomotion!
6. Favorite gift received as a child?
Wow, I don't know. There are so many good ones. Having the swing set all set up Christmas morning was pretty amazing. How did Santa do that?
7. Do you have a Nativity scene?
Yes, a few. My mom loves them and has a ton. She let me take one my first Christmas being married.
8. Hardest person to buy for?
LeGrand. Luckily Mike drew him this year, not me. And I'm not helping!!!
9. Easiest person to buy for?
My sister Rachel. I think I've drawn her name all but one year since we've been drawing. She is so much fun to shop for.
10. Worst Christmas gift ever received?
Coal. Just kidding, I've never received a bad gift that I can remember.
11. Mail or email Christmas cards?
I definitely like receiving mailed Christmas cards with pictures. I don't send any out though. I don't think anyone but our grandparents want a picture of just Mike and I, so I'm holding out until we have a kid.
12. Favorite movie?
A Christmas Story and Christmas Vacation. Both are classics in the Button family.
13. Have you ever recycled a Christmas present?
Yes, but only ones from white elephant gift exchanges.
14. Favorite thing to eat at Christmas?
My mom's cinnamon rolls. I've already locked in a promise that she'll make them while I'm home, even if she's already made them for the neighbors.
15. Clear or colored lights?
Clear are my favorite.
16. Favorite Christmas song?
Feliz Navidad :)
17. Travel or stay home?
TRAVEL! And going to Arizona to see the fam doesn't cut it. I need I real trip like the ones we used to have. My parents have taken us on so many great holiday trips. I miss it!
18. Can you name all the Santa's reindeer?
Only when singing the song.
19. Angel or Star?
Star. Mine is too heavy for the tree though. So there is a bow on the tree and a star on the entertainment center. Sorry Mom!
20. Favorite Christmas memory?
Christmas in Mexico was by far the best!
I tag the rest of the family (and soon to be family) bloggers: Alisa, Bridget, Brooke, Cheryl, Jana, Paige, Stacey, and Susan. I can't wait to see you all next week!!!
