1. Wrapping paper or gift bags? Wrapping paper. What is Christmas morning without wrapping paper all over the place?!?
2. Real tree or Artificial? Artificial. I don't want to burn my house down!! Plus my life is crazy enough as it is without having to water a dumb tree every three seconds!! Light a Salt City Christmas Tree candle, and there you have it, real Christmas tree smell!!
3. When do you put up the tree? Well... no comment!!
4. When do you take the tree down? As soon as I can get it down after Christmas. I LOVE to put it up, and I LOVE to take it down and get things back to normal. Once Christmas is over, it is OVER!!
5. Do you like Egg Nog? Some.
6. Favorite gift received as a child? When we were little, Erin and I each got a set of Love-a-bye babies. I think we played with those every Sunday for YEARS!!
7. Hardest person to buy for? Erin's husband, Mark.
8. Easiest person to buy for? Erin or my Mom.
9. Do you have a nativity scene? Yes, and it is my most favorite thing that I put up for Christmas. It belonged to my grandma. She made the ceramic set and painted it herself. It is HUGE! It is amazing.
10. Mail or email Christmas cards? Um, we don't send Christmas cards. Sorry!!
11. Worst Christmas gift you ever received? I really can't remember.

13. When do you start shopping for Christmas? Usually in October.
14. Have you ever recycled a Christmas present? Nope.
15. Favorite thing to eat at Christmas? Rodkol, Buna and Risalamong. All covered in lots and lots of gravy.
16. Lights on the tree? Yes. Pre-lit Christmas trees are the best thing ever invented!!
17. Favorite Christmas song? I really love Christmas songs. Erin's most favorite is the Christmas Shoes song. She absolutely adores that one!!
18. Travel at Christmas or stay home? We go to my parent's house in the afternoon. I refuse to go to Dan's mom's house. It is the most UNFESTIVE place EVER!! I know... mean.
19. Can you name all of Santa's reindeer? "You know Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen, Comet and Cupid and Donner and Blitzen. But do you recall the most famous reindeer of all?? Rudolph the red nosed reindeer!" I think if you can't, you had a bad childhood!-- I took this from Erin.
20. Angel on the tree top or a star? Well I bought a star after Christmas two years ago, and I was so excited to put it up, but it is too heavy and makes the top of the tree sag. SAD!!
21. Open the presents Christmas Eve or morning? I am Danish. The Danes do their big Christmas celebration on Christmas Eve so we open a few presents on Christmas Eve and then wait for Santa to come that night! SO MUCH FUN!! I think I actually like Christmas Eve more than Christmas day.
22. Most annoying thing about this time of the year? Those dumb blow up things that people put out on their lawn. And blue Christmas lights. Hmmm... I think there is a certain house up by my parent's house that is the ULTIMATE in annoying.
23. Favorite ornament theme or color? Picture ornaments. I want to have my whole kid tree full of picture ornaments showing pictures of them growing up.
24. Favorite Christmas dinner? Christmas Eve Danish feast! Turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, Rodkal, Bunacatofla all covered in lots and lots of gravy. Yum and yum!!
25. What do you want for Christmas this year? To go on a vacation without my kidlets!!
I tag Stephanie, Summer, and Angela...
