A very dear friend sent me the following e-mail yesterday, and it's quite cute! I actually learned some things I didn't know about myself.
Welcome to the "Christmas Edition" of getting to know your friends! Okay, here's what you're supposed to do, and try not to be a SCROOGE!!! Copy this entire e-mail and paste into a new blank e-mail that you can send. Change all the answers so they apply to you. Then, send this to a whole bunch of people you know, INCLUDING the person who sent it to you. It's the season to be cheerful!!!
1. Wrapping paper or gift bags? Wrapping Paper.
2. Tree--Real or Artificial? Usually real, but this year we’re going artificial.
3. When do you put Christmas tree up? The first weekend of December. I really can’t bring myself to put the tree up before then.
4. When do you take the tree down? Anytime before Epiphany (January 6th, 2008 – the first Sunday of the Liturgical calendar).
5. Egg Nog – Yea or Nea? Yumm-o!!! Gimme a big ol’ mug – with a little shot of brandy!
6. Do you have a nativity scene? We have two – one for the living room chest and one for the girls - but we'll probably get another one this year.
7. Favorite gift received as a child? Do I really have to decide?!?!
8. Hardest person to buy for? My Father.
9. Easiest person to buy for? Jillian.
10. Worst Christmas gift? If I named the gift, that person would get their feelings bent-out-of-shape.
11. Mail or email a Christmas Card? Mail.
12. Favorite Christmas movie? It’s a tie between A Charlie Brown Christmas and How the Grinch Stole Christmas. I love them both equally!
13. When do you start shopping for Christmas? Usually early November. Since Emily has a November birthday, I get both done at once.
14. Have you ever recycled a Christmas present? No.
15. Favorite food to eat on Christmas? Slab of Beast!!! Unless we are both sick as dogs, I make a prime rib, mashed potatoes, corn casserole, and some other yummy stuff.
16. Clear or colored tree lights? Clear.
17. Favorite Christmas Song? I don’t really have one favorite, but I like Little Drummer Boy.
18. Travel during Christmas or Stay home? I really love staying home for days in my PJs, but we’re traveling to visit Adam’s family in NY the day after Christmas.
19. Can you name Santa's reindeers? Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner, Blitzen, Rudolph.
20. Angel or Star on Tree top? Star.
21. Open presents on Christmas Eve or morning? We open one present on Christmas Eve, and then everything else Christmas Day.
22. Most annoying thing about this time of year? The fact that retailers insist on putting out Christmas decorations before Halloween! There really needs to be an amendment saying that retailers are not allowed to begin putting up decorations before Thanksgiving.
