Get to know your friends at Christmas

I stole this off of Emma Kettleburns blog. Yay. These things can be so fun!

1. Wrapping paper or gift bags? Wrapping Paper, I love wrapping up presents and unwrapping them. It's so fun and gift bags are only good for certain things. I think presents should always be wrapped at Christmas.
2. Real tree or Artificial? Real, eventually we might get a fake but we don't have storage space for it now.
3. When do you put up the tree? Sometime after Thanksgiving a couple weeks before Christmas 4. When do you take the tree down? It varies but probably after New Year
5. Do you like eggnog? No
6. Favorite gift received as a child? Probably the ballerina book from my dad. It fell out of Santa's sleigh into the garage...hmmm....it was funny but its one of the only presents I really remember receiving as a kid.
