1. Wrapping paper or gift bags? Wrapping paper unless I run out of time or something's an odd shape.
2. Real tree or artificial? Real is preferable, but I've got an artificial one this year.
3. When do you put up the tree? Whenever I get off my butt and get one/think about it.
4. When do you take the tree down? Around the time the needles all fall off because I forget to water it. >.> This fake tree will be around awhile, huh?
5. Do you like eggnog? YES!
6. Favorite gift received as a child? I got a lot of good gifts as a kid. Maybe my Walkman? I'm not sure
7. Hardest person to buy for? James
8. Easiest person to buy for? Mer
9. Do you have a nativity scene? Yes, but it's not up this year. It's missing an ass.
10. Mail or email Christmas cards? Mail
11. Worst Christmas gift you ever received? Decorative soap. No, I'm not joking.
12. Favorite Christmas movie? I like all the old claymation ones. A Christmas Story is classic, too.
13. When do you start shopping? Depends on the finances.
14. Have you ever recycled a Christmas present? Not a Christmas present...
15. Favorite thing to eat/drink at Christmas? Eggnog, pumpkin pie, wassail, stuffing, apple salad, mashed potatoes, dark meat turkey, apple dumplings - now I'm hungry.
16. Lights on the tree? Of course.
17. Favorite Christmas song? Traditional? Oh Come All Ye Faithful or Joy to the World, I think. I adore Christmas Canon by TSO, though.
18. Travel at Christmas or stay home? Local travel. I'd rather stay home, but it's yet to happen.
19. Can you name all of Santa's reindeer? Yes. Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Dasher, Cupid, Dancer, Donner, Rudolph, Blitzen. (Ok, I left Urs' answer in, but I could've named them.)
20. Angel on the tree top or a star? I have an angel.
21. Open the presents Christmas eve or morning? Christmas morning.
22. Most annoying thing about this time of the year? People missing the point of the holiday, myself included.
23. Favorite ornament theme or color? I like a good hodge podge.
24. Favorites for Christmas dinner? See my previous food answer. Add a green vegetable.
25. What do you want for Christmas this year? One of those exercise balls for doing sit-ups. There are several teas from Republic of Tea that I'd like to try. Um... A laptop would be nice, but that's just a pipedream for the moment.
I finally started Breaking Dawn yesterday. I'm about halfway through. I like it so far, although it's not what I expected. Believability is stretched pretty thin, but the story's okay and Jacob's being made out as less of an ass, so I'm good.
I was supposed to visit my mom today to go over some financial stuff, but she and Kenny have been sick so I'm staying away. Violent upchucking is not on my 'to-do' list.
My other brother, Chris, should be in town towards the end of the week. He spends most of his time up here running around with friends, but I'm sure I'll see him before he leaves.
Mer went to New York with her aunt and soon-to-be uncle this weekend. This is at least her second trip up there. This kid gets to go all sorts of places I haven't been. I need to travel more.

And I'm with you about the violent upchucking. Eeeeuuuuuuwww. Not for me, not if I can possibly avoid it.
Yeah, what's with it that kids get around so much more than we ever do? Hmm. More than we ever did, come to think of it, though I suppose I shouldn't complain, as I have no kids, and as I have seen both the Pacific and the Atlantic, and even Mt. Rushmore.

(You're on my to-do list ;))
& as for Breaking Dawn? I hated it for the first half. Up until... well. There's a distinct break and then I loved it. I think I was just in a crabby mood when I read it, though.

Just thought it would be nice to have you on my flist, so I added you. =D
