1. Wrapping paper or gift bags? Wrapping paper for that traditional look. My twist on gift bags is to use containers or tins that are part of the gift and wrap with a cellophane bag and add an ornament to the bow.
2. Real or Artificial tree? Going ‘Green’ means to reuse the artificial tree each year….it’s also less mess and easier.
3. When do you put up the tree? The night before Thanksgiving. It’s a family tradition. We play Christmas music, the kids wear Santa Hats and decorate the tree, as I snap photos.
4. When do you take the tree down? New Years Night. I like a clean start to the new year.
5. Do you like eggnog? Yes, but being Lactose intolerant, I can’t have it anymore. Wah!
6. Favorite gift received as a child? Donny Osmond album!
7. Hardest person to buy for? James. He never gives me enough ideas and is hard to surprise.
8. Easiest person to buy for? Carson. She loves everything you give her.
9. Do you have a nativity scene? I did, but it broke, so next year I plan on getting the Fisher Price one, because I know Porter will play with it, so make it plastic and we’ll always have it.
10. Mail or email Christmas cards? Mail, of course! We add a yearly newsletter to those we haven’t seen in awhile and some years we do a family photo.
11. Worst Christmas gift you ever received? Nothing at all.
