2. Real tree or artificial? I am all over the fake tree, real trees are too messy, yuck! Our tree this year is only 2 feet tall and Erik bought it for me on our first Christmas together, maybe next year we will upgrade to a bigger tree...then again maybe not.
3. When do you put up the tree? It's not an exact science, it just have to feel right!
4. When do you take the tree down? After I recover from Christmas Day.
5. Do you like eggnog? Yep I love it! My mother-in-law makes the bests eggnog...of course she only makes it on Christmas day and whenever I ask for the recipe she just laughs (there isn't a recipe).
6. Favorite gift received as a child? I would have to say that I loved the year that I got a bike! My brother Tim and I both got them and we loved them, we would race up and down the streets for hours. I also loved the year that I got "pop" guns! I loved those! (Thanks Mom and Dad.)
7. Do you have a nativity scene? I have several...Here are a couple that Erik and I picked up in Africa last year!
8. Hardest person to buy for? I don't know...my sisters maybe?
9. Easiest person to buy for? Jack...it's hard not to buy stuff for him!
10. Worst Christmas gift you ever received? I don't think I ever got a bad gift for Christmas...except maybe the year I ended up with "Head" (I tissue dispenser made from a dolls head) from the Whiting Family White Elephant Gift Exchange.
11. Mail or email Christmas cards? If I get around to doing Christmas cards they will be emailed...I know lame...next year maybe I will get around to sending real cards.
12. Favorite Christmas Movie? I love Christmas movies! Especially those cheesy made for TV Christmas movies! I just love them. Here are a few that I have in my library right now.
13. When do you start shopping for Christmas? December! If I shop any earlier than that I can't wait and end up giving the gift early (or forget that I have it and buy it again...I did that once).
14. Have you ever recycled a Christmas present? Yes! That's what White Elephant Parties are for!
15. Favorite thing to eat at Christmas? I love food! The thing that yells out Christmas to me though is Waffles with Strawberries and Whipped Cream! YUM! I can't wait for Christmas morning!
16. Clear lights or colored on the tree? Colored! I had to use this picture of the colored lights on our tree because it had my favorite Christmas Ornament on it! It has a string on the bottom and when you pull it the legs and arms go up...I loved playing with it as a kid.
17. Favorite Christmas song? Right now I would have to say that it is "The Chipmunk Song" by Alvin and the Chipmunks. I can't say for sure why I like this song except it expresses sediments similar to my own. "I just want a Hoola Hoop" and "I've been good but it won't last/ Hurry Christmas, Hurry Fast."
18. Travel at Christmas or stay home? HOME!
20. Angel on the tree top or a star? I guess you could call this an angel, I like to call it Angel Moose, or is that Mooses, Meeses, or Meesen!
21. Open the presents Christmas Eve or morning? On Christmas Morning!
22. Most annoying thing about this time of year? All of the ad's and whiny kids!
23. What I love most about Christmas? Hanging out with family, friends, and talking the reason for the season.

Hey I really am working on that eggnog - it's a work in progress. I'll be sure to let you know when I get it right.
Love the thoughts about Christmas, and that one of the Christmas ornament...it's one of my favorites. I even thought about that one this year. We had so much fun with that silly toy! Can't wait to come down and see Jack-Jack.
love ya, Alli
I love all of your nativity scenes! And no worries, we have a small tree too, it works just great. You will be happy that it's up off the floor next year when your little one is old enough to take the ornaments off the tree.
I love your tree! Ella loved it too. We hadn't put ours up yet when we came over. She liked your favorite ornament too. (I'm really glad she didn't break it). Fun Stuff!
