Real tree or fake tree? I LOVE the smell of real trees and had them for a while but now we have a pre-lit fake tree...mostly because of the convenience but now that I have a little person around here I'm even more glad to have a fake one. Here's the trick...light evergreen scented oils/candles in the house & it'll smell like the real thing! :)
What is your least favorite thing about the holidays? Worrying too much about the Christmas budget and losing sight of what it's really all about!
What is the one thing that you would like to see under the tree this year? BSO's (bright, shiney, objects...aka jewelry!)...just kidding, I don't really know what I want the most.
What is your favorite thing to do/build in the snow? I love to watch it fall when it's coming down in huge flakes...but I also love a good snowball fight!
What is your favorite holiday drink? Hot Chocolate...love to combine the instant stuff with instant milk to make it creamy! Yummy!!
What is your favorite holiday smell? Christmas tree!
Who is your favorite reindeer? Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner Blitzen...Rudolf! I don't have a favorite, I just love 'em all!
What is your Christmas Eve ritual? Start/Finish wrapping gifts...I rally shoul dplan ahead!
Are you a Friday after Thanksgiving shopper? NO!...although I did consider getting up for the 4:00am opening at kohls. LOL!
What is your favorite holiday food? Christmas cookies, Stuffing, Pie...I love it all!!
How did you find out that Santa wasn't real? My mom told me because she thought I already knew and was just "milking" it. Boy was that a blow! (I was actually okay with it when they told me I could help play Santa for my younger sister)
Who do you want to be under the mistletoe with? Justin!
Have you bought all your presents yet? Only one! I'd better get on it! I just got lists from most of my family today!
Do you spend Christmas with a lot of family? Yes--Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, Grandparents, Sisters, Brother's-in-law, neices, parents, hubby, daughter...anyone else want to come? :)
Do you still make snowmen and snow angels? Sure!
Do you still have snow ball fights? Always up for a good one!
What's your favorite Christmas movie? Miracle on 34th Street is sweet...but National Lampoon's Chrstmas Vacation is a classic!! LOL!
What do you plan to do for New Year's Eve? Not sure...probably nothing.
What's the most expensive thing you've ever gotten for Christmas? Digital Camera
How early do you wake up on Christmas morning? 9:00 or so?
What do you usually get in your stocking? all kinds of stuff...I get a stoking from my hubby and one from my Mom too! Little trinket stuff...candies, batteries, pencils, gift cards, Post-it Notes, Scrapbooking embellishments (eyelets, brads, Tombo's, etc), gum, mints...love it!!
What is your favorite religious Christmas carol? Well it's not really a carol, but I love the song: Jesus was Born Today ...Olson Family Favorite! (Thanks Dad!)
What is your favorite non-religious Christmas song? I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Clause...and others, It's too hard to choose.
How long do you leave up your Christmas decorations? Too long...if that's possible! I usually get them up late so I like to enjoy them before it's time to take them down. As long as they're down by February I think that's okay! :)
Consider yourself tagged!
And to get you inspired...
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
