Christmas get to know you tag...

I was tagged by my friend Kelly Dickerson. It looks like this was originally an e-mail that turned into a blog tag, so I have changed some of the wording a bit.

Welcome to the Christmas edition of getting to know your friends. Okay, here's what you're supposed to do, and try not to be a SCROOGE!!! Just copy this entire post and paste into a new post. Change all the answers so that they apply to you.

Then tag three people.'Tis the Season to be NICE!

1. Wrapping paper or gift bags? I like both, but wrapping paper is more fun to open.

2. Real tree or Artificial? Artificial - or none at all this year. My daughter is a holy terror.

3. When do you put up the tree? Thanksgiving weekend.

4. When do you take the tree down? New Years Day

5. Do you like eggnog? Ewwwwwww. I don't even like milk.

6. Favorite gift received as a child? One year I got a teddy bear that was my mom's when she was little. I liked him and named him Smokey.

7. Do you have a nativity scene? Yes, I kind of collect them. I keep my Willow Tree nativity set up all year.

8. Hardest person to buy for? Nate.

9. Easiest person to buy for? The kids. They are small enough that they don't even know what Christmas is.
