Sunday Stealing- For those who celebrate Christmas #1

 

For those who celebrate Christmas #1

 

 What’s your favorite thing about the holidays?  My favorite thing about Christmas is the Christmas

lights and music, cards, goodwill, spending time with family.  So many things.  I love giving gifts. 

Most of all, celebrating the birth of Jesus.

Do you send out Christmas cards and if so how many do you send?  I do, not as many anymore.  I 

am not even sure how many I send out.  I just go through my address book.

Be honest: holiday newsletters. Love ‘em or hate ‘em?  hate 'em, you see a lot of this stuff on 

facebook already, so it is just a letter about stuff you already know, but even if I do not see, 

things on facebook, I  still do not enjoy them.

Be honest: photo cards. Love ‘em or hate ‘em?  I love them.  We never do them, but I love

getting them.

How soon do you start shopping?  Usually right around Thanksgiving.  

Real or fake tree?  We have a fake tree, but I got a real wreath this year and it is in the house

for the fresh tree smell.

When do you put up your tree?  The day after Thanksgiving.  The outside lights go up before that.

When do you take down your tree?  January 1.  Then I clean house really good and get ready to go

back to work.

Describe your typical tree (size, decorations, type)  My tree is about 6' I guess with all kinds of

different ornaments.  My main colors are gold and burgundy as far as balls, garland and

bows, we have colored lights and then the ornaments are all colors.  Here is our tree from

this year.

What do you top your tree with?  an angel

Do you put Christmas lights outside your house?  yes

Is there a wreath hanging on your door?  yes

Do you hang up stockings?  little ones for the dogs.

Your favorite Christmas Movie(s)  It's a Wonderful Life, but have you guys seen Last Christmas?

I saw it this year for the first time and it was hilarious and sad.  I loved it.  It features of the music

of Wham and the story is so good.

Be honest: A Christmas movie you hate  I didn't hate it, but last year I watched Holiday Inn...it is 

a friend's favorite Christmas movie, so we decided to give it a try.  I didn't love it.

Favorite Christmas Song(s)  Oh Holy Night, Mary Did You Know, White Christmas

Be honest: If I hear this/these Christmas songs again I will throw up  All I want for Christmas is You.  

They just play it too much.

Give or Receive?  Give!

Eggnog or Mulled Cider?  Egg nog, but I like both.

Ham or Turkey?  We have both at Christmas, but I would prefer to just have turkey at

Thanksgiving and ham at Christmas,  but Josh does not like ham.
