1.What is your favorite Christmas carol? O Holy Night, Mary Did You Know?

2.What is your favorite secular Christmas song? I'm not sure -- I can't think of any. Silent Night?

3.What is your favorite Christmas movie? March of the Wooden Soldiers. It's a Christmas classic in my family's home! My Dad watched it every year with me growing up and now he watches it with my kids. *sniff*

4.What is your favorite Christmas memory growing up? The above-mentioned movie with my Dad was always special. Also driving over to my Grandparents' house on Christmas Eve. We'd listen to Christmas songs on the radio and it seems like it was always snowing!

5.Do you shop early or are you a late shopper? I used to be a last minute shopper, but over the past couple of years I have started in November and have the bulk of it done early.

6.Is your tree real or artificial? My artificial tree had to be put down and I didn't have enough to buy a nice artificial one, so it's real this year. I plan on hopefully finding a great after Christmas sale so in the future it will be fake!

7.Do you still put tinsel on your tree? NO! My Mom has this THING about tinsel. You have to put it on one thread at a time and it has to be even and perfect. I don't have that kind of patience! So instead of having her twitch at the sight of my tree, I use garland and beads.

8.Do you read the Christmas story every year on Christmas day? We read it on Christmas eve. We just started doing that 2 years ago. It always chokes me up!

9.Would you consider yourself to be a Grinch? Not at all!

10.Are you more like Scrooge or Father Christmas? Father Christmas -- even though with my budget I should be more like Scrooge! haha

11.Do you make homemade gifts for friends and family? Yes! See my last post!

12.What was the worst Christmas present you ever received? I can't think of anything bad. It's the thought!

13.What was your favorite Christmas present ever? Jesus, of course!

14.On the average how many presents do you buy for each of your kids? About a dozen and a stocking, but most of the gifts are inexpensive like books, Barbies, pajamas, etc.
