Christmas Questions

1. Wrapping paper or gift bags? Wrapping paper for sure. I've seriously always dreamed of working at the Dillard’s gift wrap counter, and this year I'm trying to get fancy with my bows.

2. Real tree or Artificial? Both have their perks, but now that I've experienced my first real tree this year, I definitely say real. Although admittedly, they are much more work, it's so much more fun and festive to have a real one.

3. When do you put up the tree? As soon as possible after Thanksgiving.

4. When do you take the tree down? A couple days after Christmas.

5. Do you like eggnog? I don’t think I’ve ever tried it, but it looks gross.

6. Favorite gift received as a child? Hmm … A James Avery charm bracelet and Puppy Surprise are 2 gifts that stand out.

7. Hardest person to buy for? I feel like everyone is hard to buy for, I’m always worried they won’t like what I get.

8. Easiest person to buy for? My nephew Reese, 3-year-olds love everything.

9. Do you have a nativity scene? No.

10. Mail or email Christmas cards? Mail for sure, I love getting Christmas cards.

11. Worst Christmas gift you ever received? I think one year someone got me a knitted Halloween sweater when I was in high school. When would I ever wear this??

13. When do you start shopping for Christmas? Last year I vowed to do a little shopping every month so I could spread it out and be done by December. What a joke! I don’t ever start until December.

28. Age you discovered who Santa was? I’m not sure my exact age, but I know it was some time in elementary school. And it was all because of the Puppy Surprise. I remember going to my mom’s trunk to get something and I saw a pink Puppy Surprise. I really wanted the black and white one because I heard they had the most puppies, so I told my mom I hope Santa knows I want a black and white Puppy Surprise. Sure enough “Santa” brought me a black and white one, so I knew she was the culprit!
