Christmas Memories

1. Wrapping paper or gift bag? Wrapping paper. But I like gift bags, too. A lot of gifts get put in gift bags because I get tired of wrapping.

3. When do you put up your tree? Around Thanksgiving.
4. When do you take down your tree? Usually the week after Christmas.

10. Worst Christmas gift you’ve ever received? My 2005 & 2006 Christmas gift from my Grandma was to give me $20 dollars in November 2006 to send a gift package to starving children in Africa (yes, two Christmases, one care package) No word on the plans for this Christmas, I’ll keep you posted.
