Christmas Edition of getting to know your friends
I received the following list in an email from a friend and didn't want to continue the email chain, but wanted to respond.
- Wrapping paper or gift bags? Paper, although I hate wrapping.
- Real tree or Artificial? Artificial for sure... missing the smell, but not the needles.
- When do you put up the tree? Usually, Thanksgiving weekend.
- When do you take the tree down? 2nd week of January... 12 days of Christmas remember.
- Do you like egg nog? For sure with whiskey (diluted with milk)
- Favorite gift received as a child? Got to be the Nintendo! Years of fun and still a fan. Although the shotgun was nice too.
- Do you have a nativity scene? Yep, from Dad first Christmas after wedding. (Christ)mas remember.
- Hardest person to buy for? My Mom, but Dad's hard too.
- Easiest person to buy for? Myself, hehe... anyone who likes gift cards.
- Mail or email Christmas cards? Mail... there's something about getting cards in the mail.
- Worst Christmas gift you ever received? Probably some sweater or something I got from Grandma.
- Favorite Christmas Movie? "A Christmas Story", "you'll shoot your eye out".
- Have you ever recycled a Christmas present? Nope... I've held them for a while then donated them though.
- Favorite thing to eat at Christmas? Tough indeed... I love me some ham.
- Clear lights or colored on the tree? My preference would be clear, but wife and now child would out vote me.
- Favorite Christmas song? "Oh Holy Night" depending on how it's sung. Otherwise, "Little Drummer Boy".
- Travel at Christmas or stay home? Stay home Christmas day, but travel before and after.
- Can you name all of Santa's reindeer? Dasher, Prancer, Comet, Cupid, Donner, Blitzen, ... UHHHH... Rudolph
- Open the presents Christmas Eve or morning? Depending on family situation, but most likely morning.
- Most annoying thing about this time of year? Tough choice... consumerism, unholiness, family stress.
- Favorite ornament theme or color? Easy... all the ornaments Greg gave me over the years.
- Favorite food for Christmas breakfast? Mom's scrambled eggs would be nice, but unlikely.
- What do you want for Christmas this year? A stress free holiday season.
- Who is most likely to respond to this? Not mailing this list out for a reason. These email chains are usually just a marketing tool.
- Who is least likely to respond to this? See previous.
