Here is the second of two tags... This Christmas one is from Sara and the one below about the picture is from Elisse... I don't usually do these but since I am a "self proclaimed chrismas-aholic now, I guess I better do it! :)
Christmassy Tag!
Welcome to the Christmas edition of getting to know your friends. Okay, here's what you're supposed to do, and try not to be a SCROOGE!!! Change all the answers so that they apply to you. And tag a few friends to spread the Christmas joy!
1. Wrapping paper or gift bags? Wrapping Paper! I love to wrap presents and see how many different ways I can do the ribbon and bows
2. Real tree or Artificial? I wanted an artificial tree, but Jed was determined to have a real one. It is already dying, but at least its pretty still.
3. When do you put up the tree? I wanted to do it back in November, but Jed made me wait until the first week of December.
4. When do you take the tree down? I don't know... I've never had a Christmas Tree before so I guess I'll find out this year. Since mine is already dying, probably right after new years If I can make it last that long
5. Do you like eggnog? Eww... NO
6. Favorite gift received as a child? I don't even know... My parents have always gotten us really fun gifts so there are too many to choose from
7. Hardest person to buy for? Dad's are hardest. Mine and Jed's!
8. Easiest person to buy for? Kids in General.. and my nieces and nephews. My sisters are pretty easy too
9. Do you have a nativity scene? No, but Joanne just gave us this gorgeous figurine of Mary, Joseph and baby Jesus made out of wood. Its really pretty! Thanks Jo!!! :)
10. Mail or email Christmas cards? Neither yet... maybe once we have kids I'll get on the Christmas letter train
11. Worst Christmas gift you ever received? I second Sara's notion on the weird socks because I got the same ones.... however I will admit to wearing mine all winter long a few years! Now I'm married and that would just be embarrassing...:)
12. Favorite Christmas Movie? Elf DEFINITELY! Jed and I watched it when we put up our tree...
13. When do you start shopping for Christmas? This year I started in November. Usually I'm a last minute shopper though... thankfully this year I'm almost done!
14. Have you ever recycled a Christmas present? I know I haven't, but my sister gave me a sweater once for Christmas that I gave her for her birthday without remembering... that was funny
15. Favorite thing to eat at Christmas? Sara's answer is my answer Our Swedish Christmas Eve dinner. FarMor (my swedish grandma) used to make it for us, and when she passed away, my mom took over and we all help now (We have Swedish Meatballs, Mashed Potatoes, usually ham but this year we are having turkey, jello, and my FAVORITE cut up dill pickles. Sara and I have a very funny picture of me eating a pickle... we usually need 2 jars because we eat the first one while we are cutting them up) Then on christmas morning we have a very yummy brunch - this really delicious fruit mix (it's a frozen fruit thing my mom makes, defrosted with 7-up, sliced bananas, and some fresh fruit), muffins, eggs, bacon, etc. I just love Christmas!!
16. Lights on the tree? Of course!!
17. Favorite Christmas song? Im not usually a fan of christmas music except the day of, but I love anything Josh Groban... and my favorite christmas song right now is Believe by Josh Groban (its on the polar express)
18. Travel at Christmas or stay home? Stay at home. That's what Christmas is!!
19. Can you name all of Santa's reindeer's? YES! Everyone knows the song...
20. Angel on the tree top or a star? Neither yet... I'm working on that
21. Open the presents Christmas Eve or morning? Sara's Answer- When FarMor was alive, we used to open all the presents from them on Christmas Eve (the presents from Tomten the Swedish Santa). But now we just open one present, usually jammies on Christmas Eve. And the rest are Christmas morning.
22. Most annoying thing about this time of the year? Bad traffic, angry shoppers, lines... and weight gain!
23. Favorite ornament theme or color? My tree is Red and Silver... all my presents under the tree are silver and blue... with a little red and gold mixed in
24. Favorite for Christmas dinner? We don't really do Christmas dinner, since we have such a big Christmas Eve dinner and brunch in the morning.
25. What do you want for Christmas this year? Uh... nothing... I asked Santa for Clinique Happy Heart Perfume... We'll see if Santa remembers ;)

Yay, thanks for doing the post christmas-aholic! :-) So, which sister gave you the sweater? I don't remember that happening! I know it couldn't have been me, because I always buy &/or make everyone gifts... and I try to make them personalized. But now I'm nervous that I had a bad year or something that I don't remember!!! Eek!
oh and p.s. I am so looking forward to the pickles again this year... yummy!!!
Kerstin, you have officially made both me and sara nervous and about that sweater business....
