<font color="FF33CC">Just our Christmas tree. We only have them on occasionally, though, when we're opening presents or I'm feeling particularly festive though. We're not really into leaving them on all night and all day when no one's home then whining when the house burns down ;) </font>

<font color="FF33CC">Not too many.</font>

8. Does anyone ask you for a Christmas list or do you just get what you get?

9. What DO you want for Christmas this year? Think you are going get it LOL?
<font color="FF33CC">LOL what I actually wanted was one of those mobile phones you take pictures with. But no one would buy me one :( </font>

Thank you! [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Yup, outside on my evergreen foundation shrubs. I use the C9 size (large), clear multicolored bulbs.

five foot fake fir [img]smile.gif[/img]

Nothing a cat can eat, destroy or severely damage! LOL I use wooden (painted) ornaments, metal or resin and a few plastic ones. No lights on the tree (cat chews the little bulbs...sigh...and he knocks the tree about at least a few times each year!), but I do have an angel on the top.She's made of plastic canvas and yarn and is quite lovely. [img]smile.gif[/img]

No icicles, the cats would eat them. But some of the metal ornaments are bright, shiny gold.

[img]graemlins/kittynow.gif[/img] Uh, yah, that would be Merlin, the Magnificent Tree Molesting Cat! ;) He chews the ends of the fake branches!

Used to hang them up with a little string and clips, but mostly I set them out on a cabinet to look at during the season now.

Turkey or Ham, most likely.

Quite a few, mostly family and several friends.

My dad used to and one friend and her mom do.

Well, I want for my beloved Jim to find work so we can begin our wedding plans,but I'm not sure that will happen by Christmas. He's working hard at it, though! :D

Blech! But I bought one for a friend's mom. Dang that thing weighs a ton! I think I could knock out Godzilla with it! ;) :D

Yup, I'm taking a few days off.

The classic Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer and How the Grinch Stole Christmas (which was on tonight!) are almost always seen at least once!

I PREFER to shop all year 'round. Most often, though I finish around the end of November or early December.

HAHAHAHAHAHA! We already had snow, just got a few more inches and I dare say we'll see more before Christmas! :D

1. Do you decorate things with strings of lights? If so, describe what you do with them.
<font color=skyblue>The tree is decorated with lights, of course, and the bushes outsides as well. The roof wasn't done this year, though. </font>

2. Fake Christmas Tree or a Real One, or none. What size tree? If a real one, what kind?
<font color=skyblue>Real one, of course. There's nothing like that pine tree smell. [img]smile.gif[/img] I think the tree is about 7 feet tall.</font>

3. What kinds of decorations do you use on the tree? (garland color, icicles yay or nay, ball colors, ornaments, angel or no angle at the top, etc.)
<font color=skyblue>Lots of ornaments, of all varieties and all colors. There's always some that were homemade by me or my brother, and my mother has bought special ornaments for us to have to remember this by when she dies. No angel because there's no room. </font>

4. Have pets who want to eat the tree?
<font color=skyblue>Well, our cat hasn't been messing with the tree this year, but he really enjoys trying to knock the little candy cane ornaments that are on the tree. [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img] </font>

5. What do you do with the Christmas cards you receive?
<font color=skyblue>My parents put them on the wall. We usually fill up a good portion too. It's nice to look at it.</font>

6. What will you be eating on Christmas Day?
<font color=skyblue>Probably ham. Hopefully cheesecake as well. ;) </font>

7. Do you have a lot of people to buy gifts for?
<font color=skyblue>I don't buy presents because I'm poor. Everyone once in a while I surprise my family, but I don't think this year is one of those years.</font>

8. Does anyone ask you for a Christmas list or do you just get what you get?
<font color=skyblue>I always get asked, but I never have a list. I pick out what I want when I get asked, so I always know what I'm getting.</font>

9. What DO you want for Christmas this year? Think you are going get it LOL?
<font color=skyblue>Well, the one thing I really want, I won't get. I asked for the NWN Collector's Edition, and I'll get that, which isn't bad, I suppose. </font>

10. Do you like Fruitcake?
<font color=skyblue>It's an evil concoction spawned in the lower circles of hell. That's a no, by the way. :D </font>

11. Do you get some days off from work/school during the holiday season?
<font color=skyblue>Of course. Wouldn't have it any other way.</font>

12. Is Dr. Seuss or the Peanuts a regular visitor to your TV during Christmastime?

<font color=skyblue>I hate shopping. I am a guy, after all. [img]smile.gif[/img] So, last minute, if at all.</font>

14. What is your weather? Do you think you will have a white Christmas?
<font color=skyblue>Right now there's no snow, but I'm sure there will be for Christmas. It is Michigan, after all. [img]smile.gif[/img] </font>
