1. *The tree gets fairy lights, but I draw the line at stringing lights outside! The kids have twinkly lights year-round in their bedrooms.

2. *Real. Usually about 6 ft. Kind? a pretty one that isn't either sprayed green (nasty habit of stores to try to defraud customers) or spiky. We also have a 2' Norfolk pine inside that stays year-round as a houseplant.

3. *Well, at this point we have so many ornaments from years gone by, that we pick and choose. And I get a new 'special' ornament every year regardless of whatever ones we may also get/make. But definitely balls (younguns are old enough we can go back to glass ones! yay!) frosted glass star on top (retired the porcelain angel), a few my gr-grandma made, and asst other ornaments.

4. *Well, the cat enjoys the ornaments....

5. *Hang them on the door/doorway

6. *Depends on what everyone gets up and fixes!

7. *Not really...we try to make sure all the younguns (nieces and nephew and ours) have presents, but I like to handcraft goodies and try to do so for the adults--sisters are both busy and so, for example, I like to make fix-quick brownie or other edible 'mixes' they can whip up homemade yummies in a fraction of the time.

8. *Anyone who knows us/me pretty much knows what I like, so a list isn't really necessary. I mean, people ask what I want, but it's not usually an issue.

9. *I want an Aerosmith cd...which a co-worker has already got for me [img]smile.gif[/img] and Icewind Dale II. Other than that, I know I'll get the Robinson Traditional Present for Mom, a pair of pink slippers....and all kinds of other really cool (and some goofy, no doubt) gifts. [img]smile.gif[/img]

10. [i]*I LOVE fruitcake!!! Everyone, send yours to me![/i}

11. *Technically, we have the 24th to the 2nd off, but I'll come in at least half time by choice.

12. *The Grinch, for sure!

13. *both

14. *It's raining right now, but we usually have some white except for the last few years...

Merry Christmas [img]smile.gif[/img]
