1. Do you decorate things with strings of lights? If so, describe what you do with them.
Put lights around the windows, and sometimes the bushes outside. Then string them around the fish tank, and anything else that I feel like "lighting" LOL. I love lights!!
2. Fake Christmas Tree or a Real One, or none. What size tree? If a real one, what kind?
Used to do real trees, but later thought we lose enough trees in this world as it is, so got a fake one, and use it every year now. It's about 7' tall.
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.)
I have a lot of hand crafted balls, with pictures on them, some with pictures in glitter, some are clear but filled with reflective paper, then I toss in a few glossy ones (purple too), use one long string wrapped around of garland, not too much, I pick a different color every year, this year I went for the Silvery reflected snowflake shaped stuff (sounds tacky yeah, but it looks cool against the lights actally). Use all sorts of ornaments, from hand crafted, to glass blown... And of course two strings of multicolored lights, each with a turn dial that features 12 different light settings and blinkings/fadings [img]smile.gif[/img]
4. Have pets who want to eat the tree?
Yes. My cat thinks it is real and wants to eat the branches. Also likes to hide underneath it for those fun ambushes at 7:00am in the morning!
5. What do you do with the Christmas cards you receive?
I have double doors that divides the kitchen and the living room, and they have these slats where cards fit perfectly [img]smile.gif[/img]
6. What will you be eating on Christmas Day?
Have family coming over with two pork roasts, one I will make and one an Aunt will make (she said she was making cranberry pork loin??) bleh, sounds odd, who knows maybe it is good. All I know is my terriyaki soy pork roast will be the frikken winner! LOL, the competition is ON! [img]tongue.gif[/img]
7. Do you have a lot of people to buy gifts for?
About 5 people, none of which will give me a clue as to what to get them, bad idea that, cause who knows what I will end up buying for them!
8. Does anyone ask you for a Christmas list or do you just get what you get?
My mom does, but I never know what to say. I mean, I buy all small things I need for myself on my own, and nobody is going to buy anything hugely expensive, so.... beats me! Usually I just tell my parents "a sweater" to make it easy on them, then regret it later (as I ALWAYS think of tons of stuff I could have asked for when Christmas is over LOL!) [img]tongue.gif[/img]
9. What DO you want for Christmas this year? Think you are going get it LOL?
LOL, not enough money, and no..
10. Do you like Fruitcake?
No way, it's pretty to look at, but another story to actually eat!
11. Do you get some days off from work/school during the holiday season?
Well I get Christmas day off, I'm going to try to get the Thursday and Friday after Christmas off, whether I'll be successful re that is still up in the air at this point.
12. Is Dr. Seuss or the Peanuts a regular visitor to your TV during Christmastime?
Yes I love the Grinch (and Dr. Seuss in general), and also like to see the Peanuts when they make their yearly appearance on TV, it's a kind of a tradition [img]smile.gif[/img]
13. Are you an early shopper or a last minute shopper?
Ack, I start early I swear! But I end up last minute shopping as well! So I'm both I reckon [img]tongue.gif[/img]
14. What is your weather? Do you think you will have a white Christmas?
Rarely do we ever get a white Christmas, we get cold weather and snow, but it just never hits on Christmas (I'd say I've seen it snowing on Christmas two times in my life here).
Merry Christmas
Well Merry Christmas to You Too LadyZ!
