Wrapping Paper. Each side of the family has coordinating paper so I can tell them apart under the tree. The boys also get to pick their wrapping paper for the year. Caden picked Cars this year, but realized we had Thomas leftover from last year so they got a little of both. Carter is too little to pick!
2. Real or artificial tree?
Artificial, we used to have a real growing up, but Cory changed me and I am so glad he did!
3. When do you put up the tree?
Try to the first weekend in December. So we can enjoy it the entire month!
4. When do you take the tree down?
New Years Day, Cory is home and can help:)
5. Do you like eggnog?
Not really, although I might have to try this chocolate egg nog Becky and Mandy are raving about!
6. Favorite gift received as a child?
I remember pictures of my Strawberry Shortcake Kitchen, it looked so fun! I remember always being so excited about what I received, but I only really recall one gift - getting New Kids on the Block tickets...that was so awesome!!!
7. Do you have a nativity scene?
yes, my mother in law got it for me our first Christmas, I love it! But I really want the Little People Nativity so the kids can have one too!
8. Hardest person to buy for?
Cory and his Dad, they just buy what they want throughout the year anyway, and when you ask them what they don't know what to tell you!
9. Easiest person to buy for?
Everyone else, we have lists we pass around! That is so much better than guessing!
10. Worst Christmas gift you ever received?
Sorry Cory to bring it up again, but that grease splatter screen our first year married was pretty bad!
11. Mail or email Christmas cards?
Definitely mail, I love getting everyone's pictures and letters. It is one of my favorite things about the holidays.

22. Most annoying thing about this time of year?
The hustle and bustle, I like to just be and enjoy time with my family.
23. Do you decorate your tree in any specific theme or color?
Sort of...there are clear lights and gold, green, and red ribbon with Joy on it, then random ornaments that I have collected since we have been married.
24. What do/did you leave for Santa?
Depends on who is playing Santa - if it is at my house a piece of pie and milk , with a note...if it is at Cory's house, cookie or candy, milk, and a note.
