1. Wrapping paper or gift bags?
Wrapping paper. It's more satisfying to open.
2. Real tree or artificial?
I love real ones, though my roommate Shannon and I had a fake one when we were super broke all the time. It came with lights on it already and was something like $15 at the Walmart.
3. When do you put up the tree?
Sometime in December. I don't really have a schedule for these things.
4. When do you take the tree down?
Whenever the mood strikes, usually after New Years.
5. Do you like eggnog?
I love it, but I usually cut it with milk and add more nutmeg.
6. Favorite gift received as a child?
MY BIKE.
7. Do you have a nativity scene?
I had one in my house when I was a kid, but there will be no nativity in my house.
8. Hardest person to buy for?
Mom and Dad. They both have things they like, but they're not really giftable.
9. Easiest person to buy for?
My roommate Woody. Shopping for him is like shopping for myself.
10. Worst Christmas gift ever received?
An extremely over-sized flannel nightgown. Really? Really?
11. Mail or E-mail Christmas card?
I prefer mailed ones, though Billie and I haven't gotten around to doing it yet.
12. Favorite Christmas movie?
Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, the claymation one.
13. When do you start shopping for Christmas?
Before Thanksgiving if I remember to.
14. Have you ever recycled a Christmas present?
I always end up with multiple bath sets (you know, salts, body wash, glycerin soap, a bath foofy that all match) and I always end up giving those away.
15. Favorite thing to eat at Christmas?
My dad always makes prime rib on Christmas, and any meat my dad touches automatically turns into gold.
16. Clear lights or colored on the tree?
Colored! Waaay more fun.
17. Favorite Christmas song?
I like Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, or most other secular songs. As for non-traditional ones, U2's version of Baby Please Come Home is amazing, and Bruce Springsteen has some great holiday songs, too.
18. Travel at Christmas or stay home?
Stay home. I'll travel for other holidays, but if someone wants me to fly out to their house so that I can crash on the couch, they can blow me.
19. Can you name Santa’s reindeer?
Yes, but only if I sing them in song form.
20. Do you have an angel on top of the tree or a star?
We've got a crappy star that we got at Walmart the same day we got the old fake tree. It's pretty tacky, and doesn't really fit the top of the tree, so it's always tilted, but no one has the energy to get a new topper.
21. Open presents Christmas Eve or Christmas morning?
Usually Christmas morning, though I usually get a few early when we exchange with various friends.
22. Most annoying thing about this time of year?
Shopping and worrying about how much you're buying for who and will someone be offended because they're gift isn't as good, oh, and when workers get trampled to death!

Dude, you managed to fit "blow me" into a meme about Christmas. You might be my new hero. Well done.
Gf has a Rudolph claymation still shot as her cell phone wallpaper. Such a classic.
Hahah! Thanks, greg!
Trust me on this; you are NOT the only one to get a nightgown. I was 20, it was red, ankle legnth, and had a giant, sleepy Tweety Bird on it from tit to puss. I was speechless.
And prime rib. Mmmmm. I'm ashamed to say I made a four pound roast last year, just for me.....until the dog got it off the counter while it was tented and resting. I still remind him about it, and he still really doesn't care....
hey, i know its a bit past christmas now but i thought i'd comment anyway cuz i love this QandA!! hope the new year is going well for you :)
