Christmas Traditions

I read this off two of my friend's blogs and liked it so here's mine:



1. Wrapping paper or gift bags? Wrapping paper

3.When do you put up the tree? Around the 1st of December

4. When do you take the tree down? Day after Christmas. I get tired of looking at our destroyed tree by that time.

5. Do you like eggnog? Yes, but I don't drink it often because it's so fattening, which is so hypocritical because I eat so much junk anyway...go figure.
