X-Mas Meme
Didja know the abbreviation "X-mas" started way back in the 13th century? At any rate, here is a holiday enema. Er, meme.
1. Wrapping paper or gift bags? Gift bags are awesome for crappy wrappers, of which I am admittedly one. However, they also take away the fun of unwrapping. You open a bag. Ta. Da.
2. Real tree or Artificial? Actually, artificial. Real trees are such a nightmare to keep alive throughout the season.
3. When do you put up the tree? Don't really have a "time". It goes up when I get around to it. In fact, living by myself, I don't usually put one up at all.
4. When do you take the tree down? Same thing. When I get around to it. After New Year's.
5. Do you like egg nog? Eh. It's okay. I don't hate it, but won't go out of my way for it, either.
6. Favourite gift received as a child? Evil Knievel Stunt Van, baby!!
7. Do you have a nativity scene? Nope. Sheeps does. And all the characters, except for baby Hay-soos, are sheep. Naturally. Nuther bit o trivia - Animals in the manger are another 13th century invention. Bible says nuttin' about 'em.
8. Hardest person to buy for? Me. I'm a schmuck. I won't tell you what I want or need. That's not entirely true... I'll usually tell folks my needs, such as socks and new underoos, but I neveer get 'em. People must think I'm kidding....
9. Easiest person to buy for? Again, me. I am pretty much content with any gift, even socks and underwear...
10. Mail or email Christmas cards? Neither. I'm horrible about that kind of stuff. I actually usually buy a box of cards, and leave it sit around without even opening the damen thing.
11. Worst Christmas gift you ever received? Can't really say. Probably something my sister D gave me. Her heart is in the right place, but sometimes her gifts make you stop and go "huh?"
12. Favorite Christmas movie? Christmas Story! "You'll put your eye out, kid!"
13. When do you start shopping for Christmas? Whenever. I shop for gifts year 'round.
14. Have you ever recycled a Christmas present? Errrr. I don't think so?
15. Favourite thing to eat at Christmas? I dunno. Cookies?
16. Clear lights or colored on the tree? I'm colorblind. What do you think?
17. Favourite Christmas song? Don't really have a fav. Truthfully, I'm a bit tired of carols. Sheeps has a beautiful voice, but standing around for hours on end, waiting for her to finish a gig, one gets kind of sick of them....
18. Travel at Christmas or stay home? Well, being that I have no family within 50 miles (even Sheeps lives 130 miles away...), travel is almost always required.
19. Can you name all of Santa's reindeer? Yes. Who can't?
20. Angel on the tree top or a star? Angel. Does anyone actually use a star?
21. Open the presents Christmas Eve or morning? Morning is just fine, thanks.
22. Most annoying thing about this time of year? The commercialism. The lack of manners. The crowds.
23. Favourite ornament theme or colour? Blue. I see blue reeeeeal good! Unfortunately, everything is green and red, with, together, really screws with my vision.
24. Favorite thing for Christmas dinner? Yes. I love it all. What other meal, other thank TG, are you going to have 2-3 entrees, 20 sidedishes, 6 kinds of dessert, and free reign to eat all you want?
25. What do you want for Christmas this year? Surprise me. See? Told ya.
26. Who is most likely to respond to this? Whoever.
27. Who is least likely to respond to this? Whomever.

I'm right there with you on the socks and underwear thing. As soon as I made it known that I would actually appreciate them as gifts, nada.
