Since Sixty tagged me, I guess I should get busy on this one.  Being I’m still dealing with the whole combined Christmas/birthday thing it’s probably for the best that I don’t think too hard.

Rules for the game include:

1) Link to the person that tagged you, and post the rules on your blog.
2) Share Christmas facts about yourself.
3) Tag 7 random people at the end of your post, and include links to their blogs.
4) Let each person know that they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.

Welcome to the Christmas edition of getting to know your friends.

1. Wrapping or gift bags? If it fits in a bag, it goes in a bag because I’m lazy and hate wrapping

2. Real or artificial tree? Fake

3. When do you put up the tree? If family is coming here, I’ll get it up right after Thanksgiving, if not, then it might make it up before the big day, or not. This year I didn’t bother with a tree because we went to my parents for the holiday.
4. When do you take the tree down? When I get around to it, which is why I didn’t bother putting one up.

5. Do you like eggnog? Yep, but not drinking any this year….diet ;/

6. Favorite gift received as a child? My brother and I got a complete Planet of the Apes village one year, think we played with that more than anything.

7. Do you have a nativity scene? No.

8. Worst Christmas gift you ever received? This year, I got a subscription to Reader’s Digest from a friend that I haven’t seen in 2 years. WTF?

9. Mail or email Christmas cards? Mail, I have most of them sent, but there are a few odd ones that usually get forgotten

10. Favorite Christmas Movie? “A Christmas Story”

11. When do you start shopping for Christmas? I can start around August, depends on seeing things that I know people would like, but there’s always at least one last minute thing that I have to run out and get or finish.

12. Favorite thing to eat at Christmas? Chocolate covered cherries. My grandfather used to buy us each a box of them for the holidays, and it’s stuck with me.

13. Clear lights or colored on the tree? clear

14. Favorite Christmas song? I really don’t have one, I worked in a small radio station when I was in high school and had to work the Christmas shift two years in a row. I really don’t want to hear that stuff and avoid it if at all possible.
