Christmas Meme
Wrapping paper or gift bags?
If it can go in a bag and look presentable, it does. I worked for years when I was in school gift wrapping presents at gift and department stores. Ugh!

Real.

The weekend before Christmas. Ideally, it would be Christmas Eve, but we are usually busy with extended family activities that day.
When do you take the tree down?
Not before the Feast of the Baptism of the Lord, after Epiphany.
Favorite holiday theme?
Victorian
Favorite gift received as a child?
A diary from my godfather.
Do you have a nativity scene?
We have three. One we received from my parents when we were first married. The other two our sons can play with. BamBam loves playing with them this year.Hardest person to buy for?
Giving Tree gift, because I don't actually know the recipient.

Our sons.

Star.

Christmas morning, but maybe one each for the kids before bed on Christmas Eve.
Most annoying thing about this time of year?
"Holiday music" which has nothing to do with Christ. "Step into Christmas"; "Baby, It's Cold Outside"; "Santa, Baby." Need I say more?
