 I know this sounds really silly...but I LOVE these little things. Always have and probably always will. So, here are my answers. 

1.) Have you started your Christmas shopping? Yep...95% done to be matter of fact and a little braggy if I may. Still waiting for things to come in the mail etc etc. Even stocking stuffers are done.


2.) Tell me about one of your special traditions. We always open one present on Christmas Eve..something that we use that night. Usually pajama's or books. My parents always take all of us to dinner sometime between Thanksgiving and Christmas. If times are good it is fancy, but the point is to be together...something passed down from my Grandpa and something I will pass on with my kids. 

3.) When do you put up your Tree?Thanksgiving Day. Always have and always will!

4.) Are you a Black Friday shopper? Only from the comfort of my home, and I actually start earlier, like two or three weeks. I am finding that most of the things I bought actually went back UP after this time. 

5.) Do you Travel at Christmas or Stay home? Stay Home

6.) What is your funniest Christmas memory? I can't really think of a funniest for some reason. I have a ton of special ones, but I can't really think of funny.

7.) What is your favorite Christmas Movie of All time? A Christmas Story, well, that and the How the Grinch stole Christmas. 

8.)Do you do your own Christmas Baking, what’s your favorite treat? Not really. I make sugar cookies and little stuff like that, and some treats for my hubby's work, but that is about it. 

9.) Fake or Real Tree? Pre-Lit fake one

10.) What day (as a Mom) does the actual panic set in to get it all done? I don't worry about getting it all done. I am little Mrs. neurotic that worries about getting it too perfect. 

11.) Are you still wrapping presents on Christmas Eve? Not usually, maybe a few though.

12.) What is your favorite family fun time at Christmas? My favorite favorite time is when it is just the immediate family in the morning, sitting together and opening presents and it isn't hectic or rushed. 

13.) What Christmas craft do you like the best? The ornaments the kids paint!

14.) Christmas music. Yes or No, and if yes What is your favorite song?My gosh, I am always singing all of them. But, Springsteen and Santa Claus is coming to town....the moment he giggles. I love it. 

15.) When do you plan to finish all your shopping? Within the next two weeks. I only have a couple things left to buy, and some baking to do.
