All About Christmas :)

I got tagged by The Cap'n on a Christmas meme so here goes nothing! :)

1. Wrapping paper or gift bags?
Gift bags have saved my life since I'm Santa's "special" elf when it comes to wrapping. :)

2. Real tree or artificial?
If I'm going to have a tree, I prefer the real kind because of the scent. I also love to go do the Xmas tree farm thing where you tromp around and cut your own!

3. When do you put up the tree?
The last few years it's been a last-minute-oh-shit-we-need-to-put-up-a-tree thing so it's been the week before the holiday. In other years it would have been the weekend of Thanksgiving.

4. When do you take the tree down?
The weekend after New Year's.

5. Do you like eggnog?
Bleah, no way!

6. Favorite gift you received as a child?
Fur coat...yes I was a spoiled child so feel free to point and laugh at me. Does anyone else hear "Material Girl" playing in the background? ;-)

7. Do you have a nativity scene?
Nope, not my beliefs.

8. Hardest person to buy for?
My dad, he never asks for anything and usually buys himself whatever he wants leaving nothing for the rest of us.

9. Easiest person to buy for?
Usually it's the little kids that are the easiest.

10. Mail or email Christmas cards?
Used to mail them but haven't in several years. Lately I've just ignored the whole thing.

11. Worst Christmas gift you ever received?
When I was a kid, I hated getting functional things like socks or underwear so that always rated as the worst growing up. Nowadays I'm mostly grateful for whatever I get.

12. Favorite Christmas movie?
How the Grinch Stole Christmas - the old Boris Karloff narrated animated version.

13. When do you start shopping?
On the years that I actually get the Christmas bug, I try to be done by Halloween. Lately it's been right before the first event I'm supposed to show up with gifts for.

14. Have you ever recycled a Christmas present?
Many times, but I'm good about re-wrapping and making sure it doesn't look like a re-gifting. Usually though I reserve those gifts to take to a white elephant gift exchange.

15. Favorite thing to eat at Christmas?
Fudge! :)

16. Clear lights or colored on the tree?
Colored...there is no other.

17. Favorite Christmas song?
Santa Baby by Eartha Kitt (Again with the Material Girl syndrome...)

18. Travel at Christmas or stay home?
I prefer to stay home but I think we have to go to Arlington this year. :-(

19. Can you name all of Santa’s Reindeers?
Yeppers, sure can!

20. Angel on the tree top or a star?
Star, especially the really fun blinky sparkly kind.

21. Open the presents on Christmas Eve or morning?
Christmas morning, my eyes fly open at 6 am every year and I'm instantly five-years-old!

22. Most annoying thing about this time of year?
Retailers trying to shove the holiday down my throat starting earlier every year. That and the horrible musak versions of the carols they play in stores. Ick!

23. Do you have Jebus in your heart this Christmas?
Not unless he pays me some rent for the space.

24. What would you like for Christmas?
A day off with my sweeties, which I'm gonna get kinda this year.

And five people to tag? Merry Christmas to:

Army of Mom
Brian
Da Jules
Glen
Lil Bro

A Final Xmas post

Here's one more "Night Before" version that I couldn't help but steal from Da Jules. Y'all enjoy! Twas the night before the party When all through the town, No pigs were stirring, No cops were around. We drank segrams & smoked panama reds, While visions of the munchies danced through our heads. When all of a sudden came a knock at the door... We all yelled "Pigs!" & hit the floor. But what to our red glazed eyes did appear... A pound of columbian with 2 kegs of beer. The man at the door, he gave us a smile So we said, "Come on in man, You should party a while." But we heard him exclaim as he flew through the sky... MARIJUANA TO ALL & TO ALL A GREAT HIGH!!!

Wax Is Not Your Friend...

Ohmigawd, my Mom-person sent this one to me and I swear I actually did laugh out loud. I think I'll stick to shaving cuz this sounds really scary to me... ;-) All hair removal methods have tricked women with their promises of easy, painless removal - The epilady, scissors, razors, Nair and now...the wax. My night began as any other normal weeknight. Come home, fix dinner, play with the kids. I then had the thought that would ring painfully in my mind for the next few hours: "Maybe I should pull the waxing kit out of the medicine cabinet." So I headed to the site of my demise: the bathroom. It was one of those "cold wax" kits. No melting a clump of hot wax, you just rub the strips together in your hand, they get warm and you peel them apart and press them to your leg (or wherever else) and you pull the hair right off. No muss, no fuss. How hard can it be? I mean, I'm not a genius, but I am mechanically inclined enough to figure this out. So I pull one of the ...

Couple of Bra Jokes :)

Here's a couple of oldies but goodies. :) What Religion is Your Bra? A man walked into the ladies department of a Macy's, shyly walked up to the woman behind the counter and said, "I'd like to buy a bra for my wife. "What type of bra?" asked the clerk. "Type?" inquires the man, "There's more than one type?" "Look around," said the saleslady, as she showed a sea of bras in every shape, size, color and material imaginable. "Actually, even with all of this variety, there are really only four types of bras to choose from." Relieved, the man asked about the types. The saleslady replied: "There are the Catholic, the Salvation Army, the Presbyterian, and the Baptist types. Which one would you prefer?" Now totally befuddled, the man asked about the differences between them. The Saleslady responded, "It is all really quite simple...The Catholic type supports the masses. The Salvation Army type lifts the fallen...
