Thanks Cara... Something to Blog About!!

1. Wrapping paper or gift bags? I like to wrap all my gifts, however.. I do put some last minute presents for the girls in pretty Christmas bags with lots of colored tissue paper.

2. real tree or artificial? unfortunately, artificial. When I was a kid my mom would always put up a real tree.. because it was a real on we didn't ever have a tree up before the 22nd. I like putting up my tree super early so I have to use a fake one.. and also.. the only year we did put up a real one, it was disaster.. !!

4. when do you take the tree down? January 6th... one year I was lazy ass and didn't take it down till Feb!!
