Holiday Q&A

1. Wrapping paper or gift bags? I prefer wrapping paper so everyone can tear into their presents, but sometimes gift bags are called for.
2. Real tree or Artificial? This year we have an artificial tree (thanks mom and dad) but I always like a real tree. We'll probably switch once the kid hits toddler and we can cut down our own tree with Aunt Amy and Uncle Chris in North Carolina.
3. When do you put up the tree? The weekend after Thanksgiving.
4. When do you take the tree down? After New Year's.

6. Favorite gift received as a child? My memory does not extend that far back in time. I think it was My Little Pony or something.
