Meme Christmas
1. Wrapping paper or gift bags? Wrapping paper. I'm awful at it, but bags just seem lazy.
2. Real tree or artificial? Artificial. I think I'll switch to real when I have kids, but in the mean time, I'll be lazy.
3. When do you put up the tree? Usually the weekend before Christmas. 3rd Sunday of Advent or so.
4. When do you take the tree down? Right around Epiphany.
5. Do you like eggnog? Love it.
6. Favourite gift received as a child? Probably the bicycle when I was six.
7. Do you have a Nativity scene? Yes. Two.
8. Hardest person to buy for? My mother.
8. Worst Christmas gift you ever received? I'll skip this one since I know the giver reads this blog.
8. Mail or email Christmas cards? Mail, when I actually do them.
9. Favourite Christmas Movie? Die Hard.
10. When do you start shopping for Christmas? I often place my first on-line order Thanksgiving Day while my mom is cooking dinner.
11. Have you ever recycled a Christmas present? No. That's just rude.
12. Favorite thing to eat at Christmas? Cheesesteaks. While I've never actually had one on Christmas, they're always my favorite thing to eat.
13. Clear lights or colored on the tree? Colored.
14. Favourite Christmas song? Secular: "Baby, Please come home" by Darlene Love. Religious: O Holy Night
15. Travel at Christmas or stay home? Stay home. I don't think I've ever been away Christmas Day.
16. Can you name all of Santa’s reindeer? Only because of the beginning of "Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer."
17. Angel on the tree top or a star? Angel.
18. Open the presents Christmas Eve or morning? It usually ends up being afternoon by the time my parents come over after we've all been to Mass and dinner is eaten. (Presents are nice and all, but eating is most important.)
19. Most annoying thing about this time of year? The attempts to undermine or completely deny the true meaning of Christmas: God coming into the world for our salvation.
20. Best thing about this time of year? Mass. As annoying as it is to see the people who only come out to Mass only a few times a year, it's nice to see overflowing churches filled with people singing praises to God.

That's awesome, Rick. I'm a little embarrassed to admit I had to Google to find the reference. I remembered hearing it but couldn't remember the source.
