my beautiful life

Hi all! Here is a little Holiday Q A for you!

1. Wrapping paper or gift bags? Wrapping paper for sure. I love wrapping presents.

2. Real tree or artificial? We used to have a real one, but my all the work with that! And we usually go away over Christmas so there is noone to take care of the tree then. So now we have a fake beautiful one!

3. When do you put up the tree? We always put it up on the 13th, but now with the school Christmas plays always being that evening we cheat and put it up the night before.

4. When do you take the tree down? After Christmas I am usually aching to get everything down! So a week or so after.

6. Favorite gift received as a child? I don´t really remember. But I know I always wanted a puppy and then when I got older a pony! (never got neither!)

7. Do you have a Nativity scene? I do, but we really need a new one, because I am sorry to say it but papa Joseph lost a hand… and as he is a carpenter he really needs both hands!

8. Hardest person to buy for? My father in law and brother in law.

9. Easiest person to buy for? My daughter!

11. Mail or email Christmas cards? Definitely mail.

12. Favorite Christmas Movie? Love Actually

13. When do you start shopping for Christmas? I like to buy gifts all year round, because I think that it should be like that. I want to go somewhere and just see something that would be perfet for someone, not just buy everything on a persons wishlist.
