The Christmas Meme 2007

I’ve been tagged by Reflections by Kris.  I hereby follow good blogiquette and give you my Christmas Meme:

1. Wrapping paper or gift bags? – I am learning to love to wrap.  If I start early enough and take a day off I can enjoy.  If I am rushed towards the end bags become my savior.

2. Real or artificial tree? – I know it is bad for the environment but gotta have a real tree.  Nothing beats the smell of pine for Christmas.

3. When do you put up your tree? – Usually two weeks before Christmas. 

4. When do you take the tree down? –  Usually the day after Christmas.

5. Do you like eggnog? – Absolutely.

6. Favorite gift received as a child? – Teddy Bear Hamsters from my dad.  It was the only thing I wanted for Christmas.  The problem was there was a male and female.  We had babies within weeks.

7. Do you have a nativity scene? – No.

8. Worst Christ gift you’ve ever received? – Ummm.  That’s a tough one.  There is none that really stands out.

9. Mail or e-mail Christmas cards? – Mail.  It’s personal and pretty.

10. Favorite Christmas movie? –  A Christmas Story. My absolute favorite!!

11. When do you start shopping for Christmas? – We have to start early as finances dictate that we can’t leave it to the last minute.  I usually do all the shopping other than what my husband does for me.

12. Favorite thing to eat at Christmas? – Prime Rib for dinner and red velvet cake that I make from scratch.

13. Clear or colored lights on the tree? – Clear.

14. Favorite Christmas song? – Carol of the Bells and O Holy Night.

So the deal with this Christmas Meme is that you are supposed to tag 3 people.  I am tagging Cheysu, Snogdot, and Wenchy.

Friendship Contract

I recieved this via e-mail and thought it worth sharing with all of you.

After serious & cautious consideration…..your contract of friendship has been renewed for the New Year 2008!  It was a very hard decision to make. So try not to screw it up!!!                              

                         **My Wish for You in 2008**

May peace break into your house and may thieves come to steal your debts.

May the pockets of your jeans become a magnet of $100 bills.

May love stick to your face like Vaseline and may laughter assault your lips!

May your clothes smell of success like smoking tires and…

May happiness slap you across the face and…

May your tears be that of joy.

May the problems you had forget your home address!

In simple words …………

May 2008 be the best year of your life!!!

And it’s humanity and its current condition that truly disturb you sometimes.
