This year I've had a REALLY hard time getting into the holiday spirit. I think it can be related to several aspects of life right now. I realize this will probably be a downer of a post, but if you can't be honest with your blogmies, who can you be honest with?
I think I'm just burnt out. All the stresses that had kept me awake at night the last couple years are now gone. Which is a blessing, but I also don't quite know what to do with myself.
So to get into the holiday spirit, I thought I would do a Christmas meme for you all!
1. Wrapping paper or gift bags? Wrapping paper, with all the extra decorations. I spend way more time wrapping than anyone spends opening.
2. Real tree or Artificial? We've converted to artificial. Quite honestly, it's not the same, but I don't have to shimmy underneath it to water it.
3. When do you put up the tree? Usually the weekend after Thanksgiving.
4. When do you take the tree down? Try to take it down on New Year's Day.
5. Do you like eggnog? Not in the least.
6. Favorite gift received as a child? My new Huffy 10-speed. I was so cool.
7. Hardest person to buy for? My nephews and my step-daughters.
8. Easiest person to buy for? Husband, daughter and mom
9. Do you have a nativity scene? Sadly no.
10. Mail or email Christmas cards? Mail with a family picture. I may try a newsletter this year.
11. Worst Christmas gift you ever received? Can't think of one.
12. Favorite Christmas Movie? Frosty The Snowman. Brings back my childhood.
13. When do you start shopping for Christmas? Usually sometime in November or on Black Friday.
14. Have you ever recycled a Christmas present? Not that I can think of.
15. Favorite thing to eat at Christmas? popcorn balls and little smokies. YUM! Not at the same time.
16. Lights on the tree? Heck yes, white ones.
17. Favorite Christmas song? Angels We Have Heard on High or What Child is This
18. Travel at Christmas or stay home? We travel to my mom's on Christmas Eve for a rockin' good time and then Christmas day is at our house.
19. Can you name all of Santa's reindeer's? Yeppers, there is a song afterall!
20. Angel on the tree top or a star? Star, I always feel bad for the angle with a tree limb up her...
21. Open presents on Christmas eve or morning? Christmas Eve with my sister and her family, Christmas day for my family and my mom. If I can convince N to wait that long. He's more of a kid at Christmas than I am.
22. Most annoying thing about this time of the year? The word Xmas. I hate it. People don't say Xtine's Day. Why pick on Christmas?
23. Favorite ornament theme or color? I love all the ornaments from my childhood. We always had a tradition of going to a local nursery and getting a new ornament. I have no idea why I picked the ones I did some years.
25. What do you want for Christmas this year? A salad spinner. Don't laugh, they're really cool.
