Both, but mostly wrapping paper.
Artificial. I can’t see sacrificing a tree for my decorating purposes. Plus, it keeps us from worrying about Phoebe getting into dropped needles or the tree water.
Sometime after Terry’s birthday on Dec. 8th.
Sometime in January.
Yep. I need to buy some the next time we’re at the grocery store, actually. I usually add some nutmeg to it.
Either my Easy Bake oven or my Hippity Hop. If you don’t know what it is, a Hippity Hop was a large ball with a handle on it that you could sit on and bounce around everywhere.
No.
My father-in-law. He buys everything he wants, when he wants it. I make him Terry’s problem. 😉
Probably my mother. I can usually give her something homemade, plus something retail.
Snail mail. Though I tend to run out of cards.
More like worst set of Christmas gifts received. One year, after my parents divorced, I gave a whole list to my dad and he didn’t get me one single thing on the list! Sorry, Dad, I love you, but I was really bummed.
Mr. Magoo’s Christmas Carol
Early fall. Can’t start too early, unless it’s a stitched item, because you run the risk of the recipient buying the gift for themselves.
Probably, but I can’t remember anything specific.
Everything. 😉 Peanut butter kiss cookies.
Multi-colored, please.
I don’t think I have a favorite.
Stay home. When we bought the house, we declared that everyone would come to us. 🙂
Yep. The Rudolph song is forever burned into my brain.
A star, of course. But someday it will be an angel with hardanger wings and gown.
Both. Terry and I open our presents to each other on Christmas Eve. We open presents with my parents in the morning, then presents with his parents when they arrive.
The over-commercialization of Christmas. Stores start carrying Christmas items way too early!
Favorite ornament theme would be handmade. I was lax this year in finishing items, but I woud eventually like to have the majority of my ornaments be handmade.
Turkey. Since Terry’s allergic to poultry, this is about the only time of year that I get turkey!
To be happy.
I hope you get your Christmas wish, but remember you can’t know that you’re happy unless sometimes you aren’t.
Oh, I loved my Hippity Hop! How funny, I’d forgotten all about it. I had a Lemon Twist too – did you?
