Wrapping paper or gift bags? both...depends on the size of the gift

Real tree or artificial? I grew up with artificial, and swore I would always have real trees when I was on my own (especially since Christmas trees are the major industry where my family lives). But last year, after we spent all day on the tree farm finding the perfect tree, we discovered a week later it was full of bugs. It was so disgusting. I fought them for a week before I gave up and took the tree down and tossed it. It was awful. So we're an artificial tree family now :-(

When do you put up the tree? usually the weekend after Thanksgiving, but I'll probably do it earlier now, with a fake tree

When do you take the tree down? anytime after New Years

Do you like eggnog? no way! Especially not after the season I worked at Starbucks. Steamed eggnog smells nasty!

Do you have a nativity scene? I have a ceramic one my mom made me when I was little...and a Cherished Teddies one. My mom got my son the Fisher Price one this year, so we'll have three for next year!
