1. Wrapping paper or gift bags? Wrapping paper is so much more fun.
2. Real tree or Artificial? Real. My mom and I have had many a fight over this. I cried the year we got a fake tree.....
3. When do you put up the tree? The day after Thanksgiving.
4. When do you take the tree down? Right after New Year's.
5. Do you like egg nog? Never had it. Why? Because it sounds gross.
6. Favorite gift received as a child? My pink dance bag with ballerina slippers on it and my name embroidered.
7. Do you have a nativity scene? Well, no.
8. Hardest person to buy for? How about everybody. I don't get to go shopping because Vanderbilt makes me go to school until Christmas day.
9. Easiest person to buy for? My sister.
10. Mail or email Christmas cards? Mail. I had really intended to do cards this year, too....
11.Worst Christmas gift you ever received? The list is kind of long and might offend some people I love, so let's just say that I don't love all of the things I get ;-)
12. Favorite Christmas Movie? It's A Wonderful Life and White Christmas (it's a tie)
13. When do you start shopping for Christmas? Ideally, the day after Thanskgiving.
14. Have you ever recycled a Christmas present? Does giving it to Goodwill count?
15. Favorite thing to eat at Christmas? Breakfast casserole from my Mimi or dressing from my Mamaw (okay, we eat that a Thanksgiving, but still...)
16. Clear lights or colored on the tree? Clear. I know that colored ones are festive, but my mother has taught me to associate them with tackiness.
17. Favorite Christmas song? Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree
18. Travel at Christmas? If home to Memphis counts.
19. Can you name all of Santa's reindeers? Dasher, and Dancer, and Prancer and Vixen. Comet and Cupid and Donner and Blitzen. Oh and Rudolph. Is that all of them?
20. Angel on the tree top or a star? Angel
21. Open the presents? Christmas morning.
22. Most annoying thing about this time of year? Not having time to enjoy it because I'm in school/Chicago.
23. Favorite ornament theme or color? I love our tree at home. It's very old school kind of Victorian, with all kinds of handmade ornaments from when I was little. I hope my own tree looks like it someday :-)
24. What do you want for Christmas? Christmas is the only day of the year when I like surprises.

Okay, I definitely thought that "Blitzen" was "Vixen." So much for the slutty reindeer. You will not be surprised to know that Taylor also finds colored Christmas lights tacky. How does your mom feel about limos? And no, giving to Good Will does not count as a re-gift. Merry Christmas!!
