My Christmas...

Answer the questions, post it in your journal and then pass it on.  

1. Wrapping paper or gift bags? Wrapping paper, but if I'm lazy, gift bags. 

2. Tree; Real or Artificial? Real! We've never had an artificial tree, and we never will. It wouldn't feel like Christmas without a real tree..

3. When do you put Christmas tree up? Usually th 23rd. We're going to put it up soon...

4. When do you take the tree down? When there are more needles on the floor than on the tree

5. Like eggnog?  Never tasted, it's not a tradition around here. But if it contains eggs, I doubt I'd like it. Does it really contain eggs?

6. Do you have a nativity scene? No, we're not religious. Christmas is just a tradition to us, we don't think about Jesus birth.

7. Favorite gift received as a child? Probably the playstation me and my brother got when I was 5

8. Hardest person to buy for? My friend Nadde, we're so different.

9. Easiest person to buy for? My friend Casso, we're so much like eachother. We listen to the same music, like the same clothes and our sense of humor is exactly the same.

10. Worst Christmas gift? Nothing particular, but I hate candles. They're nice and all, but the ones I get presents from should know me well enough to buy me something I actually like or something funny, candles are not funny...

11. Mail or e-mail a Christmas Card? Cards! I love cards..

12. Favorite Christmas movie? The Snowman, it's so beautiful, I watch it every christmas! Then there's also "Joulupukki ja Noitarumpu" (made by Mauri Kunnas,a Finnish children's books author) that's really funny.

13. When do you start shopping for Christmas? Usually at the beginning of December

14. Have you ever recycled a Christmas present? Nope.

15. Favorite food to eat on Christmas? Here in Finland people usually eat ham or turkey, carrot, potatoe and rutapaga casserole, differnet kinds of fish, meatballs and such. I don't eat meat or fish and I hate the casseroles, so I usually just eat potatoes and differnt kinds of salads.

16. Clear or colored tree lights? I like the clear ones, they look more like real candle light and I think they're classier in a way..

17. Favorite Christmas Song? I'm not that fond of Christmas songs, actually they kind of irritate me... But there are a few I like, "Whute Christmas" is prob. my fav.

18. Travel during Christmas or stay home? Stay at home, I've spent christmas elsewhere than home twice, once at my grandma's and once at my cousin, but never further away than that.

19. Store bought or homemade gifts? Doesn't really matter which ones I get, and i depends on my mood which ones my friends get from me...

20. Angel or Star on tree top? Star, always a star.

21. Open presents on Christmas Day or Christmas Eve? Eve, here in Scandinavia we celebrate Christmas mostly on Christmas eve. Christmas eve is when you stay at home with your family, eat Christmas dinner and open presents. Christmas day is when you go out partying with your friends..

22. Most annoying thing about this time of year? The stress! I don't really stress, but my mom does, and when she's stressed out, everybody is stressed out..

23. Bake at home or Buy? Both.

24. Lights outside? Yes, clear ones and not too much!

25. Mistletoe? No, not a tradition around here. I'd like mistletoes, though! :)
