Christmas Questionairre
1.  Wrapping paper or gift bags? wrapping paper

2. Real tree or Artificial? This is our first artificial one in about 7 years. We weren't sure how many times the baby would pull it down, so we didn't want a real one falling on her. Usually we do the whole family traipsing through the woods to find the right tree, and Daddy cuts it down.

3. When do you put up the tree? The second Sunday in December.

4. When do you take the tree down? Usually right after new years. With the real ones, they start losing needles by then, and I need to claim back the needed space in the living room.
