Ah I love these things nowadays. I saw this one floating around & figured I had nothing better to do.

It’s what, 15 days till Christmas? Mason was our joint gift to each other. There might be a little thing under the tree but really, all I want is to spend Christmas with a real family in a real home. For the first time since I was… 3 years old? Maybe earlier.

If anyone wants to pinch this, feel free, I did

1. Wrapping paper or gift bags? Wrapping is so much more fun.
2. Real tree or Artificial? Real. I love the smell of a real tree.
3. When do you put up the tree? Nov 1. Nah, around about now usually.
4. When do you take the tree down? A few days into the New Year.
5. Do you like eggnog? I’ve never tried it. Bear will pop my Eggnog Cherry this Christmas!
6. Favorite gift received as a child? I cried when I got my piano, but the favorite changed with every year.
7. Hardest person to buy for? Bear, funnily enough. But men always seem harder to buy for.
8. Easiest person to buy for? Me of course! Then again, my father is easily pleased too.
9. Do you have a nativity scene? No, the baby Jesus, sweet as he is, has no place in my home I’m afraid.
10. Mail or email Christmas cards? Oh mail, every time.
11. Worst Christmas gift you ever received? The past 3 Christmases have been pretty shit, what with an abusive ex-boyfriend & the last one being spent without Bear… I don’t have much to choose from since I didn’t get anything those years – how about the dumbbells from my ex? “Don’t you want to get rid of that excess weight?” I shit you not.
12. Favorite Christmas Movie? It’s A Wonderful Life.
13. When do you start shopping for Christmas? Late November & through December. I’m partial to a January Sales IOU though. – This is what I’ve asked my father for.
14. Favorite thing to eat at Christmas? Christmas dinner of course! Turkey, potatoes, veggies. Chocolate!! And there’s always the mandarin at the bottom of my stocking right?
15. Lights on the tree? I like white maybe with a few twinkler’s – classy.
16. Favorite Christmas song? Ohh, that’s a hard one. The first one that comes to mind is Mariah Carey’s : All I want for Christmas. I do have a strong disliking for Mariah & all things Glitter but we’re talking early days here (no crazy, high pitched wailing plus her breasts were ever so slightly more contained) & come on, the video is cute.
17. Travel at Christmas or stay home? Home. And I truly am home this year. When I was young I had two Christmases what with my mother & father divorced. It was awesome.
18. Can you name all of Santa’s reindeer? Bashful, Grumpy, Sneezy, Happy, Doc, Sleepy, & Dopey. Dopey is my favorite.
19. Angel on the tree top or a star? I’ve only ever had a star, actually it was always this silver tinsel one I made at school when I was little.
20. Open the presents Christmas Eve or morning? Christmas morning. You know my step-father would always make me wait until after Christmas dinner & everything, till I could open mine – 6 o’clock at night, I shit you not. All my friends & the few family who were interested would be phoning, asking what I got…
21. Most annoying thing about this time of the year? Probably the fact my mother forces me to make an effort with people who…well, never return the gesture. Last year it was receiving an empty card from my step-aunt & uncle when my mother spent at-least $150 each on their brats.
22. Favorite ornament theme or color? Bear’s mother asked me to pick an ornament from her Christmas tree last Friday. I was drawn to a porcelain angel by the way it was almost glowing from one of the tree lights.
23. Favorite food for Christmas dinner? I’m so sure we already nailed this one back at #14. But we don’t have Crescent Rolls in Scotland – I like Crescent rolls. Breaking them open thrills me to no end. Yes, I like Crescent rolls.
24. What do you want for Christmas this year? My tattoo. A Dallas Cowboys jacket & my Victoria’s Secret wish-list. Oh & the Aeropostal fragrance – their clothes smell so good I hate to wash them.
