My friend, Kelly over at My Voice My View, tagged me to play this fun Christmas meme. Bring it on!!!
Have you started your Christmas shopping? I'm almost there. I've got everyone but my parents, in-laws, husband, nephews, sister and grandma.... HmmMmMmMmMmM Okay I'm a lot less prepared than I thought!
Tell me about one of your special traditions. None. My parents are NOT the celebratory type. We barely even had a real tree most Christmases... did you read my post about the Christmas branch?!?!?
Are you a Black Friday shopper? I went out on Black Friday and spent a fortune. Nothing I wanted was on sale! I'm the worst shopper ever.
When do you put up your tree? I put it up the week after Thanksgiving. But i still don't have a full size tree. I have a forest of miniature trees that I've been collecting. All about a foot tall... Some fiber optic... Some with little ornaments... Some that I have to water!
Do you travel at Christmas or stay home? I travel but not too far. I live in Baton Rouge and we drive down to New Orleans where are families still live.
What is your funniest Christmas memory? My mom was the only one that was home that Christmas morning. When I woke up, I had a bunch of little gifts: stickers, temporary tattoos, jacks, etc... My mom and I spent christmas morning playing jacks and putting silly tattoos all over me. Years later i learned that my parents had been really low on cash and the night before Christmas my mom was hysterical because she had no presents for me. She went out to the Dollar General and got all those little gifts for me. Turns out I loved them more than the nintendo, bike, jackets, money that i would receive in the years to follow.
What is your favorite Christmas movie of all time? I love those claymation movies.... The Rudolf one and the one about the elf with the big ears....
Do you do your own Christmas baking? What is your favorite Christmas treat? I bake all year round. I'm in a constant state of baking. It will be just another day of baking. I like to make rugelach... Ina Garten has a great recipe!
Fake or real tree? Fake! Less money in the long run. Although in LA they use the Christmas trees as a wetland preservation tool.
What day (as a mom) does the actual panic set in to get it all done? Christmas eve. lol I work well under pressure
Are you still wrapping presents on Christmas Eve? Absolutely
What is your favorite family fun time at Christmas? Opening presents
What Christmas craft do you like the best? Oh my goodness... I'm not crafty at all :(
Christmas music. Yes or no, and if yes, what is your favorite song? I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE Christmas music. Favorite song "O Holy Night!"
When do you plan to finish shopping? By Christmas eve--definitely hahahah

Love Celine Dion's version! So beautiful :) Thanks for playing along. You did a great job. I love the idea of a forest of miniature trees. You have to take a picture! I love that memory about the time with your mom on that special Christmas morning.
