1. Wrapping paper or gift bags? wrapping paper, unless there is no way to wrap up the thing.
2. Real tree or artificial? growing up we always had a real tree, then we moved here and we were older so we just got an artificial one. And now that we have kids it’s back to the real one (although it’s probably safer with the artificial one). Love the smell of the real one.
3. When do you put up the tree? about a week before Christmas. Maybe this year we’ll get one sooner.
4. When do you take the tree down? lol, sometimes we keep it till middle – end of January. But that’s only with the artificial one. The real one, probably about a week or so after New Years.
5. Do you like eggnog? I do, but I’ve only had it a few times.
6. Favorite gift received as a child? The first thing that popped to my head was a bicycle. It was a big, nice, green bicycle. Loved it! I think it’s still at the summer house in Lithuania.
7. Do you have a nativity scene ? no.
8. Hardest person to buy for? It kind of depends on the year, but usually I have trouble with buying things for teenagers, especially boys.
9. Easiest person to buy for? my kids!
10. Worst Christmas gift ever? hmm, don’t remember receiving a bad gift. I liked them all!
11. Mail or e-mail Christmas cards? Mail, and then sometimes I’ll e-mail too.
12. Favorite Christmas Movie? I like all Christmas movies. At the moment is The Polar Express.
13. When do you start shopping for Christmas? This year I started early and pretty much done!
14. Have you ever recycled a Christmas present? no.
15. Favorite thing to eat at Christmas? Everything!! I love all the Christmas food! I love these raviolis that my mom makes, there is mushrooms inside and you fry them, yum!
16. Clear lights or colored on the tree? It depends what mood I’m in.
17. Favorite Christmas song? I like all of them.
18. Travel at Christmas or stay home? When my parents lived here, we always went over there, now we just stay home.
19. Can you name all of Santa’s reindeer’s? No. They have names?
20. Angel on the tree top or a star? Neither, I just come up with random stuff to put on. Last year I hung a bunch of little round ornament on the top and it looked cute!
21. Open the presents Christmas Eve or morning? Christmas Eve.
22. What is the most annoying thing about this time of year? hmm… I guess it will be Christmas cards, the ones that don’t say Merry Christmas. Most of the cards now just say Happy Holidays. It’s fine with that, but you literally have to search for a card that will say Merry Christmas. Lets not forget Christmas!
23. What I love most about Christmas? I love all the decorations, Christmas lights, Christmas music, the warm feeling you get inside, the love. I love seeing the kids get excited when they see Santa and they look at him for a few minutes without blinking. I love everything about Christmas! And of course Jesus Christ!
Feel free to do yours and let me know about it. (well, if you want to

[...] The Lithuanian Wife blogger says that she prefers cards that say “Merry Christmas”, instead of “Happy Holidays”. What a great thing to say! [...]
