counting 25 days

I saw this on another blog and thought it was cute. For some reason, there are some repeat numbers with different questions, so I left them in.

25. How many more days til' Christmas?
21, and it is gonna fly by! Holy cow!

24. What color is your Christmas tree?
Green, but still in the box :( We got it from my mom's business partner, and she throws fake snow all over hers. So, it "snows" from our tree.

23. Bought any gifts for anyone yet?
yes, I'm almost done shopping - but now I need to actually MAKE some of the gifts.

22. Are there any Gifts under the tree?
um, what tree? see above...

21. Will it snow this Christmas?
I really hope so - I just love snow.

20. How many family members live in your house?
7!

19. Is Santa coming?
You betcha, we love to have santa leave us stuff.

18. Have you been naughty or nice?
I have been mostly nice, but unfortunately I am reaping the rewards of eating all the m&m's (a big weakness of mine) and have a lovely cold sore.

17. Favorite place to get presents from?
Online - oh yeah. bonus if I can get free shipping!

16. How many places do you go to celebrate the holiday?
Hmmm, down town, mom's, in-laws, and our house, that makes 4.

15. Ever 'peeked' inside a present?
When I was a kid, I peeked one year at where the presents were hidden and saw skis, but I didn't know who they were for. And, one year I carefully de-taped one side of a gift to see what was under that wrapping. I've since learned my lesson that while it may be hard to not know, it is far better to wait and be surprised. Hence, we don't find out the sex of our babies either.

14. Ever tried egg nog?
I take mine non-alcoholic. But, raw milk and eggs thank you very much! Yummy!

15. How cold is it now?
brrrrrrrr - cold

14. Decorated your house yet?
nope, but usually I do the day after Thanksgiving

13. Do you still leave the cookies and milk, just for the fun of it?
Of course, the kids plan what Santa will get and make sure it is tasty. I think this year we'll leave him a delicious deli sandwich and a concrete (a local soda shop's version of a thick milkshake)

12. How many presents would you say you got last year?
hmmmm, 12. I don't remember.

13. Name 3 things you asked for this Christmas:
PSCS2 or 3, a new printer, and a piece of furniture.

12. Ever watched The Christmas Story?
Yes, every year.

11. Have you ever been sleding?
yeah, but not for a long time. We ought to take the kids this year.

10. Do you get more money, or clothes for Christmas?
I get clothes more than money, but I also get other stuff too. My mom is good at just getting exactly what I asked for so I don't have to return much and her money is well spent. She is very generous.

9. Ever had a snow ball fight?
Yes, but not recently. I don't like snow down my neck.

8. How many stockings will hang from the fire place?
We don't actually have a fireplace, but we have 7 stockings to hang on our banister.

7. Does your dog/cat get a stocking?
Gladly, we don't have a dog or cat.

6. How many people would you say you buy for a year?
at least 20, but that doesn't count neighbors.

5. What kind of food do you celebrate with?
We have king crab legs and filet minion every Christmas eve. I also make caramel, and other goodies - oh and gingerbread with whipped cream.

4. Did it snow on Christmas Day last year?
No, but it will this year.

3. Do you have one or more trees that are decorated for a specific theme?
no

2. Do you go to Church on Christmas Day?
We go to Church on every Sunday - so if that happens to be when Christmas day is, then yes.

1. Merry Christmas
