The Christmas Meme

I stole this off Faith In Honest Doubt 's Blog.

1. Wrapping paper or gift bags?
>> Wrapping paper - I love getting annoyed at the stuff - I always end up with sellotape everywhere and a present so badly wrapped you'd never guess what it is.

2. Real tree or Artificial?
>> Artificial - I'd like to have a real tree, they smell better - but we can't afford them atm.

3. When do you put up the tree?
>> As soon as December turns up. Or when Matt gives in to my nagging.

4. When do you take the tree down?
>> A week or two into January. Or when Matt starts complaining that David Bowie hasn't visited us yet.

6. Favorite gift received as a child?
>> I'm pretty sure it was my TV when I was.. fifteen? Sixteen?

>> The Christmas meal! All that lovely meat and veg and gravy. And then Dad's bubble'n'squeak the next day!

>> Clear - coloured ones always look tacky to me. Unless they're a uniform colour.

17. Favorite Christmas song?
