3. Did you or will you decorate the outside of your home?
We will decorate the outside this year. We have been here 3 years, but finally put in landscaping. We didn't want to in previous years, we didn't want our dirt yard showing up lol
4. Do you own a pair of Christmas earrings or other Christmas jewelry? Describe it...
Nope..
5. Do you open gifts on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day?
1. What is your favorite Christmas song? Oh, Come All Ye Faithful
2. Do you have a real or artificial tree? Real tree and we finally got it to stay standing and decorated it last night - its been up for a week with no decorations on it!
3. Did you or will you decorate the outside of your home? Nope, I live in an apartment on the third floor - makes it a little difficult.
4. Do you own a pair of Christmas earrings or other Christmas jewelry? Describe it... Nope. I used to have earrings that were red and green bells that really worked, but not anymore.
5. Do you open gifts on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day? The tradition that I grew up with was that we could open one gift on Christmas Eve and the rest were on Christmas Day. Now we don't all get together at the same time, so you just open presents when you see the person! But, this year, I'll be opening by myself as I'm not going to my parents place. So, I'll probably open them on the phone with my Mom on Christmas morning.
~*~ It really is a tie between "O Holy Night" and "I'll Be Home For Christmas" (always was, but brought on new meaning completely once we became a Navy family)
2. Do you have a real or artificial tree?
~*~ REAL! We even went out this year and cut it down ourselves!!
3. Did you or will you decorate the outside of your home?
~*~ We most likely will. Not sure just how as of yet, be we always do!
4. Do you own a pair of Christmas earrings or other Christmas jewelry? Describe it...
~*~ I own a few holiday pins. One looks like a bunch of Christmas gifts, another is a snowman.....when my hubby's grandmother passed away years ago, my MIL gave me alot of her "costume" jewlery like pins and such.
5. Do you open gifts on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day?
~*~ Christmas morning. We do alot of religious focusing on Christmas Eve.
