Christmas Survey

1. Wrapping paper or gift bags? both

2. Real tree or Artificial? Real. Some people know this year my tree fell down and the tip broke off because SOMEONE didn't put it in the stand right.

3. When do you put up the tree? Sometime in December.

4. When do you take the tree down? After New Years Day, or whenever I get sick of it, whatever comes first.

10. Mail or e-mail Christmas cards? Mail...I had to buy the special ugly sweater stamps too!

11. Worst Christmas gift you ever received? My great-grandma Ferritto used to make us knitted bootie socks with balls. That was a downer when you were a kid!
