Christmas Questionnaire...

1. Wrapping paper or gift bags? Gift bags! I'm wrapping paper challenged and never have quite learned the art of wrapping paper approximation.

2. Real tree or Artificial? I love real trees, and always grew up having a big ol' one in our living room. But, for now I have a few, "artificial" ones. I have two in my living room. One with St. Jude ornaments and one with my glass / Radco collection. In my room I have a small siver one with my Hello Kitty collection of ornaments and decor!

3. When do you put up the tree? Thanksgiving, but they haven't made it up yet...
