Christmas Style

Published by Desert Diva under Holiday Fun, Journal

Tangled Up?

Shamelessly stolen from Luz…  I probably did this last year, but you all don’t remember - do you?

1. Wrapping paper or gift bags?

You mean you’re supposed to WRAP presents?

    2. Real tree or artificial?

    Artificial - save the Planet!

      3. When do you put up the tree?

      Whenver I can get over the reality that I’ll eventually have to take it down…

        4. When do you take the tree down?

        Always before February 1st.  ;-)

          5. Do you like eggnog?

          Yes, but don’t drink it anymore due to the mega hit of cholesterol…

            6. Favorite gift received as a child?

            My Betsy-Wetsy doll…

              7. Hardest person to buy for?

              No one - I think I’m a good “gift selector!”

                8. Easiest person to buy for?

                Well, me of course - I have to have a present too!

                  9. Do you have a nativity scene?

                  Yes, the manger is from a really old set, and the figures were replaced with ones made in Mexico.

                    10. Mail or email Christmas cards?

                    Neither - just read my blog…

                      11. Worst Christmas gift you ever received?

                      No comment!

                        12.  Favorite Christmas Movie/Music?

                        Love Actually, (Movie) / Christmas in Santa Fe by Ottmar Liebert (Music)

                          13. When do you start shopping?

                          Actually, all year long when I find something interesting!

                            14. Have you ever recycled a Christmas present?

                            Who hasn’t?

                              15. Favorite thing to eat at Christmas?

                              Unfortunately, I like it all…

                                16. Lights on the tree?

                                Green and red chiles with little lumanarias.

                                  17. Favorite Christmas song?

                                  Aspen Glow by John Denver…

                                    18. Travel at Christmas or stay home?

                                    Travel - always!

                                      19. Can you name all of Santa’s reindeer’s?

                                      Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen,Comet, Cupid, Donner, Blitzen - and don’t forget Rudolph!

                                        20.  Open the presents Christmas Eve or morning?

                                        Christmas morning - I’m no cheater!

                                          21.  Most annoying thing about this time of the year?

                                          The “event” that Christmas has turned into.  Instead of a time to celebrate the birth of Christ and share goodwill and peace, it’s turned into a three ring circus!

                                            22.  Favorite ornament theme or color?

                                            Southwest, of course!

                                              23.  Favorite for Christmas dinner?

                                              The food doesn’t matter - anything served with friends and love…

                                                24.  What do you want for Christmas this year?

                                                I had a bad year after breaking my wrist, the malunion and the shoulder problems - I want to have all of that resolved and feel that I really have my “life back!”

                                                  Tastes Like Chicken?

                                                  Christmas is a time for love and sharing. In that spirit, I’m sharing with you a hilarious and perverse site I found just in time for Christmas. Cavalcade of Bad Nativities is a kitschy collection of tacky nativity sets that sadly celebrate (or humiliate?) the birth of our Lord. There’s even an updated version for 2007.

                                                  I have several nativity “tasteful” (no pun intended) nativity sets!

                                                  The blog owner suggested that this nativity be displayed in a creche fashioned from a KFC bucket!

                                                  Just in case anyone didn’t get a Valentine’s Day card, here’s one from me…

                                                  Love in your heart wasn’t put there to stay,
                                                  Love isn’t love ’till you give it away.
