This is my lovely daughter-in-law Ali all dressed up for Christmas.
I found this meme at Mother of Invention's blog Spilling Out and just had to copy it. It's OK I told her what I was doing. Apparently it came to her via email but she posted it on her blog and I really like it, I've got a blogvoid (can't think of anything to write about) at the moment and it's Christmassy, so here goes.
If you want to copy go ahead and fill in your own answers, just let me know if you're posting it so I can come read yours.
1. Wrapping paper or gift bags? Both
2. Real tree or Artificial? Artificial. We used to have real but I hated it when all the needles fell off!
3. When do you put up the tree? The second week in December. Though if it was left to MWM we wouldn't have one at all! Scrooge!
4. When do you take the tree down? Before the 6th January. There are conflicting views in our family as to whether it should come down before or after the 6th.
5. Do you like eggnog? I prefer Baileys!
6. Favorite gift received as a child? I got a doll dressed in a wedding dress with a veil and a bouquet. I played with that to the exclusion of my other doll, Susan, and when I went back to Susan I thought she'd shrunk!
7. Hardest person to buy for? The men in my family.
8. Easiest person to buy for? The grandchildren.
