Here is the Christmas edition of getting to know your friends...
1. Wrapping paper or gift bags? I don't know...I prefer to receive and give wrapped gifts but I usually give more gifts in sacks due to lack of material and my poor ability to wrap.
2. Real tree or Artificial? artificial. I have always wanted a real tree, but have never had one. My brother, Chad, was allergic growing up.
3. When do you put up the tree? usually after Thanksgiving, but this year we put it up before Thanksgiving because of our busy schedule after Turkey Day (Polar Express the 5th, Christmas Dinner Theatre the 13th , and Christmas with my family at our house - the 20th)

Willow Tree Nativity set. I love it, love it, love it. It will probably take 3 years to get all the pieces for it, but I have to start somewhere.10.

We have a lot in common! I add one thing to my Willow Tree nativity every year...you'll be surprised how quickly it all comes together. If you didn't already buy the cresh (sp?), I got mine at Hobby Lobby after Christmas for really cheap and I love it! Oh, and funny thing...tall boots are on my Christmas list, too! I have some picked out; I want a pair of black and a pair of brown. I'll answer the tag later!
Hey girl, your pictures are really good. I couldn't sleep tonight so I really slowed down and looked at everything. I gotta tell you your photography is really good. They may be candid shots but you capture the spirit of the moment. I don't really have anything on my list this year, maybe fabric could be my Christmas list. Fabric for curtains in the house. And rugs, I want rugs for the house too.
