4. When do you take the tree down? About a week after New Years!! I hate taking down the tree. It makes me sad!!

6. Favorite gift received as a child? Every single year I would look forward to getting a new doll... It was usually something I saw at the fancy doll shop when I was growing up or it was a surprise doll. But I looked forward every year to my new doll and adding it to my collection. I still have all of them and hope to have a daughter to pass them on to!!

How fun was this? I'm the sma eway about wrapping paper. IT has to go along with the theme of our tree. This year I did a kind of retro, colorful tree. I was so excited 'cause yesterday while walking past the dollar store I found the perfect wrapping paper. I went in and bought every roll!
This is neat - I may have to borrow it too!!!
Prime rib and shrimp!? Can I come to your house for Christmas dinner???
I could have written this!
I seriously get depressed when I have to take down the tree. Most people are "NEW YEAR WOHOO" and I am all "I have to take down the tree" BOOO
This was fun! Thanks for sharing!
I hate taking down the tree too. I usually put it off until the last minute.
i can't wait to do this for an upcoming sunday survey!
the feeling is completely mutual about the christmas tree coming down.
I love A Christmas Story too! That little kid with the glasses is too stinking cute!
This is so fun! I'm a fan of wrapping paper, too, and picking out the right paper for the presents. (:
I have a fake tree this year, too, because my apartment is small, and my dog is craaaazy! Haha. Next year...
You know, real trees just arent worth it anymore!!
LOVE this. I'll be borrowing
it from you, of course.
Are you dying without
a real tree? I would
