11. Worst Christmas gift you ever received? I definitely wouldn't call it the "worst" christmas gift but maybe a "weird" christmas gift - I think when I was 12 or something my Dad gave my brothers and I each a set of maglights (flashlights). My Dad laughed at me cause I guess I just had a puzzled look on my face. But now I LOVE them - they're awesome haha!!!

12. Favorite Christmas Movie? I love all the sappy ones on Lifetime, but I also love Christmas Vacation and A Christmas Story

13. When do you start shopping for Christmas? In November sometime, although I have good intentions of buying a lot sooner since Kason's birthday is in December as well, but it never happens!

19. Can you name all of Santa's reindeer's? Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixon, Comet, Cupid, Donner (I heard it's really Donder???), Blitzen, & Rudolph (when you answer this did you sing the song to remember haha)

20. Angel on the tree top or a star? Niether! Everything is too heavy for our tree

22. Most annoying thing about this time of the year? I'm not a big fan of all the crowds everywhere and the traffic getting in and out of parking lots.

23. Favorite ornament theme or color? My Grandma Hill always gave us an ornament on her Birthday (Dec 18th) and since she has passed away, my parents continue the tradition. So my favorite ornament theme is just what she's given me, and what I've made throughout the years. It's kinda fun to remember the great times we had with Grandma as we put up the ornaments.
