1.) Have you started your Christmas shopping?
Heck no!!!
2.) Tell me about one of your special traditions.
We have lots of them so I'll share one from when I was growing up. Christmas Eve is also my little sisters birthday and my mom always made sure i was special for her. We would have her special birthay dinner, usually spaghetti, birthay cake and open present. Then we would ring in Christmas Eve by getting dressed up and going to 7:00 services. Come home, light a fire in the fireplace and gather around the tree. We got to open one present on Christmas Eve. Then a friend of my parents would come over every year dressed as Santa. lol He was still doing it when I was a senior in high school...go figure lol
3.) When do you put up your Tree?
We put up our tree the Sunday after Thanksgiving and yes it's up and lit right now.
4.) Are you a Black Friday shopper?
No waaaaaay, it scares me!
5.) Do you Travel at Christmas or Stay home?
Well not really travel...my sister Wendi and I take turns and we live 45 mins from each other. This year we are having it at our house and my little brother is coming up from Florida YAY!!
6.) What is your funniest Christmas memory?
My first year of college....we were gathered around the tree on Christmas Eve...firing going...music playing. It was my turn to open my one present. My dad hands me a box larger than a shoebox and I looked over at my sister Wendi who had a comical look on her face. I tore off the paper and untaped the box. When i lifted the lid, I saw to my horror that she had given me a large purple bong!!!!! OMG I went into panic mode and slammed the lid back down.
Dad: What is it Tam?
me: Nothing dad...
Dad: Nothing? What's the matter? What's in the box.
me: (muttering with my head down) a bong
Wendi breaks into major laughter
Dad: A what? (he's hard of hearing from polio when he was a kid)
me: a bong
Dad: What? A bonk?
me: a bong
Dad: A bonk?
me: a bong dad
Dad: A bonk? What's a bonk?
me: (shouting) IT'S A BONG DAD! A BONG! B...O...N....G
Dad: Oooh a bong? What exactly is that?
me: (in complete horror and frustration) you smoke pot with it.
Mom: (gasping) (my two other siblings giggling, and Wendi rolling with laughter)
Dad: Oh..very nice. We'll have to try it out together sometime. (smiling)
me: (mouth gaping open) ummmmm okay dad
Oh my god, I will never forget that present from Wendi as long as I live! I can't believe she put it under the family christmas tree! hahahahaha

Yes I do and my favorite is sugar cookie with creme cheese frosting.
9.) Fake or Real Tree?
Went to fake last year...i don't want to deal with the mess and a broken vacum cleaner every year anymore. lol

And the bong present is HILARIOUS! Did you light up with Dad before you went back to school? hahahaha
Hey a bong is a Christmas present that keeps on giving. (I definitely don't know that from experience. I mostly get socks for Christmas.)
