Christmas Quiz! =)

Just a little contagious holiday fun...

1. Wrapping paper or gift bags? WRAPPING PAPER!! I love shiny paper and big bows. Unless its a Snoopy bag, then its okay =)

4. When do you take the tree down? New Years weekend, usually.

22. Most annoying thing about this time of year? Traffic!!! Everyone trying to get to the same store I am trying to get to! =P

23. What do you love most about Christmas? The warm feeling you have inside! Sounds cheesy, but it's just true! There is a certain magical quality in the air, as if the presence of God on earth is just a little stronger right now, and is evident through people's tendency to be more compassionate and caring this time of year.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Hope you have a wonderful Christmas Season!
