Christmas my way

Here's some info on my Christmas style!!!

1. Wrapping Paper or Gift Bags?

I like both. I use gift bags for quick presents but I love wrapping paper and the bows.

2. Real Tree or Artificial?

We have an artificial tree, actually we have 2. One is the big family tree with all the ornaments from everywhere we have been. The 2nd tree is a small fiber optic tree in the family room. A and I are allergic to real Christmas trees.

3. When do you put up your tree?

We usually put the tree up Thanksgiving weekend. We take time to unwrap all the ornaments and then hang them on the tree.

Our tree stays up usually through the 12 days of Christmas and comes down after 3 Kings day.
