Christmas poll
I am bored and this board can use some action, so here goes:
1. Real tree or fake?
2. Do you decorate the inside and outside of your house?
3. What are you most hoping to get for christmas?
4. What is your favorite childhood Christmas memory?
5. Have you ever attended an ugly Christmas sweater party?
p.s. I stole some of the questions for this from another board 
Re: Christmas poll
1. Real tree or fake? Real, although I really wanna invest in a really good fake one, b/c of all the mold and the allergies that come along with real ones..
2. Do you decorate the inside and outside of your house? I live in a condo complex with RIDICULOUS rules..last year we got written up for putting up a wreath on our door, but this year it was APPROVED! So, in celebration I put up a wreath, a cute door mat, and I put lights on back porch!
3. What are you most hoping to get for christmas? Actually, DH & I decided not to do gifts for each other cause we are saving, and my mom has said shes not doing gifts for brothers and I since we are all grown (25,23,20) so I'm not getting anything from her. So I honestly don't think I'll be getting ANYTHING this year. I'm kinda depressed about it actually..
4. What is your favorite childhood Christmas memory? We ALWAYS decorated the Christmas tree Christmas eve, and I loooved that tradition growing up but now that I'm on my own, I didn't carry it with me, DH thought it was ludacris and I just too excited too early. I also loved the year their was an ice storm and we lost power Christmas eve and drove, ever so carefully, to the next town over and had dinner at a restaurant.
5. Have you ever attended an ugly Christmas sweater party? No, and I don't own any ugly sweaters or anything for that matter so IDK what I would wear..but I could go out and buy a hideous sweater I'm sure..
1. Real tree or fake? Fake
2. Do you decorate the inside and outside of your house? Nope live in a 4 family house
3. What are you most hoping to get for christmas? Cash
4. What is your favorite childhood Christmas memory? Have a few.
5. Have you ever attended an ugly Christmas sweater party? Nope, but I bet it would be fun.
Planning and Married Bio
My Randomness Blog!!
1. Real tree or fake? Fake but it is a really good one.
2. Do you decorate the inside and outside of your house? Yes, we put up our lights this past weekend.
3. What are you most hoping to get for christmas? Grey knit Ugg boots.
4. What is your favorite childhood Christmas memory? There are lots but one of the best is when I was about 4 I wanted a sit-n-spin so badly and it wasn't under the tree. I was crying hysterically. Then my aunt came over and said she saw this big box in the yard and it must have fallen out of Santa's sleigh and it was the sit-n-spin. Yay! Obviously I learned years later that it was at my aunt's house for her to give to me but my mom called her and told her she had to come over with it right then because I was so upset.
5. Have you ever attended an ugly Christmas sweater party? Nope.
1. Real tree or fake? Fake and pre-lit and I LOVE it!
2. Do you decorate the inside and outside of your house? Yes, but all I do on the outside is lighted garland on our porch banister, a Christmas wreath, Pointsettas, and a wicker snowman I got last year at HD for $4 (regularly $30) at their end of season sale. On the inside I have a few nick nacks I put out in the family room and formal dining room, but I don't go all out and do Christmas in every room.
3. What are you most hoping to get for christmas? Canon or Nikon DSLR
4. What is your favorite childhood Christmas memory? Plotting with my older brother on how to wake up our parents, but not get in trouble so that we could go downstairs and see what Santa brought us. We usually woke each other up before the crack of dawn.
5. Have you ever attended an ugly Christmas sweater party?NO! But, I'd kill to see pictures from one!
1. Real tree or fake? Just a 4ft fake tree this year in our apartment.
I always had a real tree growing up so I miss it.
2. Do you decorate the inside and outside of your house? Wanted to decorate the inside of our apt. a bit but left all my decorations at my parents' house! I just hung up stockings and have a door decoration.
3. What are you most hoping to get for Christmas? Some new clothes, DVDs, maybe a gift card towards buying a new iPod
4. What is your favorite childhood Christmas memory? Just all of the Christmases spent with my grandparents.
5. Have you ever attended an ugly Christmas sweater party? No but I imagine it would be pretty fun
1. Real tree or fake? Real!! For the first time, hopefully going to get cut it down on Sunday!
2. Do you decorate the inside and outside of your house? We are looking for a wreath for the door, but the inside will be the focus of my decorating!
3. What are you most hoping to get for christmas? I don't really have any huge wishes, since DH has to work xmas eve and day (3-11) I really just hope to be able to spend some time with him.
4. What is your favorite childhood Christmas memory? Waiting at the top of the stairs with my brother and sister, then bolting down once we got the ok, to be the first to see what Santa brought! And decorating our 13 ft tree!
5. Have you ever attended an ugly Christmas sweater party? Nope, that would require buying one and I refuse to do that!
Hey there! I haven't checked this board in awhile but thought I'd play along here:
1. Real tree or fake? We have a fake but I keep saying I really want to start getting real trees. We just moved into a new house this fall so saving money by using the tree we have this year
2. Do you decorate the inside and outside of your house? Inside - yes. Need the motivation to do something with the outside. I'm going to put lights in the bushes in the front at least but there is snow on the ground in our yard so putting it off.
3. What are you most hoping to get for christmas? We are expecting in March so just getting things to get ready for the baby really. We went through a big move this past year, remodeled the kitchen in our new house, and are expecting a baby. I think we've received more than enough blessings this year already!
4. What is your favorite childhood Christmas memory? The year "Santa" brought me a cabbage patch kid even though they were no where to be found. Top Christmas gift of all time!
5. Have you ever attended an ugly Christmas sweater party? No - but that sounds really fun!
