BLOG CHALLENGE

1. Do you decorate your house this time of year? if so… how?
.... Well you start with throwing out all of your partners 'ugly' decorations (duh, that was supposed to be a mental note), then find the lights (now where on earth did I put those?), then proceed to wrestle with designer cat over anything that rolls, crackles or jingles!


3. How much is too much?
... Did ya see Dr Phil's house? you know, the one where their usual 'fountain' was replaced with a massive Christmas tree? If there are powercuts in the States this Christmas ... you know that it's his wife that bought up all the candles!!

4. How do you celebrate this time of year?
... Celebrate? hmm interesting concept .. Christmas this year is a family gathering (some from each side) catered for by Ali and Craig in new abode with respective kids being dropped back from 'ex other halves' about 3pm, when it will all start all over again WOOHOO! We have purposely done some swapping with the 'whose turn' is it this year routine, so we can have both girls together next Xmas from Xmas Eve.

5.Whose job is it to wrap all the Christmas gifts? Will you (or whoever) use gift bags, or wrapping paper?
... Is generally moi who does the wrapping with lots of help from Craig who likes to leave it till the last minute in order to savour the festive season. As I will probably be running around peeling potatoes this year and downing copious amounts of alcohol, he may end up with the wrapping paper and the photo splits (duh did I just give our little secret away?)

6. What do you dislike most about the holiday season?
... Going back to Weight watchers in the New Year and realised that you have just wasted six months worth of $15 a week!!

7. What are your top 3 Xmas songs?
... Love ALL Christmas songs, particularly "Snoopy's Christmas" and Hark the Herald Angels Sing.

8. Real tree or fake?
... Fake this year ... forked out too much on Telfast last year.
