4. 100% wrapping paper

5. Elf!! Watch the yellow ones, they don't stop!

6. Day

7. Aaron is my current favorite. And I'm pretty sure he likes everything I buy him. I judge by the amount of drool he leaves on each outfit or toy.

8. Red and Gold

9. Real, especially if you cut it down yourself.

10. Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner, Blitzen and Rudolph. (I knew them, but I could have cheated by looking at Traci's answers - sorry about that.)

Anonymous said...

I read your blog too!!! It's a favorite!

Icicles

Absolutely not

Bacon

Wrapping (I agree with Casey) It's way more fun to rip and tear

White Christmas and It's A Wonderful Life are classics (I couldn't be Joseph's friend if I didn't put that one there, "MAARRRY"). I also love Elf and the Grinch

Christmas Day most definitely...morning in particular

Kelsey: Her Christmas list basically encompasses life

Silver and gold

real: blue spruce in particular

What they said.

Bonus present: expired pizelles
