Welcome to the Holiday edition of 25 Things About Me.
Okay, here's what you're supposed to do, and try not to be a SCROOGE!!! Just copy this entire post and paste into a new post. Then change all the answers so that they apply to you.
1. Wrapping paper or gift bags? gift wrap. Ours must always be different from Santa's
2. Real tree or Artificial? Real. I grew up with artificials but Justin insists on a real one every year. Pretty but VERY
3. When do you put up the tree? The week after Christmas
4. When do you take the tree down? New Year's Day but last year it came down December 19th before we went to Colorado. Very depressing taking down a tree before Christmas!

That was fun to read...and really? A fish pillow? haha...that's funny. Yeah, I don't think I'd like fish decor in my house either though!
I loved my red haird Cabbage Patch Doll. I even remember her name-- Elenor Rose.
