My tree actually inspired the kit in the first place! \ud83d\ude42  There are only a few things that aren&#8217;t from the kit.  For full credits, you can visit my <a href=\"http:\/\/scrapmatters.com\/gallery\/thumbnails.php?album=22\">gallery<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Ang has this fun little Christmas quiz on her blog, so I stole it!<\/p>\n<p>1. Egg Nog or Hot Chocolate? <span class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 0, 0);\">Hot Chocolate if I had to pick. \u00a0But I do like Egg Nog.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>2. Does Santa wrap presents or just sit them under the tree? <span class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 0, 0);\">He wraps them up! \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>3. Colored lights on tree\/house or white? <span class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 0, 0);\">Ours are red and green on the house and MULTI-COLORED FUN on the tree! \u00a0I guess we just aren&#8217;t white light people!<\/span><\/p>\n<p>4. Do you have mistletoe? <span class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 0, 0);\">No! \u00a0Dang, I should get some!<\/span><\/p>\n<p>5.

Favorite holiday memory as a child: \u00a0<span class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 0, 0);\">Sleeping all together in the same room on Christmas Eve with all my brothers. \u00a0We still do it! \u00a0HAHA \u00a0We have had to move it into the living room so we all fit now, but we still sleep in the same room, spouses and all. \u00a0Now that Christian has a baby, I&#8217;m sure it&#8217;ll be different but we&#8217;ll figure something out! \ud83d\ude42<\/span><\/p>\n<p>8. When and how did you learn the truth about Santa: <span class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 0, 0);\">I confronted my mom at a young age and DEMANDED she stop lying to me and tell me the truth RIGHT NOW! \u00a0I was\u00a0irate!\u00a0\u00a0I couldn&#8217;t believe she would lie to me, she was one of my best friends! \u00a0I was very upset and poor Mom was not prepared because I was so young. \u00a0Haha. \u00a0SORRY MOM! \u00a0I was (am) pretty dramatic!<\/span><\/p>\n<p>9.

Snow! Love it or Dread it? <span class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 0, 0);\">LOVE to look at it, don&#8217;t love driving or being in it!<\/span><\/p>\n<p>12. Can you ice skate? <span class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 0, 0);\">Yeah. \u00a0But only straight forward and semi-slowly. \u00a0It hurts my stupid weak ankles.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>13. Do you remember your favorite gift? <span class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 0, 0);\">Probably my American Girl Doll, Kirsten. \u00a0It was a BIG DEAL when I got her! \u00a0I LOVED her. \u00a0And I took good care of her.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Well, I ran all over today getting the last stuff on the list. \u00a0I just have to finish putting gifts togther and wrapping! \u00a0And MAN do I love to wrap!! \u00a0I wish money wasn&#8217;t tight this year, cuz I&#8217;m dying to buy lots of pretty ribbon and paper! \u00a0I LOVE to wrap extravagantly. \u00a0But what I have will do! \u00a0\ud83d\ude42 \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>OH! \u00a0And if you live in the Provo area, here&#8217;s something I learned today! \u00a0The UPS Store in Provo does FREE Same Day MTC Delivery if your package is under 5 pounds! \u00a0I knew they did Same-Day delivery, but I didn&#8217;t know it was free!! \u00a0I was so excited when I dropped off Scotty&#8217;s Christmas present today!
