Sorry to those who are expecting an addition to my story, I'm not in the mood today. Since it's Christmas, I'm going to do a survey I got from my dad (who got it from my cousin). However, because most of my answers will be similar to my dads, I'm going to do it twice, once by answering the questions in the form on the song title that comes up when I'm on shuffle, and once normally. (Sorry if that didn't make sense to you.) (Oh, and sorry if this doesn't really work out, I'm just giving it a shot)
1. Wrapping paper or gift bags? 7 Minutes in Heaven
2. Real tree or Artificial? Put Your Head on my Shoulder
3 . When do you put up the tree? Here (In Your Arms)
4. When do you take the tree down? The Power of Gold

20. Angel on the tree top or a star? Big Man On Mulberry Street

25. Favorite Christmas memory? Blind Frail
26. What do you want for Christmas this year? Bridges

Ok that didn't really work very well, but it took way too much work to just erase it all, so here goes the real one.
1. Wrapping paper or gift bags? Whats the fun in a gift bag? You don't get to rip anything up, I thought that that was the whole idea, get out your anger because you didn't get what you wanted.

4. When do you take the tree down? NEVER! Well, I wish we never did anyway, something about the tree brings the Christmas spirit.
5. Do you like eggnog? HOW DO PEOLE NOT LIKE EGG NOG??? To quote my dad, "I wish there was some vital nutrient that you could only get from egg nog"
6. Favorite gift received as a child? Probably when we got a nintendo 64, I was convinced my parents would never get one.
7. Do you have a nativity scene? If I had time, I'd count them all, but it's got to be over 600.
8. Hardest person to find a gift for? I have yet to learn the art of Christmas shopping, pretty much everyone is hard for me.
9 . Easiest person to find a gift for? My brother matt, if it's wrapped, he likes it.

Dang I totally agree with pretty much the whole thing. Oh and the thing that brought the christmas spirit was the same for your answer and the shuffle songs which was pretty crazy.
Oh my goodness I just laughed so hard! About the first part anyway.
Some comments on my favorites:
1. Yes! The phrase is "unwrapping presents" not "taking presents out."
2. I'm with you, fake trees are just so . . . . fake.
12. Favorite elf quote: "What's a Christmas Graham? I want one!"
26. May the force be with you. (Hopefully that doesn't sound totally random.)
I LOVE It's a Wonderful Life. Love it. That, and chinese food. Just ask Jordan.
So if my computer wasn't in the process of breaking, I'd leave 19 comments. Apologies.
"You smell like beef and cheese"...Elf is classic. For the record, Eggnog Creamies are heavenly. Absolutely Perfect! Merry Christmas
24 presents in 24 minutes eh? Pretty awesome I also totally agree on the tree. If I did this that would be my choice. Although one thing that I don't totally like, which is very much against your list is eggnog. I don't hate it though.
I agree with almost all of your list Josh. But, just think, with an artificial tree we could put it up earlier and leave it up longer thus helping you feel the Christmas spirit that much sooner--and later.
Ok, the first survey was kinda confuseding me.
