1. Wrapping paper or gift bags? - Wrapping paper. I love wrapping gifts and adding baubles, beads and glitz although this year I didn't go through the trouble.

5. Do you like eggnog? - I do like eggnog and brandy over the holidays but only have it when I can get the egg less kind of eggnog.

6. Favorite gift received as a child? - This is going back a long way. I remember when dolls with rooted hair first came out. I wanted one desperately, I've always loved dolls, still do. I was over the moon when Santa brought me one. I adored her.

10. Worst Christmas Gift you ever received? - Well, I don't know if it was the worse gift but it was certainly the most disappointing. When I was quite young, just before Christmas my father was dropping hints as to what they were getting me. He would make dog sounds like "Woof, Woof", I was convinced they were getting me a puppy. Christmas Day arrived and there was a large stuffed toy dog under the tree. I don't think I've ever gotten over that.
