Do you prefer to start your holiday shopping before or after Thanksgiving?

lol...that's right no Pilgrims, no Indians, and I imagine to native turkeys.

First purchase, a new home.

How important are trees to you personally?

We have a couple of trees in our yard that were planted by our kids; another that was taken from an offshoot to one my wife's folks had in their yard. Gives those three a lot of personal value. Plus, except for the fall raking, I just love 'em.

How's your Christmas shopping doing?

I'm doing ok...I received two presents already. As for purchasing for others? Well, um...err, soon. Hopefully.

When shopping for others, are you practical or extravagant?

What's your favourite Christmas tradition?

Getting socks and underwear, though the day we all spend decorating the house and listening to Christmas music is nice too.

Do you open your presents on Christmas Eve?

Used to be we opened some on Christmas eve at my wife's folks house, and my folks house on Christmas day. Now, it's usually Christmas morning.

We will be going to my daughters on Thanksgiving and since the roads are sometimes "iffy" in December, we'll give them their gifts there. That'll be for our daughter's in Indianapolis and Cincinnati, respectively.
