Christmas meme from
ainu_laire 1. Do you have a real or fake Christmas tree?
Always real. Except once. Why, I forget. I was like 8. And my mum always decorates. She always lets us do it, but ends up doing it in the end. She's a bit of a designer, and always makes the tree look breathtaking.
2. Do you put up Christmas lights on the exterior of your home?
Si si. My mum did it this year. It used to be some huge event, with my dad climbing on the roof and me going up with him and my mum freaking out since I was only ten. But yeah, my dad was too busy, I got lots of homework and Kim was lazy. So my mum did something simple :)
3. What's your favorite Christmas song/carol?
OMG Opera of Bells. I wish I could sing just to be able to sing that ♥
4. What do you like better, turkey or ham?
Turkey. I don't like ham.
5. Do you open up any Christmas presents on Christmas Eve?
Me and kim usually open one, yes :D
6. Have you ever been Christmas caroling?
Nope. I was supposed to on Wednesday and a couple weeks before then, but first I got sick and second time couldn't get a ride. Blast x.x
7. What was your most memorable Christmas gift(s) that you received?
A huge sled! Three people could fit in it, and we took it with us up to the mountains that season to see snow for the first (and last) time :)
8. What's your favorite Christmas movie?
Charlie Brown Christmas!! Or one of those puppet movies, there are so many.
9. Have you ever built a real snowman?
Once, said trip.
10. Have you ever peeked into a present and found out what it was before Christmas?
Never. I hate knowing what my gifts are. And kim is really bad about keeping that kind of thing a secret. She keeps badgering me to guess, since she knows most of my presents, and I don't want to because once I answer, I can read her facial expression and bah. I like surprises.
11. What is on the top of your Christmas tree?
A star. My mum felt like using a star instead of an angel this year.
12. Do you own a Santa hat?
Indeed.
13. When was the last time you had your picture taken with Santa Claus?
I can't remember, honestly o.o
14. Have you started your Christmas shopping yet?
Almost done. I still have to get a gift for my mum, dang it! I keep thinking of something, but then having seconds thoughts. Technically, she has a gift from all of us. But I want to give her something just from me :\
15. Do you put candy canes on your Christmas tree?
Sometimes. But not a lot. Cute ones we get, like the ones with reindeer antlers and stuff :D
16. Who is the hardest person to buy for?
MY DAD. OMG. SIRIUSLY. He has very simple tastes, but so simple everything in the stores are too complicated. So this year, got him a new wallet (we've been trying to find him a new wallet for as long as I can remember- he's too picky) and he'll just have to live with it.
17. Who is the easiest person to buy for?
Camellia. Or me, quite honestly. I feel like I'm the easiest person to shop for, I love almost everything :D But I have a bad habit of using the gifts people give me to see how well they know me <.< >.>
18. How old were you when you realized Santa was imaginary?
When Suvi told me *mutters*
19. What does your morning of Christmas routine consist of?
I used to wake up at about 1am and jump on my parents bed, trying to convince them it was morning. Now, we eat a big breakfast and then, once we're all fat, we sit around and open gifts.
20. Egg nog?
EW x 2
21. What do you want for Christmas this year?
Um. Stuff? o.o;;
OMG WTF. I can't buy cough medicine?! My dad calls while me and my mum are doing some last-minute shopping and asks if we can pick him up cough medicine cause he still has a bad cough. So, we stop by Target and since it's like 10:10pm, my mum's tired and asks me to run in and get it. So I do. I go in, grab the goods, and get in line.
Of course, there's no express lane and it's Christmas time, so I'm waiting in line for 40 minutes while some bozo freaking screws up two ladies purchases. So I wait, since I can't change line because that would mean getting behind about 23846 people. Finally, I come up when that scary voice from above says "Target will be closing in ten minutes". I'm relieved, hoping to pay and go.
But no. He asks for my birthday. Bewildered, I tell him I'm 15. Then he's like "No, I won't accept your honesty, give me your birthday. It's the 15th of what month?" So I give him my birthday and lo-and-behold, I'm under 21. I can't buy the cough medicine. WTF?! Poor people behind me, I didn't want to make them wait even more for this guy to blunder, so I tell him to forget it and bring my mum in to buy the stupid medicine. Wait even more and then leave. I know it has alcohol in it and the legal crap, but come on. What is this world coming to?
BED,
