9. Do you have a nativity scene? No, but I'd like to get one. Maybe an after Christmas sale this year.
10. Mail or email Christmas cards? Mail. This is a tradition that should not ever be replaced by technology.
11. Worst Christmas gift you ever received? Christmas 2003-- our 1st Christmas being married. I told Dave NOT to get me shoes b/c I wanted to pick them out myself. So he bought be 2 pair - a black and brown of the SAME shoe. They were HIDEOUS. But he thought I would like them b/c I had a pair of flip flops in the same brand. They got returned the day after Christmas.
