4. When do you take the tree down?

9. Worst Christmas gift?
I really can't think of one...I remember when I was little my Grandma gave me a cute book and my cousin a VHS and I wanted to trade her! I still have the book but the VHS would have gone to the DI by now so I am lucky my mom wouldn't let me trade.

When people are afraid of offending someone and so they say "Happy Holidays" instead of "Merry Christmas" Drives me crazy!!
