1. Have you started shopping?
Of course. I've bought the gifts for me already.
2. Tell me about one of your special traditions.
The Geeks leave the Christmas tree lights on for Santa Claus all night on Christmas Eve.
3. When do you put up your tree?
Whenever Reffie gets a round tuit. I've noticed that Hubby Geek must have one already as he stepped outside to search for outside decorations.
4. Are you a Black Friday shopper?
No, but I spray painted all the garland black this year. Does that count?
5. Do you travel at Christmas or stay put?
I'm not allowed out of the house.
6. What is your funniest Christmas memory?
Laughing at Reffie's attempts to become ONE with the decorating.
7. What is your favorite Christmas movie of all time?
Sybil
Sybil
8. Do you do your own Christmas baking? What is your favorite Christmas treat?
Reffie does the baking as I'm not allowed in the kitchen after that unfortunate incident a few years ago. I have her make fudge and rum balls for me, though.
9. Fake or real tree?
The Geeks had to downsize to a smaller, fake tree because my toys (various books on mind-control, torture, and how to sell body parts on Ebay, etc.) take over all of the available areas in the den where a tree could be placed. They are disinclined to move furniture.
10. What is your favorite family fun time at Christmas?
Replacing Reffie's prezzies with lumps of coals, using Reffie to make snow angels, strategically placing whoopie cushions to surprise unsuspecting guests, playing with the kitchen torch near the Christmas tree, etc.
11. What is your favorite Christmas crapft?
Making Voodoo Dolls of Reffie wearing a candy cane ribbon (see sidebar). That silly little dog is listed on Ebay and somebody from Korea is already bidding on him.
12. What is your favorite Christmas song?
Send Reffie Away in a Manger.
Uh oh. Reffie is waking up. Gotta go....
**Yawning** I wonder what all of that was about.
Anyhowsit, I've done a little decorating.
First the decorations must be exhumed:
Yep. They are in the back of the closet under the stairs, with an almost fool-proof system for storage. Hubby made that wooden box that fits exactly in place under the stairs.
I got a few things out:
I love my little Taco Bell dog and I decided to let him catch the eagle this year. We all know it's usually the other way around. Yes, that is Cat sleeping off his exhausting day.
Here is my naked animal....er...naked tree. It takes less than one minute to put it in place:

We have another, larger tree but it was not playing nice during its photo session.
I think that's enough for now. Martha Stewart called. She said she is pursuing legal action against me.

love your favorite movie lol
Sybil LMAO!!!
Nice tree over there. Is that your only tree?
Why do you paint your garland black??
Oh I have so many questions! LOL!
I love that tree! I wish we had one just like it!
heh heh
Sybil, eh? Niiiiice!
@queen-size - hee hee.
@otin - Evil Twin is a bit warped. We have another tree that is a little larger. ;-)
@quirky - hee hee. Evil Twin is sure she is Sybil.
My evil twin, Em-Em, is very naughty this time of year. She must have gone to the same School of Sinister Acts as yours did.
Sybil. LOL. You would have a blast at my house...it's Sybil all the time.
We are more alike than we are different. Scary, huh?
:)
that cat needs to be put to work. i suggest taping a long stream of garland to its tail then chasing it off the couch to see if it can outrun said garland.
@Me-Me - I believe that they must keep in touch!
@mama-face - Yes, scary!
@Nooter - That sounds like a great idea. hee hee
We have one of those little candle windmills too. Not Xmas without it.
LMAO! Undoubtedly the most demented and witty Christmas Meme yet. Sybil. Good lord, GF - you need help. Join me & Quirkster for group this week?
Marvin D Wilson
@honeypie - Yes, if I don't get out anything else, I will get out the pyramid.
@Marvin - Of course. I'll bring fudge and Diet Dr Pepper. This helps Evil Twin behave.
You gotta watch out for Martha Stewart!
Black Friday is the only day of the year I truly enjoy shopping - believe it or not.
I loved the Q&A.
From my end, I could watch "Christmas Vacatation" or "It's a Wonderful Life" every day during the holidays!
@Jacki - Yeah. She scares me.
@Constant - Thanks. You are obviously not alone with your interest in shopping on Black Friday!
Yeah, Sybil got me too. Heehee HEE. Laughed out loud too. I think your little tree could replace Charlie Brown's should they do another special.
Sybil! LMAO! That's just about the holidays feel to me these days -- like I've got multiple personalities and maybe, must might, go totally bananas at any second. Funny post, Reforming Geek!
@Kablooey - Hee Hee. Tic. Tic.
@MikeWJ - Thanks. **head spinning Linda Blair style**
LOL-ing at the "Sybil as a favorite Christmas movie." This post made me laugh all the way through.
@Leeuna - Thanks! Sybil really was warped, wasn't she?
seeing that taco bell dog makes me hungry
Since the Taco Bell dog died this year, I think your placement of his likeness on the back of a soaring eagle is a moving tribute.
@Jean - For the dog?
@kathcom - I truly wish I had thought of that. ;-)
