I swiped this meme from Karen Hall (and having received it as an e-mail before that, I was all ready with my answers). I've put my responses below -- put yours in the comment section!

A little!

9. Easiest person to buy for?
My sister. Anything with a Coca-Cola or M&M logo will do!

Yes, but if I did that would spoil it for all of you!

Currently a star.
21. Open the presents Christmas Eve or morning?
Used to be Christmas morning, now, for logistical reasons, Christmas Eve.
22. Most annoying thing about this time of year?
The way the stores and the TV commercials invariably use the very ugliest and most annoying Christmas songs.

Celebrating the birth of the Savior of the world.
Your turn!
