Starting discussions when you won't be around to answer them...

Leca @lecanis (16647) • Murfreesboro, Tennessee 26 Feb 08

I've noticed there are two major times I start discussions... when I first log onto mylot, or when I am just about to leave. If I start one when I first get here, it means I'll have a lot of time to comment on responses right away...

morenita I respond more than I start discussions, but when I do start them it is always at random points. Usually I will be reading and replying and then something will come to me so I post about it then.

morenita We always buy our christmas trees. Now though my family has a forest surrounding our house so we might be able to cut down our own, but I am not sure my mom would be too happy about that. I know this came up a few years ago in our old town because people...

How long do you leave your tree up after Christmas if you put one up!?

Willowlady @Willowlady (10658) • United States 26 Dec 06

We tend to take our down the day of New Years. Since we have a fake one which is fiber optics it is not so much of a rush for us, however, if you have a real one then how long before it makes too much of a mess?

morenita We always use real trees in our home, love the smell and it stays up until the Feast of the Three Kings. It is not celebrated by most here in the states but my mom's family always celebrated it back home so she has passed on the tradition to us.

Do you know what the biggest gift you are going to give for Christmas is?

ctrymuziklvr @ctrymuziklvr (11057) • United States 24 Oct 07

My family usually gives a few small gifts and one big gift to each other at Christmas. Since my granddaughter has sooo much of everything and I usually get her clothes I didn't know what the heck her "big gift" would be this year....

Wrapping gifts

gradyslady @gradyslady (4054) • United States 16 Oct 07

Do you wrap things you buy as gifts as soon as you get them or do you let them sit around for a while and wrap them right before you have to give them to the person?

morenita I try to wrap things as soon as I get them because otherwise the kids will find them and spoil the surprise. My mom is really bad about buying gifts and then leaving them out, don't think I have ever gotten a gift from her that was a suprise when I unwrapped...

Knitting for Christmas

peavey @peavey (16936) • United States 21 Oct 07

I've knitted gifts for others in the past, but I won't this year. Only a few in my family appreciate gifts like that, so I just decided to knit more for myself. Are you knitting gifts for Christmas? Or thinking about it?

twoey68 @twoey68 (13627) • United States 18 Oct 07
