Oh, I'm so with you about drinks. For me, it would be diet coke! I wish I could have several trees too!
This was a great questionnaire.. guess I haven't cruised blogland enough lately to know about the swap you are in, but it is nice to visualize the kind of Christmas you like... I am lucky to have the space to put up one big tree and a few smaller ones each year as well as decorate the two mantels that originally shared one chimney.
Thanks so much for sharing Danielle! The cioppino sounds *amazing* :) I buy my Christmas cards after Christmas the year before too! The only problem is having to store them for the rest of the year.... Hope you're enjoying the swap so far and thanks for filling out your questionnaire!
