White lights or colored on the tree?
Ours is prelit. I think it's white? Is it weird that I don't know for sure?
Presents wrapped and under the tree throughout the month or only on Christmas Eve/Christmas Day?
I can't stand having the kids shake, count, guess, etc. abt the presents, so I wrap them Christmas Eve and put them under the tree then. The only presents we open at home are from us and Santa, so there aren't any other presents to go under the tree beforehand.
Is there any rhyme or reason to your giving?
Not really. I'm not a gift person, so just picking them out, getting them home, and getting them wrapped is enough work for me.
Do you do anything special as a count down or use an advent calendar?
My mom is a paper scrapper and made us an Advent calendar last year with a muffin pan and Hershey kisses inside the different spots. I would like to do a Jesse Tree, but I haven't been organized enough to pull that together yet.
Do you have any charity minded traditions at Christmas time?
We do Operation: Christmas Child and various service projects through our church/Bible study.
