White lights or colored on the tree?
Multi-colored, although I've had gold in the past and I like them equally.
Presents wrapped and under the tree throughout the month or only on Christmas Eve/Christmas Day?
Wrapped whenever I get a chance! The sooner the better 
Is there any rhyme or reason to your giving? Some people do something to wear, something to read, something they want, something they need, etc. Do you do anything like that?
Nope. I try to be very thoughtful, but it doesn't always work out for me, lol.
Do you do anything special as a count down or use an advent calendar?
We do!
Do you have any charity minded traditions at Christmas time?
Not really. I've funded meals or donated toys in the past, but not on a regular basis.
