6. Favorite gift received as a child? I don’t know that I remember that many gifts from childhood, a bike maybe.

Fun answers, Gail!
But we drink egg nog by the gallons here…all four of us! I guess you either love it or hate it.
And let’s just say I need to step of the workouts a bit now… 😉

How fun! Good thing you don’t like eggnog…it’s really expensive this year! And yes, wrapping paper, definitely wrapping paper! I’m an addict. Seriously. I started this season with 54 rolls! Told myself I was not allowed to buy any this year. Blew it the other night and bought three more rolls though.
