A Christmas Meme from Dineegla and friends
General | Posted 17 years agoThis is my first journal here. My friends Dineegla and MuscleWolf asked all their friends to try it out, so I decided to put out my thoughts. I'm not sure if any'll actually read it, but here goes:

Artificial

5. Do you have a favorite?
The ornament I made with my brother and mom in pre-school. It's a hand made ornament. Both my brother and I made them for our parents as Christmas gifts, and they've hung prominently on every tree we've decorated since.
6. Angel on the tree top or a star?
Depends on the tree
7. When do you take the tree down?
After the New Year. We like Christmas, and we like to keep the feeling around (especially when we're spread out during the rest of the year.)
