1. wrapping paper or gift bags? both, depends on the gift. I really like to wrap the kids present since half the fun is watching them unwrap.

4. when do you take it down? Sometime between the day after and new year's.

11. mail or email christmas cards? mail.
12. favorite christmas movie? Rudolph. I know it is kind of dumb, but it always brings back memories of watching it as a kid.
