Little micro ones now. They've got them at a local store for about $2.50 per 100 (up .50 from last year), and so we just replace strands that don't light each year rather than search for burned out bulbs.

Garlands on the tree or not?

Not here


Tree topper: Angel versus Star

Angel

Lights ... clear or mult-color?

I'm a clear lights kinda guy, but our tree has mult-color.


Trim the tree early versus the week before Christmas

I prefer early, but my wife is going slow. :(

Hang the cards you receive or just set them on a table?

Hang them on a door - but with the advent of e-cards we get fewer and fewer real cards every year

Email Christmas cards or send real ones

Both. My wife usually gets the real ones ready and I send e-cards to a number of people who either aren't on that list (because we don't have an address) or as my wife of being a little cuter than my wife would be. :)

Snow for Christmas or not?

Snow


Tree trimming event: solo versus family affair

Family

Open a present on Christmas Eve or save all for Christmas morning?

Christmas morning for us.

Go to church on Christmas Eve or Christmas Morning.

Christmas Eve - I have to work Christmas Day

Christmas Carols or Holiday Music

Christmas carols

Roast chestnuts or pop popcorn?

Pop popcorn


Last minute shopping versus get it done early.

Get it done early (that's me ... my wife waits longer)

Having family over or going to visit them for Christmas?

Neither - live too far away from the family and with my job can't get the time off to travel and they are too cheap to fly here!

Turkey or ham for Christmas dinner
