For the children, wrapping paper. For others baskets. Sometimes I use gift bags for unusual-shaped or bulky items.
2. Real tree or artificial?
Artificial since I do so many trees and I don't want to deal with the pine needles of a real tree. Also, since I'm the only adult in my household I have no idea how I would get a real tree in the tree stand. Lol.
3. When do you put up the tree?
The big traditional family tree is put up between the 2nd and 4th week of November. The other trees start going up the day after Halloween.
4. When do you take the tree down?
The tree does not come down until after Kings Day, the 6th of January. If I took it down earlier my grandmother and father would come back to haunt me. Lol.

No.
