1. Did you/are you getting a live or fake tree this year?
To my fury, we are getting a fake tree. I loathe fake trees. Real trees are so much prettier and they smell nice, too! 
2. Are you giving presents  to your family?
I am helping pick presents for people, but I have no way of going out and buying stuff on my own, since I'm still only 13. 
3. What about your pets?
I have no pets. 
4. Are you super hyped or super stressed?
Super stressed. SSATs are the week before Christmas, so I'll either be dancing for joy or sobbing uncontrollably that day.
5. Do you/ did you ever beleive in Santa?
Of course. A small part of me still wants to believe, but the more logical part of me is saying nope. I used to have a tradition where we stay up and wait for Santa to come, and eventually, he would, but then he stopped showing up, so the tradition died away. 
6. Did you put lights on your house?
No. My house location is so remote that no one would see them, anyways. 
7. What's your favorite Christmas song?
Carol of the Bells, sung by Pentatonix 
8. Which Home Alone torture would you choose?
Tarantula, stepping on nail, feathers sticking to face, paint can to the head, head on fire, or burned hand?
Feathers on face. 
9. Which one would be your last choice?
Head on fire. 
10. What's your favorite Christmas Movie?
It's a Russian one. I'll try to spell it in English letters. Svati Noviy Got. It directly translates into "In-Laws New Year" It's kind of part of a series, but this is like the "Christmas special" where it's sort independent from the other episodes. 
11. What did you ask for this year?
A new sports watch. A TI-84 graphing calculator (I need it for school), a few different kinds of T-shirts, and my parents approval.
12. Does your pet become a reindeer every year?
I haves no pets. 
BONUS QUIZ!
13. do you celebrate Christmas on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day?
Christmas Eve.  
14. What are you wearing on Christmas? 
No clue. Something cute yet comfy, since I'm not celebrating at home. I head to New York and stay at my friend's house in the country. He's got a really nice house for playing hide and seek in. 
15. Are you dreaming of a white Christmas?
Nope. Snow is my enemy. It's cold. It's wet. And it means that it's not summer... Sigh.
Muriel syas 'zage' Do you mean sage? What about any of my answers seems wise to you? Hmm...

1. Did you/are you getting a live or fake tree this year?

We have a little mini fake tree we're using.  

2. Are you giving presents to your family?

Yes.  

3. What about your pets?

I don't have any.  

4. Are you super hyped or super stressed?

More on the hyped side, but I'm neither extreme.  

5. Do you/did you ever believe in Santa?

Nope. My parents never did that Santa Claus thing. I honestly don't understand why people think it's cute to lie to their children. When I was a first grader my teacher told us all about Santa Claus and everybody was nodding and grinning and I started arguing with the teacher. Eventually the teacher took me aside and basically straight up told me "Santa Claus is real if you believe in him" and so I shut up. My teacher was pretty mad about that. I suppose ruining people's other good fun was a tad rude, but teaching Santa Claus' existance as fact will always bug me. People aren't allowed to teach religious stuff as fact in school when religion is something people actually believe in and can make legitimate arguments for, but they are allowed to teach you about a little fuzzy bearded man who flies around the world at night? 

6. Did you put lights on your house?

Yes. We should be able to switch the pattern of the lights, but the remote is broken, which sucks. :( 

7. What's your favorite Christmas song?

Deck the Halls, I suppose.  

8. Which Home Alone torture would you choose?

Feathers. 

9. Which one would be your last choice?

Stepping on a nail or tarantuala. *shudders* 

10. What's your favorite Christmas Movie?

I don't really watch Christmas movies.  

11. What did you ask for this year?

Mostly books and some art pens.  

12. Does your pet become a reindeer every year?

My invisible pet becomes an invisible reindeer each year. It rampages around the house. Do not be surprised to see papers get trampled over their own accord.

Oh My Goodness, I so agree with you on that Santa thing! No one has ever put it into better words. I don't get why parents think it's ok to lie to your kids about some strange man who brings your presents and eats your cookies, when it isn't ok to lie about other things, like maybe there is a giant crocodile in the sky who likes fuzzy socks. It's ridiculous.
