Happy Thanksgiving

It's Thanksgiving, so to celebrate, I've decided to fill out one of those 'getting to know you' surveys that always wind up in my inbox.  Normally, I just delete them (hint, hint), but this one being holiday-themed, I opted to give it a shot.  

1. Wrapping paper or gift bags? Wrapping paper.  Oh, god, wrapping paper!!  There's nothing like tearing into a box like a rabid dog and throwing shreds of non-recyclable paper over your shoulder so it falls down like snow.  Fuck being green, that shit is fun!!!

2. Real tree or Artificial? If it's someone else's house, they should have a real tree.  If it's my house, an artificial one because I don't like dealing with the mess.

3. When do you put up the tree? Umm... December 10th.

4. When do you take the tree down? December 25th, at about 9:30pm.

5. Do you like eggnog? With booze?  Sure.

6. Favorite gift received as a child? The first television to go in my bedroom.  I disappeared for days.

7. Hardest person to buy for?  My father, who never wants anything.

 
9. Do you have a nativity scene? No.

10. Mail or email Christmas cards?  Snail mail cards.  That's the only way to go.  If you're sending digital Christmas cards you may as well just send e-mails that say 'I'm the laziest person you know.'

11.Worst Christmas gift you ever received? The worst Halloween gift I ever got was mono.  I'm not sure about Christmas...

16. Lights on the tree? Yes.  Clear lights.  

17. Favorite Christmas song? Hmmm... 'All I Want for Christmas is You' by Mariah Carey, 'New Heart for Christmas' by Kill Hannah, 'Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas' by Judy Garland

18. Travel at Christmas or stay home? Travel.

19. Can you name all 9 of Santa's reindeer's? No.

20. Angel on the tree top or a star? Depends on the rest of the tree...

21. Open the presents Christmas eve or Christmas day?  Christmas eve

Happy Turkey Day, everybody.
