White Christmas

1. If you live where you get winter weather, do you prefer your Christmas to be white? If you never see snow, do you wish for it?

Yes. White, please. Maybe not three feet like we had one year, but yes, snow is better.

2. How many holiday cards did you receive from people you hadn't sent cards to, after the "mailing deadline?" Did you send a card anyway?

We haven't sent our cards yet, so this "deadline" thing mystifies me a bit. I don't send cards just because we got something from someone. At least, not until next year. Once the cards are done, they are done.

3. When the clock strikes Midnight on New Year's, will you be at home, at a party, or somewhere else?

Home. I stay that night: too many screwballs out.

4. Have you ever taken the keys and driven home a friend that you felt was too drunk to drive? If not, do you think you would attempt to if that situation ever arose?

I'd probably try, or perhaps just hide their keys. Then either have them stay over or call a cab.

5. Tell us about a gift that you either bought or made for someone else that you wanted for yourself!

Many of the gifts I get Beast anymore tend to be shared gifts, like the DVR we bought this year.

6. What chores do you have left for the holidays?

Well, cards (as noted above), wrapping gifts, planning the food on Friday, some more shopping....

7. If you could buy one gift for yourself where money was not an obstacle, what would it be?

A (small) house in the mountains.

8. What is one of your family’s favorite holiday traditions?

Baby Jesus doesn't appear in the creche until Christmas morning. Right now, it's just everyone staring at an empty spot in the stable and waiting.

9. If you could give a fellow blogger a holiday gift, which would it be and what would you give them?

I would love to give Cheesehead a memory wipe and a new job. Unfortunately, her blog has 'gone dark' and I'm not sure how to let her know how sad her situation has made me.
