Here, read this meme and pretend I said something interesting, please

1. Wrapping paper or gift bags?
Gift bags whenever possible (I believe in energy conservation) but they don't work so well with something, and some PEOPLE, gift lookers!!

2. Real tree or artificial?
REAL! Must be real, always! You hear me, Mr. Logo?? ALWAYS!

3. When do you put up the tree?
As soon as I can talk Mr. Logo into it Usually around the 15th

4. When do you take the tree down?
After New Year's or Epiphany

5. Do you like eggnog?
Eggnog is lovely, especially with Capn Morgan

6. Favorite gift received as a child?
A Barbie dream house from my gramma, ooooooo, Barbie was stylin'

7. Do you have a nativity scene?
Yup, if you lived in Naples and don't have Il Precepe of some kind I think you get a fine or something, at least a very stern lecture from an Italian grandmother, be afraid

8. Hardest person to buy for?
I dunno, I figure if you can't decide what exactly someone would want you get them food. Everyone likes food, and now its so easy to get people gift cards, there is no such thing as hard to buy for anymore!

9. Easiest person to buy for?
The kids, they are very clear on what they want and therefore I am very clear on what they want

10. Mail or email Christmas cards?
Mail, and late

Nope

This far and no further, dang it!

Stop the Cavalry by Jona Lewie

18. Travel at Christmas or stay home?
At home for part, and with local family for part

19. Can you name all of Santa's reindeer?
Probably not, am I allowed to Google?

20. Angel on the tree top or a star?
Star, with lights in it

21. Open the presents Christmas Eve or morning?
One on Christmas Eve, the rest on Christmas morning

22. Most annoying thing about this time of year?
Commercialism

23. Favorite ornament theme or color?
Penguins, I love my penguin ornaments. Ive been sort of collecting them for years but I keep it quiet because I don't want a bunch of stupid, ugly penguins given to me which I would then be forced to use

24. Favorite for Christmas dinner?
We all love the appetizers and the desserts, so we focus on those Christmas day. The 7 Seafood dinner on Christmas Eve is always a big hit. Although this year the esteemed elder sister is making a standing roast, ooooooo

Nope

Well, what do you give Santa? Oh....

It was a local thing.

Hey, looks like we're inadvertently going to end up greeting the sun. MuNKi wasn't a huge fan of the idea, but Sluggie has a tummy bug, so we're camped out in the living room by the firewatching Jeeves and Wooster DVDs.

Apparently, the part about the Cap'n Morgan in the eggnog proved interesting, Logo. Piqued my interest, too.

Happy, merry Christmas from one of your lurkers--you can only imagine how interesting I am;)

I accidently drank unshaken eggnog when I was a child, and was forever traumatized by that icky taste that I never drank it again.

Logophile said...

Grunt~ The finger (heh heh heh)

Candace~ The Salute to the Sun is one position that never did much for me.

Al~ Cap'n Morgan is always interesting!

Lime~ Oh my

Breazy~ Nicely done, and Merry Christmas to you!

Sar~ That is with an 'R' :p

Blither~ Rum balls? :D

Fred~ I hope there was no bruising,
Merry Christmas


Diesel~ Wow, both of them, dang. Next time just go with methadone.


Actonbell~ That sounds traumatic, I can understand that reaction. A very Merry Christmas to you too!
