five questions about the holidays
Stolen shamelessly from grayhawkfh....
1. What was the best gift you got for the holidays as a child?
It was usually the LEGO sets.
2. What tradition(s) do you still observe during the holidays from your early years?
All of them, but the silliest and best is my sister and I blaming each other for the goofy handmade ornaments. (All the ornaments on the tree at my folks' place are either hand-made or gifts.)
3. Whats the worst gift you have ever given or been given?
Just the usual stuff -- a shirt that TOTALLY wasn't me, or something.
4. What song or songs do you HAVE to listen to every year to get you in the holiday mood?
Mitch Miller and the gang -- "Must Be Santa".
5. What new tradition have you started since you've grown up/gotten older?
I have my family and a bunch of my friends over for Christmas Eve dinner -- I show off like a prima donna and cook fantastic food, and everyone has a great time. Then after everyone leaves, I have a glass of port or whiskey and a bit of chocolate, and toast those who're no longer with us.
