Then send this to a whole bunch of people you know, INCLUDING the person that sent it to you......Tis the Season.
HO HO HO!!!

8. What is your favorite Christmas Album? The Lost Christmas Eve – Trans-Siberian Orchestra
9. Do you have a nativity scene? The Goddess births the Sun every year around this time… all I have to do is look up at the sky during the daytime & voila, there’s the nativity scene. Dies Natalis Solis Invictus!!! (Sun God, Sun God, He’s a real fun God, Sun God, Sun God, Ra Ra Ra!)
10. Mail or email Christmas cards? Snail mail
11.Worst Christmas gift you ever received? These gods-awful socks… they were red & green & had separate toes & each toe had a Christmas ornament on it…

22. Most annoying thing about this time of the year? The Christmas music & displays that started getting old by Thanksgiving since they’d already been up before Hallowe’en
23. Favorite ornament theme or color? Purple, green & gold… that’s right… all my Yules look like Mardi Gras
24. Favorite for Christmas dinner? Heh, sushi. Or grilled mahi mahi.
25. What do you want for Christmas this year? An external 250G hard-drive
26. Who is most likely to respond to this? Dunno
27. Who is least likely to respond to this? Everyone else
I am so stuffed right now. We had our holiday party at the Main Street Station's buffet. I tried manapua which was not too bad. Everything was fresh & had good flavor - I've got to see if I can talk the old folks into trying it out sometime.
Tomorrow we have to go to Tania's house for a 'tree-trimming' party tomorrow. I'm hoping it's short. I got a bottle of wine from our party gift exchange extraveganza so I at least have something I can bring along. I wouldn't really care about it because we're always stuck spending a day w/the relatives, but if it's as cold as it has been, I'm going to have to leave Chelsie locked up in the bathroom & I'm not looking forward to that mess.
