1. Wrapping paper or gift bags?
I’m conflicted. Wrapping presents is one of my favorite things to do, but so is saving trees.
2. Real tree or artificial?
See above.
3. When do you put up the tree?
Well, I don’t actually have a tree since I move at least once a year. So usually I hope some nice family out of care or familial obligation will invite me to their tree decorating events. This year it was Darin and Kim.
5. Do you like eggnog?
Yes, and I am resentful when vendors try to limit my heart-attack-in-a-cup consumption to one measly season a year.
6. Favorite gift received as a child?
A double-deck tape player that I used to play my Tiffany tape over and over, day after day.
8. Hardest person to buy for?
Chris. After three thousand years of dating, the only present I’ve ever given him that he liked was a pair of bike shoes. He found and bought them on Ebay, and I wrote him a check.
9. Easiest person to buy for?
Me! I always know exactly what I want.
10. Worst Christmas gift you ever received?
Before I could read, but around the time that I was pretending I could read, I accidentally opened one of my older brother’s presents. It was a big bag of G.I. Joe action figures, so naturally I burst into tears. I like to think it was because I was anti-war back then too, but actually I just really wanted Strawberry Shortcake.
11. E-mail or snail-mail Christmas cards?
See answers to 1 and 2.
12. Favorite Christmas Movie?
Elf and While You Were Sleeping (you know you like that movie, too)
13. When do you start shopping for Christmas?
December 26. I get things for people whenever I see something I think they’ll like with the intention of saving it for Christmas. This works approximately 0.0% of the time because I can’t wait to give it to them NOW.
15. Favorite thing to eat at Christmas?
Grandma Dickey’s red, white, and green layered jello.
17. Favorite Christmas song?
River (Joni Mitchell)
18. Travel at Christmas or stay home?
I don’t have offspring, so I am generally expected to be a traveling circus.
25. Have you ever been Christmas caroling?
This questionnaire obviously wasn’t made by a Mormon.
26. Hot chocolate or hot apple cider?
Both. For those who live in the holy land, you ought to go to Cocoa Café in Salt Lake (282 East 900 South). They make home-made Italian bittersweet hot cocoa with steamed milk that is to die for. It’s worth every penny. 400 pennies, if I remember correctly.
27. Do you think Antonio Banderas is incredibly hot?
Why... yes, I do.

Let me get this straight, you skipped 10 or more questions? I demand you retake this by next Christmas.
"I think we're alone now; there doesn't seem to be any one around!" Still not positive this is an actual Tiffany song, but either way, it's now stuck in my head!
