Okay, so it's the "holiday season"... bah humbug. But, in keeping with the season, I'll answer the Christmas edition of the Monday mission.

1. So, what do you want for Christmas this year that you probably won't get?

Besides the more ethereal "world peace," "a freakin' clue" answers, I'll stick to the concrete: a new widescreen television and a library of DVDs.

2. What do you know you will be receiving for Christmas this year?

Sweaters, always sweaters

3. If you had the means to do so, what presents would you get some of your
fellow bloggers? Be specific, it's more fun that way!

The only other Blogger I know or even read is Chris: if I could, I'd fly him and his lovely wife to Winnipeg for a visit.

4. Do you support any organizations that provide for the less fortunate during the holidays? Or do any volunteer work?

I used to but not so much any more.

5. Each year about this time, I notice Church attendance seems to spike, then drops off sharply after Christmas. It tickles me that these folks think they are pulling a fast one on the Big Guy. What is the most recent thing guilt has motivated you to do?

Everything I do is motivated by guilt.

6. According to the commercials, the only way to truly tell someone you love them on Christmas day is to let them "Unwrap a Jaguar" automobile. Are there any examples of excessive commercialism and/or blatant disregard for the "Christmas Spirit" that really get under your skin?

Yes.


7. I remember a song where the singers wished they could teach the world to sing, in perfect harmony. What would you like to teach the world?

I don't know, some sort of craft I suppose.

BONUS: Do they know it's Christmas time at all?

Probably, but do you think they care?


Today's comment question: What is your favorite holiday beverage?

Egg nog, lots of it!!! MMmmmmm... it's almost wort the trouble of the holidays to get a frothy cup of nog!!!
