: Well, I'm sure that any question about the Christmas holiday has already been asked, but I feel so non-jolly right now that I just need to air it. Here are the questions:
: 1. LUST - You can spend the night in front of the fireplace with some eggnog (or alcohol) and one person - who is it?
Probably the same guy I've been wanting for years. Boring answer, sorry.
: 2. PRIDE - What do you consider to be the "best gift" you've ever given someone at Christmas? (and virginity doesnt count)
This is a tough one. I don't think any of my gifts stand out so much.
But I do participate in an Operation Santa thing for the poor kids, so I'm proud of those in the sense that I know these kids will have something to open on Christmas Day. They might also hate me because I always buy them clothes. But it's cold outside!
: 3. GLUTTONY - Does your family have any holiday ritual of foods consumed on Christmas Eve or Christmas day?
We order pizza every christmas eve. Mom tries to pour everyone eggnog, but it's always rejected. Then, on Christmas morning, with breakfast, she tries to break out glasses of V-8 for everyone, and it is again rejected. Why this one time a year she decides that we might change our minds on these beverages, I'll never know. But both gross me out.
: 4. ANGER - Whats the shittiest thing thats ever happened on a Christmas which ALMOST or SUCCEEDED IN destroying your Christmas spirit?
My brother lost his job right before Christmas.
: 5. ENVY - Did someone you know get a gift for Christmas that honestly made you jealous? What was it?
Sure--cause I'm a bit superficial, my friend got a Burberry wallet that I adored. It's rather nice.
: 6. SLOTH - How long ago were you dont with your Christmas shopping, or have you even started? Is this the normal pattern you follow?
I finished Saturday. Usually I end up finishing my shopping on Christmas Eve. And I wrap everything on Christmas morning.
: 7. GREED - How important are the material possessions to all that is Christmas? Saints aside - we all like gifts... be semi-honest.
Well - to be honest, aside from the debt I incur, I enjoy shopping for my family. And oh hell, who doesn't like getting things?
: Oh, and buy me gifts:
Porn or cookies..got it.
