: 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?

Whoever I'm currently involved with. I wouldn't serve eggnog unless she was wanting me to throw up on her, though. Kind of an odd time of year to discover that kink!

: 2. PRIDE - What do you consider to be the "best gift" you've ever given someone at Christmas? (and virginity doesnt count)

Hard to say. I think the 'best gift' can only exist from the point of view of the recipient. The reason you're doing it is for them, not you.

: 3. GLUTTONY - Does your family have any holiday ritual of foods consumed on Christmas Eve or Christmas day?

You mean like drinking eggnog from a high heel shoe? nah....

: 4. ANGER - Whats the shittiest thing thats ever happened on a Christmas which ALMOST or SUCCEEDED IN destroying your Christmas spirit?

Boy, if that HAS happened, I've most certainly suppressed it. I dunno, the holidays never really got all George Bailey on me.

: 5. ENVY - Did someone you know get a gift for Christmas that honestly made you jealous? What was it?

Nah. Again, that's not what it's about.

: 6. SLOTH - How long ago were you dont with your Christmas shopping, or have you even started? Is this the normal pattern you follow?

Done and done. Umm..yeah, I'm usually done 3-4 days before xmas.

: 7. GREED - How important are the material possessions to all that is Christmas? Saints aside - we all like gifts... be semi-honest.

I think it's much more important when you're a kid. As you get older, you start to care less and less about "getting" stuff. Sure, everyone likes gifts. Yet, in one way, I kind of resent Christmas because it kind of legislates gift-giving. Whereas I believe if you want to give a gift to someone, you should be able to do it for that reason alone whenever you want to. I'm not a big fan of forced obligations.

: Oh, and buy me gifts:

As John Houseman used to say, "You must eeeaarn it..." Is he still alive?
