: 1. LUST - You can spend the night in front of the fireplace with some eggnog (or alcohol) and one person - who is it?
-Morgan Webb or Meg White.
: 2. PRIDE - What do you consider to be the "best gift" you've ever given someone at Christmas? (and virginity doesnt count)
-To hard to call, I have given many perfect gifts over the years.
: 3. GLUTTONY - Does your family have any holiday ritual of foods consumed on Christmas Eve or Christmas day?
-We've had breakfast at my parents house on Christmas morning for a few years now. I like that.
: 4. ANGER - Whats the shittiest thing thats ever happened on a Christmas which ALMOST or SUCCEEDED IN destroying your Christmas spirit?
-Me and my dad got into a huge fight.
: 5. ENVY - Did someone you know get a gift for Christmas that honestly made you jealous? What was it?
-In like the 5th grade, one of my friends got a Haro Master, which was the highest priced/best quality freestyle bike that Haro made then. Oh yeah, and this one punk in the neighborhood who would seriously get every Gi Joe figure from that year. Every plane, every tank, even the terrordrome, and the aircraft carrier. He got it ALL. Every year. But, playing with all that was almost distracting, and I preffered the small special ops teams that I had at home.
: 6. SLOTH - How long ago were you dont with your Christmas shopping, or have you even started? Is this the normal pattern you follow?
-Finished last night. Got everybody at work gift certificates to the pub I frequent.
: 7. GREED - How important are the material possessions to all that is Christmas? Saints aside - we all like gifts... be semi-honest.
-Well, it looks like I am going to be really happy this year with what I am getting. At first I was going to get an iPod. But, converting mom's windows ME machine to handle it proved to be to difficult, so I decided that I would not get anything this year, and would send the iPod back. But, a few days later, my dad called me up and just basically said "What do we have to do to make it work"... I told him my plans, which were to not get anything this year, and get a computer next year. Then he basically told me to get it now. AND I get to keep the iPod too which will work great with my iBook. I won't be getting anything for my birthday or xmas next year though. Who cares.
