1) What is your general mood leading up to this holiday season?
Bizarre. Nothing to do with the holiday season, really - that I can take or leave. 2) What are you dreading the most, and excited about the most? Dreading the confrontation between various parts of the family, and excited about starting to save some money. 3) Do you celebrate the holidays in a secular fashion or religious? Neither, really. I don't typically celebrate. 4) What was the absolute worst christmas you ever had? Um...probably when I was fourteen. We were at a relative's house and she spent tons of money on each of us, but my mother didn't want to celebrate Christmas at all. I've always been really sensitive to disagreements between people and that just bugged the hell out of me, happy as I was at the time to get some shit for Christmas. 5) What was the best christmas you ever had? This one year we really pared it down - I think I was ten or eleven and we only got each other things we really needed or REALLY wanted. Nothing huge or anything. It was really fantastic, much more intimate and friendly feeling. 6) Did you ever believe in Santa Clause? If you did, when did you ‘find out’. I never did. My mother always told us the truth about that sort of thing. Her rationale was that if she lied to us about an old man in a suit, what else would we assume she lied to us about? 7) Have you ever re-gifted anything? Or knew someone personally who re-gifted? No. 8 ) Can you wrap presents well? Yes. I learned from my mother, who used to do it to make a living. Unfortunately, it looks very uniform and all.
9 ) As you look back on this year, did you learn anything new about yourself? Yes. I learned that I have quite a few mental issues to work out (seriously, as much as I'd like to laugh at that) and also to give less of a fuck what other people think of what I'm doing with my life. 10 ) Did you set any goals for yourself this year? And if so, how are you doing? I did. I did not achieve any of them, as usual. 11 ) Did you donate anything to a charity this year? No. 12 ) What’s the best present you’ve ever received? It wasn't for Christmas, but either my keyboard or my laptop. 13 ) What’s the best present you’ve ever given? Hmm...that's hard to tell. I really don't know which one was most appreciated. 14 ) Do you miss anyone this holiday season? Yes, but just because I miss them. 15 ) In general, do you think the holidays make people happier or more miserable? I think it depends on the state of mind before the holiday season begins. 16 ) Have you ever heard a live charol or chior during Christmas? Yes. 17 ) Do you celebrate any other occasions during this holiday season? No. 18 ) If you can find one thing to be most thankful for, what would it be? That things are finally looking up. 19 ) Christmas in Iceland is very very cold, and if young icleandic lads who flirt with popular org men get frosbite, I’d never wish that on them--but I wouldn’t cry over it either. (this is not a question) :übermewn: 20 ) Did you spend more or less this year than last year? Same amount - nada. But if I had had any money, I would've spent a shitload. 21 ) Do you buy your pets Christmas presents? Nope. But if we're eating a lot of food I tend to give them treats because I'm weird. 22 ) What’s your favorite Holiday song? Silent Night, traditional song-wise. Probably some random other thing as far as modern stuff goes. 23 ) Have you ever had a white Christmas? Yeah. 24 ) If you could spend the holiday with another orger, which orger would it be (no, Ocean did not put me up to this) Alej and Myle 
25 ) Fruitcake - a great gift, or controversial poo poo? POO. HE'S COMING AGAIN | |

(this is not a question) you should fly over there and see for yourself 20 ) Did you spend more or less this year than last year? same 21 ) Do you buy your pets Christmas presents? ?
yes, since it was his first christmas with us and needs chewtoys 22 ) What’s your favorite Holiday song? I don't know yet! Maybe it's on this new CD I just got yesterday? the one with the questionable lyrics

On the 'DECEMBER HOLIDAY QUESTIONAIRE 2008' thread you said:
> 1 ) What is your general mood leading up to this holiday season? Ive been to busy to consider my mood!
> 2 ) What are you dreading the most, and excited about the most? not really dreading anything...most excited about getting to the next semester.> 3 ) Do you celebrate the holidays in a secular fashion or religious? Well, both.. I am a solid believer but not presently affiliated with a house of worship. > 4 ) What was the absolute worst Christmas you ever had? THe year I knew I'd ask for divorce as I leaned across a large Christmas box and pondered where life had gotten too. > 5 ) What was the best Christmas you ever had? I love them all. > 6 ) Did you ever believe in Santa Clause? If you did, when did you ‘find out’. I think I was 7 maybe. I had managed to damage a good deal of the toys and mom had me drag them all up to her bed... She then announced: THERE IS NO SANTA, THERE IS YOUR FATHER AND I AND WE WORKED HARD FOR THE TOYS YOU HAVE DESTROYED!!!  I cried my eyes out for hours... not because she ruined my belief system ( I kinda figured the gig out) but because I thought the following Christmases would be skimpy.. I was always clever like that.
> 7 ) Have you ever re-gifted anything? Or knew someone personally who re-gifted? As the main gift no! but as an add on to the main gift, yes! I am very blessed and if the item didn't fit me it certainly deserved to be loved by the one whom would love it! > 8 ) Can you wrap presents well?

Very pleased with myself. > 10 ) Did you set any goals for yourself this year? And if so, how are you doing? SEE ABOVE > 11 ) Did you donate anything to a charity this year? YES> 12 ) What’s the best present you’ve ever received? Oh, I couldn't go there! > 13 ) What’s the best present you’ve ever given? WHo knows but when the kids opened ipods not so long back you would have thought God was standing there saying, "good news, your in"! > 14 ) Do you miss anyone this holiday season? mehhhhh > 15 ) In general, do you think the holidays make people happier or more miserable? I think it can go either way, depending on life circumstances at the time > 16 ) Have you ever heard a live charol or choir during Christmas? yes most definitely...it's one of my biggest joys during the season...beautiful and heartwarming > 17 ) Do you celebrate any other occasions during this holiday season? no > 18 ) If you can find one thing to be most thankful for, what would it be? family,friends,and health.... > 19 ) Christmas in Iceland is very very cold, and if young icleandic lads who flirt with popular org men get frosbite, I’d never wish that on them--but I wouldn’t cry over it either.
