[Flatfoot]

1. Do you send out Christmas Cards?
I don't. I let my wife take care of all that stuff. If it were up to me, it probably wouldn't get done. I'm kinda stingy about the stamps, which we need for bills that can't be paid online. From me, family members get phone calls. 😀

2. Are you a fan of egg-nog?
I. fucking. LOVE. EGG NOG!!!

3. What do you want to find in your stocking?
Right now, I know there's a big plastic candy cane filled with Reese's peanut butter cups in there, and I'm completely cool with that. 😀

4. Do you have a big dinner on Christmas eve/day?
It depends, I guess. Now, we live right down the street from my in-laws, who have us over for dinner more often than not. My wife'll cook a holiday breakfast as part of a tradition she wanted to start.

5. What do you do on the day after Christmas?
I'll be working the day before and after Christmas. It's the busiest time of the year for the armored car industry.

6. Do you have any resolutions for the New Year?
Nahh. I don't do that. If I need a personal paradigm-shift at any time, I don't do it just because it's a new year. Well, I guess that's not entirely true. I plan on opening another savings account today, and allotting to it from my paycheck, so that holiday spending isn't so stressful, next year.

7. What's your favorite part of the Holiday season?
The end! 😛 Okay, fine. Umm... the egg nog! 😀

8. How do you like your pop-corn?
Caramel-covered.

9. Do you use colored lights or white lights?
I've always felt white lights looked classier. I wouldn't mind a big stream of blue, though.

10. What do you put on the top of your tree?
Just your typical star. Nothin' fancy.
