1. So, what do you want for Christmas this year that you probably won't get?
TiVo or ReplayTV.
2. What do you know you will be receiving for Christmas this year?
Oh, probably the red wine glasses I asked for, since people now know that I don't want glasses that are RED, but wine glasses for red wine.
3. If you had the means to do so, what presents would you get some of your fellow bloggers? Be specific, it's more fun that way!
I'd buy everyone who had an Amazon list everything that was on it. I don't have time to be more specific than that right now.
4. Do you support any organizations that provide for the less fortunate during the holidays? Or do any volunteer work?
Nope, and nope. I may drop some change into the Salvation Army bucket, but that's about it.
We give in other directions.
5. Each year about this time, I notice Church attendance seems to spike, then drops off sharply after Christmas. It tickles me that these folks think they are pulling a fast one on the Big Guy. What is the most recent thing guilt has motivated you to do?
To clean up the crap littering my office. Like laptops that need to go to Service & Repair.
6. According to the commercials, the only way to truly tell someone you love them on Christmas day is to let them "Unwrap a Jaguar" automobile. Are there any examples of excessive commercialism and/or blatant disregard for the "Christmas Spirit" that really get under your skin?
That's about it. There's also a Lexus commercial like that, I think.
7. I remember a song where the singers wished they could teach the world to sing, in perfect harmony. What would you like to teach the world?
That it's okay to have different views on this. Respect others.
I just wish I could teach myself that first.
BONUS: Do they know it's Christmas time at all?
If they celebrate it, then yes. If not, then what's the point of converting them to our crass commercialism? Are they Christian? If not, then they don't need to know about it, thankyouverymuch.
