1) Yes, single color (white) non flashing wound spirally, but just as an efficient way to put them on. Idea is a nice even spread.

2) REAL ONLY. Fake tree=fake holiday to me [img]smile.gif[/img] 8' Balsam Fir. The little needled kind, and big enough to *just* fit below the ceiling with the top decoration on it. Oh, and nice and big around.

3) Angel my 5 year old made at school. Formerly a star or nice glass "top" ornament. Otherwise I have ALL the 91-present Star Trek ship light/ornaments. (Just bought the 1991 for $200, I'm a geek!) and plenty of "regular" hanging ornaments. No frosting, icicles or garland

4) My dog could care less, although I'm sure he wonders what the hell is wrong with us.

5) Display nice cards on high surfaces to be seen, or hang them on string near the tree. We have a "card holder" near our door for the rest.

6) Traditional Ham or Turkey

7) Family and a few close friends. With many friends, spending some special time with them is the gift to both.

8) Hints only, get what I get based on hints and ideas.

9) Already got it, this year is unique. New furniture for/from my wife to/from me, and a lot of work on my motorcycle

10) Absolutely-NOT. Don't like ribbon candy either, ARG. Eggnog? Well, that's a different story.

11) Just Christmas and New Year's Day off. Save my time off for warm weather

12) Both, plus all the claymation and Winny the Pooh. I don't watch so much now, but remember when I did, so I make sure my kids get to watch.

13) Neither. I shop as I shop. Some things are done in November (none on Black Friday) and some on Christmas Eve.

14) Cold and wintery. Last year, no snow and too warm. This year gives me hope. When Bing sings Dreaming of a White Christmas, he's talking about New England!

Happy Holidays, whatever you celebrate. And you freaky non-celerants: Have fun in spite of yourselves!
