Christmas Meme Challenge

December 23, 2007

A frequent visitor/commenter to this site (Vince of What I got So Far), put up a Stupid Christmas Meme about “the capitalist experience of Christmas and not at all about the religious or spiritual experience Christmas was meant to be.” … I really do like the way he puts that. Anyways, I wasn’t directly tagged but my mind is near mush right now, so I will take a stab at something that takes little thought. Here we go, enjoy or not…

1. What do you really want for Christmas but you know nobody will get it for you? a new snare. I won’t get it because no one in my family understands drums and I’m too picky… actually, I’ll add socks to this list too.
2. What do you not want for Christmas but you know that somebody will get it for you?Another tap and die set (that I have gotten for 3 years running)
3. When do you open your gifts (Christmas eve or Christmas morning)?A little of both but the bulk of the gifts happen on Christmas Morning.
4. Do you prefer gifts wrapped or in gift bags? Wrapped, seriously what fun are bags?
5. Did you regift anything this year?I tried but the wife keeps me walking the straight and narrow.
6. What’s your favorite Christmas movie? National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation
7. What’s your favorite Christmas TV special? A Charlie Brown Christmas… (on a side note I really enjoy the Charlie Brown Christmas voiced by the cast of Scrubs)
8. Do you like egg nog? Yes
9. Real tree or fake tree, which do you prefer? I would rather have a real tree, but hate cleaning up after it so fake be our choice.
10. Would you actually use one of those fireplace DVDs if you don’t have a fireplace? I would use one for kenneling but never to watch it.
11. Are you sick of Christmas music yet? Only the Christmas related songs. I did want to stab someone at church today for all the Christmas carols… probably not the effect they had intended but whatever.
12. Did you getting up early to wait in line to do some Boxing Day shopping (Canada’s equivalent to Black Friday)? I don’t live in Canada but I did do the Black Friday thing either. The would be the definition of insanity to me. See my earlier post for thoughts on this.
13. When was the last time you sat on Santa’s lap? Never… Even as a child I had a bad feeling about old men who dressed up so children could sit on their lap.

Well, that’s it. Since it’s so close to Christmas I won’t be tagging any other bloggers with a similar assignment but feel free to fill it out, if you wish. Until later Thanks to Vince and have a Merry Christmas.
