Shortbread rules!

Edited 2008-12-06 02:39 pm (UTC)

I had a strawberry shortcake kitchen! I had completely forgotten about it.

Packs of tights for christmas? That stinks!

sadly... it was more useful the six years of purses....

Muppet Family Christmas!! I forgot about that one...

1-Firstly, do you like Christmas? Mostly. It's mostly about getting together with the family for a meal now that we're all adults. My husband has two brothers, and neither they nor we have started our own families yet, so it doesn't have that kind of magic that children associate with it just yet. It's generally a looooong day, though.
2 - Christmas or New Year? New Year - there's a little less forced happiness.
3 - Favourite Christmas movie? Love Actually and Nightmare Before Christmas (my originality, let me show you it).
4 - Favourite Christmas song (Traditional)? Adeste Fideles. If we're talking circa 14thC, Balulalow
5 - Favourite Christmas song (Modern)? Santa Baby
6 - Best gift ever received? I got a pretty awesome bike last year - a sparkly purple Schwinn Stingray. Retro awesome!
7 - Worst gift ever received? Jewellery and fragrance from people who don't bother to ask my preferences (or check my allergies to certain metals). Oh, last year I got gastro from my brother-in-law. That was seventeen kinds of awesome.
8 - What do you love most about this time of year? Singing carols, start of summer, driving past the houses with Christmas lights, lots of seafood, knowing that I have eight glorious weeks of not teaching the monkeys...
9 - Most annoying thing about this time of year? Shopping crowds, flies, more drunk drivers, tinny carols in the shopping centres, people who put fake snow as part of their decorating. Gaiz. Australia. You're not fooling anyone.
10 - Dream Christmas gift? Hmm. I'll admit to disappointment when the pony I asked for three years in a row failed to materialise. So there's that. Oh! I'd like to be right about something... *is cryptic* I wouldn't say no to Lucius Malfoy, either. Or Sam Winchester, for that matter. ^_^

OMG SANTA BABY MAKES ME LOL :D

It's the BEST CHRISTMAE SONG EVAR. Materialism in an adorably catchy package!

TRUFAX ;D

Where did you get those icons from? :P When I clicked on the person credited in your userpics it said the user isn't registered :X

Eh, I bet I saved it wrong. Hang on.

EDIT: Fixed! I removed the underscore!

Edited 2008-12-07 12:21 am (UTC)

WOOO Thankies :P

1-Firstly, do you like Christmas? Only because I get a holiday and gifts. I'm rather jaded about the holiday itself.
2 - Christmas or New Year? Christmas. It lasts longer.
3 - Favourite Christmas movie? That Muppet Christmas movie. Or Charlie Brown. Not a big fan of Christmas movies.
4 - Favourite Christmas song (Traditional)? O Holy Night
5 - Favourite Christmas song (Modern) ? ...does Silver Bells count? It certainly isn't traditional.
6 - Best gift ever received? Socks. Honestly, I love a good pair of quality socks.
7 - Worst gift ever received? A paper snowflake.
8 - What do you love most abut this time of year? Time off.
9 - Most annoying thing about this time of year? The commercialism.
10 - Dream Christmas gift? A job in my chosen career/profession. In terms of actual physical items, I can't think of anything. (When your life's been compartmentalized into boxes for several months, you realize what you can do without.)

aww, A Charlie Brown Christmas is so sweet. I'm going to have to remember to watch that one, but I always feel as if I'm about to cry when he brings that little tree back and no one likes it hahahah.

1-Firstly, do you like Christmas? Yes.
2 - Christmas or New Year? Both! Even if the New years are not as much fun as Christmas
3 - Favourite Christmas movie? A Norwegian traditional one. It's been aired on Christmas eve morning since before I was born. And is still just as popular. Called "Reisen til Julestjernen" Translation directly "Travel to the Christmas star" Sounds just wierd in English.

6 - Best gift ever received? I can't decide. I have gotten so many great gifts up the years.
7 - Worst gift ever received? Socks. I have enough of them as it is.
8 - What do you love most abut this time of year? The way it brings our family together, My brother lives far away and I only see him two times a year. Summer and Christmas.

6 - Best gift ever received? A baby grand piano.

8 - What do you love most abut this time of year? Snow, the music, christmas lights, hot beverages
9 - Most annoying thing about this time of year? people who don't like Christmas and complain

1- Firstly, do you like Christmas?
Yes, Christmas is usually always a good time of the year! :D

2 - Christmas or New Year?
Christmas, because New Years is a bit overwhelming. All this "starting a-new," and all that. I'm a bit intimidated by change.

3 - Favourite Christmas movie?
I'm a giant sucker for A Charlie Brown Christmas (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Charlie_Brown_Christmas). xD I've watched it almost every year on television since I was little.

4 - Favourite Christmas song (Traditional)?
Ukrainian Carol! We used to do that piece when I used to play violin. The energy was so great.

5 - Favourite Christmas song (Modern)?
I don't have one. :P

6 - Best gift ever received?
My friend got me some really beautiful minx-fur paintbrushes last year! They are so much better than camel-hair, that's for sure. -__-;;

7 - Worst gift ever received?
Haha! Okay, one year I got a pair of pants from my aunt. This aunt lives states away and we don't usually see each other, so it's difficult to know what sort of things I like to wear. These pants were made of polyester and they flapped around like sails. It was ridiculous. D:

8 - What do you love most abut this time of year?
The pretty decorations and the cold weather (we hardly get any of that here)! Oh, and that food. ^^

9 - Most annoying thing about this time of year?
Crazy shoppers! Like right now, I really need to go Christmas shopping before it gets too late, but I know what I am looking for. Everyone else is running around now like a chicken without a head, trying to get all the toys, etc., they can - even though money is a crisis for many this year. Insane.

10 - Dream Christmas gift?
A trip around the world! Steph - I would so visit you and then Cindy! ♥
