Friday Five
You know the drill:
1. Do you enjoy the cold weather and snow for the holidays?
Hell no.
2. What is your ideal holiday celebration? How, where, with whom would you celebrate to make things perfect?
I like having the family around, but not too many people -- 20 is usually about the limit before I start to feel claustrophobic and socially overwhelmed. I really enjoy going to Bonnie's Aunt Jeanette's for Christmas, which has been the tradition for a few years now. Jeanette works hard to do a great spread, and all the womenfolk in that side of the family pitch in. There's always a lot of good eats (Polish folks).
3. Do you do have any holiday traditions?
Well, given that we spend Christmas with Bonnie's family, our tradition is usually to go to my Grandmother's on New Year's Day. Other than that, no traditions spring to mind that we adhere to particularly closely. Bonnie also like to visit a nearby shrine that does a huge Christmas lights display.
4. Do you do anything to help the needy?
We'll often participate in food and clothing drives.
5. What one gift would you like for yourself?
An iPod. One of these days...
