Do you like White Christmases, or no?
I only really like snow for its aesthetic value. I do try mucking around in it- but I hate the cold so much that it never lasts long! ^^; Snow, let alonw on Christmass doesn't seem to exist in England these days... well... at least not in my region.
What's your favorite Holiday dish?
Traditional roast turkey, veg, stuffing, pigs in blankets and gravy. I made the most gorgeous gravy last year- made out of the juices from the dinner- chicken bisto, herbs, salt, pepper, red wine and cranberry juice.
Favorite desert?
Good old icecream and porfiterols... mmm
What did your greatest tree look like?
I don't recall... probably one from my childhood. Haven't made an effort the past few years- just one of those light-up ones.
Do you decorate your house? Inside and out?
We used to decorate the inside of the house when I was younger- but now that i'm older we all agree that it looks tacky! We put a bit up for my younger cousins though. As for outside- never have and never will. I find it really odd how people make the front of their houses completely covered in stuff. Their energy bills must be humongous!
Theres a house in Melksham, a village near my University town, which is well known for its over-elaborate christmas display. Seriously... I went past it the other night and was nearly blinded!

What was your favorite present?
My PS1 back in 1997-ish.
What's your favorite Christmas Carol?
I really don't like Christmas carols or songs. I just find them really depressing. The only Christmas song I really like is Fairytale of New York by The Pogues and Kirsty MacCol. I do love Irish music- and I really love people singing abusive lines at eachother!
Share an interesting Christmas story!
Nothing particularly springs to mind. The past couple of years i've been ill on Christmas Day. I used to love it but as i've been getting older i've been becoming more of a scrouge. I'm rather boring I think!
