1. So after waiting on line for 45 minutes, you finally get to sit on Santa's lap and whisper in his ear. What do you tell him you want for Christmas?
My family back. An official Red Ryder, carbine action, two-hundred shot range model air rifle, with a compass in the stock and this thing which tells time. To be appreciated for once. Nothing. The commercialism of this holiday really disgusts me. Romance.
2. Sometimes, the holidays aren't quite as smooth as a fresh snowfall and things can get super stressful. What bugs you most during this time of year?
Seeing cute couples sip hot chocolate together. It makes me want to throw mine up-- unless, I'm one of them of course. Money. How the hell can I buy gifts for everyone I want to? The carolers. Those songs make me want to throw things. My stupid brother. He's such a jerkface when the family's in town and likes to make himself seem cool by screwing with me! It's hard to differentiate this time from any other. I'm generally stressed out and disgruntled.
3. If it weren't Christmas time and you were headed towards Blockbuster or picking out choices for your Netflix queue, what would you be most likely to rent?
Liar, Liar Any National Lampoon's movie Napoleon Dynamite Bridget Jones' Diary Gone With the Wind
4. Smell that evergreen? When do you and your family typically put up your Christmas tree?
Whenever we've saved up enough money to afford one. A couple weeks early. The day before Christmas. On Black Friday! We don't have one-- we don't celebrate Christmas.
5. In general, how do you feel about holiday movies?
They're my favorite! Gag. They're cheesy and ridiculous. Depends on my mood. Sometimes I love 'em and sometimes I hate 'em. They're on TV, every year, and I'm sick of it. Personally, I'd rather watch a slasher or mobster movie, but they have their time and place.
6. Getting a tree, dressing it, singing songs, cooking... holidays are all about tradition-- what's your favorite one?
Opening presents. Watching my family/friends open the gifts I gave them. Throwing snowballs at the mailman-- oh, you don't do that one in your family? Your loss, man. Kissing under the mistletoe. Jumping for joy once it's all over. Whew.
