1 Egg nog or snogging under the mistletoe?

2. What songs (other than Christmas themed songs) make you think of Christmas or the holidays?

my favorite Christmas song is Joni Mitchell's 'River'.

3. Would You Rather… fight to the death The Rock -or- fifteen clones of Barbara Bush? Hmm.

hmm, I am pro 'The Rock', and deathly afraid of Barbara Bush. In fact, how about the Rock (I call him Dwayne) and I against Barbara Bush? That is my offer to you, sir.

4. Any favorite Christmas memories to share? What was the best Christmas you ever had?

at the risk of sounding super cheeky, every Christmas with my family around is the best. In fact, am here now after the great blizzard of 2006. Read on below.

5. And to be fair - any Christmas disasters? What was the worst Christmas you ever had?

I can't think of a worst, but I just had a doozy of an experience. See, I was supposed to fly into Phoenix yesterday for a relaxing week in Phoenix with the fam. Normally, we drive. However, since Southwest Airlines has come to Denver, our options are many. Anyhow, it was set to be a stellar Christmas, with family in from as far as Florida. The wife and I got snowed into Denver during the blizzard. The airport was closed, the airport is still closed. So, the second the Governor opened the freeways last night... we drove our asses here. 16 hours straight through, and my brain is mostly melted right now. Could not miss Christmas with the family. Am here safe and sound and couldn't be happier.

Merry Christmas!
