It's so boring here today. Here's a Christmas pole.

1) Do you celebrate Christmas? If not...what do you celebrate? If so...do you celebrate for religious reasons or are you shallow like me and only celebrate it because you like sparkly lights and gift giving?

Blue) What is your favorite Christmas movie?

Cheese) How old were you when you figured out Santa wasn't real? (If you still believe he is real, feel free to elaborate.)

Thirty-seven) Who is your favorite reindeer and why?

Beer) Do you have a nativity scene in your house? If so...is it a standard one or do you have something like Star Wars figurines in it like my friend does?

Broom) Do you get a tree? If so...have you put it up yet? If you have any animals, do they try to destroy the tree like mine do? Bonus points for PIP.

    blue - A Charlie Brown Christmas
    cheese - I don't remember... 8 or 9.
    thirty-seven - rudolph - duh, his nose is red.
    Beer - Yes, two.  One is traditional, one is silver and modern.
    broom - we get a live tree for the living room, and I do two full size fake trees.
  • 1) Do you celebrate Christmas? If not...what do you celebrate? If so...do you celebrate for religious reasons or are you shallow like me and only celebrate it because you like sparkly lights and gift giving?Yes, but we usually celebrate it the weekend before.  Out of my brother, my SIL and me, someone is usually working Christmas so we just do it before.I am a total scrooge though and I am not really fond of Christmas.
    Blue) What is your favorite Christmas movie?I don't know - nothing really comes to mind.
    Cheese) How old were you when you figured out Santa wasn't real? (If you still believe he is real, feel free to elaborate.)I'm not sure, maybe 2nd grade?
    Thirty-seven) Who is your favorite reindeer and why?Rudolph - cuz he's the only one I know?
    Beer) Do you have a nativity scene in your house? If so...is it a standard one or do you have something like Star Wars figurines in it like my friend does?No.  
    Broom) Do you get a tree? If so...have you put it up yet? If you have any animals, do they try to destroy the tree like mine do? Bonus points for PIP.My mom put up our small 4 ft one while we were on vacation, otherwise it wouldn't be up.  2 of my cats like to scratch it, but they haven't knocked it down yet.

  • 1) Do you celebrate Christmas?  Yes indeedy. If not...what do you celebrate? If so...do you celebrate for religious reasons or are you shallow like me and only celebrate it because you like sparkly lights and gift giving?  It's a combination of religion, tradition and sparkly lights & gift giving.  I grew up in church and still hold basic beliefs even though I don't attend anymore.  And Christmas just...is.  It's there, I'm going to celebrate it because I always have and I love getting together with family. 

    Blue) What is your favorite Christmas movie?  Ooooh that's hard. (that's what she said).  Probably Rudolph.  Or It's a Wonderful Life.  Or Love Actually if we're counting that as a Christmas movie.  Oooh!  Or Friday After Next.

    Cheese) How old were you when you figured out Santa wasn't real? (If you still believe he is real, feel free to elaborate.)  I honestly can't remember so it must not have been very traumatic.

    Thirty-seven) Who is your favorite reindeer and why?  Prancer.  His name makes him sound fancy.

    Beer) Do you have a nativity scene in your house? If so...is it a standard one or do you have something like Star Wars figurines in it like my friend does?  I don't, but I would like one.  My mom has, like, 4 so maybe she can give me one.  It would be pretty standard.

    Broom) Do you get a tree?  from the basement, it's not real. If so...have you put it up yet? Nope, hoping to do that this weekend!  If you have any animals, do they try to destroy the tree like mine do? Bonus points for PIP.  I don't have any, but here's a picture of a kitten my mom was fostering in a stocking.

  • 1)  I celebrate Christmas, but I really wouldn't be sad if I didn't.  I don't like being forced to give gifts on a specific day, and I don't really like getting gifts ever.  I just think it's too much about money.

    Blue) National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation
    Cheese) I don't remember... maybe 6 or so?
    Thirty-seven) Blitzen, cause he has the best name.
    Beer) Absolutely not.
    Broom)  We have a fake tree, but we're not putting it up this year.  My cat likes to climb Christmas trees a lot.

  • 1) Do you celebrate Christmas? If not...what do you celebrate? If so...do you celebrate for religious reasons or are you shallow like me and only celebrate it because you like sparkly lights and gift giving?

    Blue) What is your favorite Christmas movie? Home Alone 1 & 2.  Equally.

    Cheese) How old were you when you figured out Santa wasn't real? (If you still believe he is real, feel free to elaborate.) I was about 4.  My brother told me on December 23rd(ish) that Santa did a test run and fell off the roof and died.  I cried for days.

    Thirty-seven) Who is your favorite reindeer and why? Nixon.  Cause it's a cool name.

    Beer) Do you have a nativity scene in your house? If so...is it a standard one or do you have something like Star Wars figurines in it like my friend does? I haz a retro one where one of the lambs and baby jesus had to be hot glued in circa 1989.  and all the glued in hay/stray is gone.  it reminds me of growing up and for that it will ALWAYS be my nativity scene. 

    Broom) Do you get a tree? If so...have you put it up yet? If you have any animals, do they try to destroy the tree like mine do? Bonus points for PIP. my GF isn't using hers this year, so i am borrowing it.  it will be put up soon i hope.

    And to answer my own poll:

    1) We already established that I am shallow.

    Blue) Christmas Vacation vs. Elf. I love them equally for different reasons.

    Cheese) Today I am choosing to still believe in him because Norm from Cheers did such a great job playing him on Broadway last night.

    Thirty-seven) Vixen, because she's a hoar.

    Beer) We don't, but my husband wants an untraditional one. Probably involving Family Guy characters or something.

    Broom) Yes. Ours is up. Baby G has already chewed the bottom half of the tinsel in half, destroyed one ornament and pulled like 30 others off the tree. Here's a pic of it while still in tact (please note G creeping in the lower right corner)...

  • 1) Do you celebrate Christmas? If not...what do you celebrate? If so...do you celebrate for religious reasons or are you shallow like me and only celebrate it because you like sparkly lights and gift giving? Christmas is awesome...we aren't religious though - so I guess sparkly lights gift giving and FOOD are why we celebrate =)

    Blue) What is your favorite Christmas movie?  Charlie Brown Christmas

    Cheese) How old were you when you figured out Santa wasn't real? (If you still believe he is real, feel free to elaborate.) I was in 1st grade - I came home bawling because some kid told me Santa wasn't real on the bus. My mom was shocked that I still believed and she sat me down on the bed, started brushing my hair and explained that she and daddy were Santa. I still remember, vividly. It was like the world was ending - everything I ever believed was a lie!!! ha. I miss being a kid.

    Thirty-seven) Who is your favorite reindeer and why? Blitzen - I'd call him "The Blitz" - I love HIMYM - I have a feeling Blitzen misses all of the cool stuff during the reindeer games. Poor guy! THE GENTLEMAN!!!!

    Beer) Do you have a nativity scene in your house? If so...is it a standard one or do you have something like Star Wars figurines in it like my friend does? I don't...honestly I find them creepy. But please don't tell H that someone's nativity scene has Star Wars figurines...because we would have it in a heartbeat.

    Broom) Do you get a tree? If so...have you put it up yet? If you have any animals, do they try to destroy the tree like mine do? Bonus points for PIP. We have a 4' fake tree that I try to put up...eventually Thor (the cat) destroys the tree...his days are numbered, I fear. I love Christmas trees - why must our animals destroy them!?
  • 1) Do you celebrate Christmas? If not...what do you celebrate? If so...do you celebrate for religious reasons or are you shallow like me and only celebrate it because you like sparkly lights and gift giving?  Yes.  I grew up going to Catholic church.  So yes there is some religious-ness in it for me.  But I don't attend church and I'm not all crazy Catholic.  So some of both I guess.

    Blue) What is your favorite Christmas movie? Christmas Vacation, Grinch (cartoon), Rudolph (clay), I have a few more...

    Cheese) How old were you when you figured out Santa wasn't real? (If you still believe he is real, feel free to elaborate.)  Oh man, I don't know maybe 5ish?  I'm not sure. 

    Thirty-seven) Who is your favorite reindeer and why? Prancer,  because I like his name.

    Beer) Do you have a nativity scene in your house? If so...is it a standard one or do you have something like Star Wars figurines in it like my friend does?  I have a standard one that was my Grandma's. 

    Broom) Do you get a tree? If so...have you put it up yet? If you have any animals, do they try to destroy the tree like mine do? Bonus points for PIP.  Yes it's real, we put it up Sunday.  The cats like to eat it, drink the water and try to bat the ornaments off the branches.  The dog just sniffs it.

    Poopy likes to hang out under it.  (Don't mind the ugly tree skirt, it was a hand-me-down that I replaced yesterday.  Haha, I'm mean.

    I really hope the cats don't climb the tree this year.  They'll break the damn thing.  Oh, and that picture where it looks like Michael is punching Julia - I was taking pictures of them playing, and I didn't realize I had that picture until I was looking through them later, and I was like "Heh, it looks like he's punching her!"  Couldn't believe I actually caught that.

  • SALT--Luuuuurve your tree!

    1) Do you celebrate Christmas? If not...what do you celebrate? If so...do you celebrate for religious reasons or are you shallow like me and only celebrate it because you like sparkly lights and gift giving?  I do celebrate Christmas. Part religious, part family traditions. A little bit of everything!

    Blue) What is your favorite Christmas movie? Christmas Vacation!

    Cheese) How old were you when you figured out Santa wasn't real? (If you still believe he is real, feel free to elaborate.) oh man, I don't know. Maybe 9?

    Thirty-seven) Who is your favorite reindeer and why? Rudolph because he's a misfit. Like me.

    Beer) Do you have a nativity scene in your house? If so...is it a standard one or do you have something like Star Wars figurines in it like my friend does? I have a small one. But I expect I will now consider a Star Wars one as well.

    Broom) Do you get a tree? If so...have you put it up yet? If you have any animals, do they try to destroy the tree like mine do? Bonus points for PIP.
    We do get a tree. We haven't gotten it yet because we get a real tree and it's a little early yet to put it up and maintain.  Usually we'd do it the weekend before, so this year would be the 18th-19th. But we will be having Xmas with H's side OOT so hopefully we can at least get it before we go and set it up , then decorate when we get back. Excited!!!!!!

  • 1) Do you celebrate Christmas? If not...what do you celebrate? If so...do you celebrate for religious reasons or are you shallow like me and only celebrate it because you like sparkly lights and gift giving?  Yes, I celebrate Christmas.  I think I used to celebrate it for the sparkly lights and gifts, but I've definitely become more involved in church and learning the whole religious aspect of the holiday season.

    Blue) What is your favorite Christmas movie?  Prancer.  I don't know why, it's so lame.  I also love the Tim Allen Santa Clause movies.

    Cheese) How old were you when you figured out Santa wasn't real? (If you still believe he is real, feel free to elaborate.)  Like 5 or 6.  I was the youngest child so my mean sisters were brutally honest early on. 

    Thirty-seven) Who is your favorite reindeer and why?  Ruldolph......because DUH.  He has a light up nose!

    Beer) Do you have a nativity scene in your house? If so...is it a standard one or do you have something like Star Wars figurines in it like my friend does?  Nope, sure don't.  Growing up my mom had the most beautiful nativity set that she actually hand made.  I'm in love with it. 

    Broom) Do you get a tree? If so...have you put it up yet? If you have any animals, do they try to destroy the tree like mine do? Bonus points for PIP.  We just have an artificial - no pets.  And yes, it's already up. 

  • 1) Do you celebrate Christmas? If not...what do you celebrate? If so...do you celebrate for religious reasons or are you shallow like me and only celebrate it because you like sparkly lights and gift giving? Of freaking course I do. But not for religious reasons, I'm allergic to religion. We celebrate with family, have a fun Christmas Eve and then cook all Christmas Day. I don't do shopping on Boxing Day though, those people scare me (that'd be the day after XMas 'Mericans...)

    Blue) What is your favorite Christmas movie? Love Actually? Maybe Rudolph (It was on last niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight!), The Holiday? The Snowman? I can't choose. I love them too much.

    Cheese) How old were you when you figured out Santa wasn't real? (If you still believe he is real, feel free to elaborate.) The first year we came to Canada. They'd kept the presents in the boot of the car and my room was at the front of the bungalow. Dad totally fell ass over face down the icy porch steps and woke me up.

    Thirty-seven) Who is your favorite reindeer and why? Vixen. 'Cuz obviously he's the sexy one.

    Beer) Do you have a nativity scene in your house? If so...is it a standard one or do you have something like Star Wars figurines in it like my friend does? Um. No. I did make one out of Harry Potter legos for a laugh last year though.

    Broom) Do you get a tree? If so...have you put it up yet? If you have any animals, do they try to destroy the tree like mine do? Bonus points for PIP. I do indeed get a tree. It will be up this weekend (couldn't have one up while we moved). The first year we had Chelsea (cat) she climbed INTO it and got stuck. My kitty, she is a rah tard.

  • 1) Do you celebrate Christmas? If not...what do you celebrate? If so...do you celebrate for religious reasons or are you shallow like me and only celebrate it because you like sparkly lights and gift giving? Yes, we celebrate Christmas, and Yule.  I'm Catholic by birth, but pretty much just Christian by practice.  My friends are a little bit of everything, so we celebrate Yule one of the weekends in December.  It's a lot of fun.

    Blue) What is your favorite Christmas movie? It's a Wonderful Life or Christmas Vacation.

    Cheese) How old were you when you figured out Santa wasn't real? (If you still believe he is real, feel free to elaborate.) I think I was like...7 or 8?  My mom finally told me when I was 9, but I was well over it by then.

    Thirty-seven) Who is your favorite reindeer and why? Vixen.  Best name.

    Beer) Do you have a nativity scene in your house? If so...is it a standard one or do you have something like Star Wars figurines in it like my friend does? LOL.  Your friend is awesome.  My parents have a huge one, with figures from the 1950's, in a manger my grandpa built. 

    Broom) Do you get a tree? If so...have you put it up yet? If you have any animals, do they try to destroy the tree like mine do? Bonus points for PIP. Yes.  We're getting a little 3 or 4 foot one next week.  Our cats didn't try to destroy it last year, but we'll see.

  • I usually just lurk, but I feel like playing today:

    1) Do you celebrate Christmas? If not...what do you celebrate? If so...do you celebrate for religious reasons or are you shallow like me and only celebrate it because you like sparkly lights and gift giving?
    I do celebrate Christmas, for reasons that include both religion and sparkly lights.

    Blue) What is your favorite Christmas movie?  I like Rudolph, because of the misfit toys! 

    Cheese) How old were you when you figured out Santa wasn't real? (If you still believe he is real, feel free to elaborate.)  I never believed in Santa.  Sad, but true.
    Thirty-seven) Who is your favorite reindeer and why?  Comet, because comets are cool.

    Beer) Do you have a nativity scene in your house? If so...is it a standard one or do you have something like Star Wars figurines in it like my friend does?  Not presently.  We always had one growing up, but I haven't invested in my own yet.

    Broom) Do you get a tree? If so...have you put it up yet? If you have any animals, do they try to destroy the tree like mine do? Bonus points for PIP.  We do a fake tree.  It's not up yet, largely because we are in the middle of redoing the living room.  My pug likes to sniff the tree and gifts, but thus far hasn't destroyed anything.

    1)  I'm a huge fan of sparkly lights and presents so, yes, I do celebrate Christmas.

    <strong>Blue)  White Christmas or Holiday Inn.  I'm a walking cliche.

    </strong>Cheese) I don't remember.  I do remember who told me and I still hate him.  He's a jerk.

    Thirty-Seven) I like a good underdog.  Go Rudolph!

    Beer)  No.  See question 1.  I have sparkly lights and gifts.  And shiny things that reflect sparkly lights.

    Broom) I used to get a real tree every year.  I finally caved and went fake.  We have two fake trees.  When I had real trees, Tigger had to give every tree a good sniff when it came in.  I suppose he was checking for hitchiking hobo animals.  There never were any.  One year, he managed to fall over into the tree during his inspection which catapulted a glass ornament across the room.  We now have unbreakable ornaments that go around the bottom of the tree.

  • Also, how the hell did the answer for blue get bolded.  I maintain that I did not bold ANY portion of my post.

    1) Do you celebrate Christmas? If not...what do you celebrate? If so...do you celebrate for religious reasons or are you shallow like me and only celebrate it because you like sparkly lights and gift giving? Yes. Partly religious and partly greedy gift-grabbiness!!

    Blue) What is your favorite Christmas movie? How the Grinch Stole Christmas.
    Cheese) How old were you when you figured out Santa wasn't real? (If you still believe he is real, feel free to elaborate.) About fifth grade. Don't judge me! You don't know me!

    Thirty-seven) Who is your favorite reindeer and why? Prancer. He'd be a primo GBR. (Gay Best Reindeer)

    Beer) Do you have a nativity scene in your house? If so...is it a standard one or do you have something like Star Wars figurines in it like my friend does? I do. It's pretty standard; I have ceramic figurines all dressed in cream. I wish it was more colorful, but I bought it during my "fancy silver" phase. I'd get another one, but I have a hard enough time finding somewhere to put this one.

    Broom) Do you get a tree? If so...have you put it up yet? If you have any animals, do they try to destroy the tree like mine do? Bonus points for PIP. I have a fake tree. We had a real one last year and it was too much trouble to keep alive. BooBoo loves playing with the lights' shadows, and Blaque climbed it before we decorated it, but he's over it now, I think. Beasley is so extremely underwhelmed with the whole thing. Barker was trying to figure it out yesterday, but didn't do any damage. I need to get some better pics of them all with it. I wish they'd wear matching sweaters.
