1) Are you kidding!
2) I like Toad's answer, but I'll add a beer with it.
3) Silver Bells: It takes me back to the days when Main Street and 6th St. was decorated with the bells and ornaments that were hung down the streets between the light poles.
4) The last one with my grandmother. She had fallen down and broke her hip and was convalescing at West View. We spent Christmas eve there opening a few gifts. My brother and I bought her a pair of slippers. She looked at them and said "I won't be using these." She died shortly after New Year's.

1. When you don' t celebrate it, there is no shopping to do so how do you know when it's done?

2. I'll let you know when people bring in all the leftovers after the holiday!

3. ?

4. I enjoy the day...do what I want but rarely memorable. One year in Racine I went for a run and remember some idiot drove by me, slowed down opened the window and went on a real tirade about how I should be home with my family celebrating the Birth of Jesus on Christmas...it was so surreal and ridiculous that I laughed which seemed to piss him off even more. Probably not quite what you had in mind, but it was a memorable encounter.

1. Finished? I haven't even started! This is how I build my Xmas spirit. If I can't fight crowds and wince at empty shelves, the spirit just doesn't hit me. Gosh I LOVE gift cards.

2. Cookies. ALL the cookies Mom used to make. Choc chip, peanut butter, refrigerator, sugar... on and on and on... Yeah, cookies.

3. "Highway to Hell" AC-DC No, I jest. "Father Christmas" by ELP

4. The Xmas the pole transformer blew across the street. The circuit breaker didn't trip and that thing arced, and sparked for a full twenty minutes. Of course we lost power and heat, and my parents had to wrap our present by lantern light.

Hale Bopp, the rule always was, "If you don't believe in Santa, he don't come." You don't need to believe in a god for Xmas to work a little magic. It can be fun just for the magic that is unrelated to any deity.

I want to change my answer for #3 to Santa Claus and his Old Lady.

And considering I changed my answer to #3, I want to change #2 also to brownies.

1) Getting there...

2) Cookies, cookies and more cookies!

3) Please Come Home for Christmas by the Eagles

4) I remember one year my sister woke me up in the middle of the night telling me that we got hamsters for Christmas. And we did!

1) I don't buy presents.

2) Original Chex Mix, the real stuff, with the worcestershire sauce and butter and baked in an oven. My sister makes it to die for.
