Friday Five

[javacat]

1. Do you enjoy the cold weather and snow for the holidays?

There's no snow where I am, and I don't mind our cold Bay Area weather, as long as my house furnance & car heater are working.

2. What is your ideal holiday celebration? How, where, with whom would you celebrate to make things perfect?

My ideal is treating it like a regular weekend day except with a traditional turkey dinner, so: hiking 10-1, shower, 2-on, start cooking at my house or at my sister's, hang out and read, eat, go home. Maybe see a movie, either a first run or rent something.

3. Do you do have any holiday traditions?

Sometimes I decorate a tree and hang icicle lights. My house has terrible fung shei, because a neighborhood street comes up the hill and T's in front of my house, so everyone can kind of look up into my big picture window, but it's a great place to put a decorated tree. I think I will put one up this year.

4. Do you do anything to help the needy?

I give money to various things all year long, but no, not anything special.

5. What one gift would you like for yourself?

A red classic Swiss Army knife, the little one. I lost mine on the Aug. Perseid camping trip. I've got my eyes out for them on sale. Also, I plan to buy myself some clothes at the Macy's one day sale tomorrow. It's a killer sale.
