Friday five: The holidays

\<!\[CDATA **1\. Do you enjoy the cold weather and snow for the holidays?**  In the Southern Hemisphere, it’s hot for the “holidays”. I like snow and cold, I also like sun and hot. I don’t like half-assed weather. Overcast, showery. Bo-ring! 

2. What is your ideal holiday celebration? How, where, with whom would you celebrate to make things perfect? Perfection isn’t possible. I like to appreciate whatever happens. I generally like to be around friends, not really doing much at all. Just being around people I like and who like me back.

3. Do you do have any holiday traditions? When I was in cold places for Christmas, I had a lovely tradition involving mulled wine and gingerbread houses, but that won’t really work here. Generally, I’m not big on tradition.

4. Do you do anything to help the needy? Until a few weeks ago, I was one of the needy. I’m still kinda digging out, but I ought to do something nice for a charity this year. I did back when I was in Vancouver and was fooled into thinking I had money.

5. What one gift would you like for yourself? A table and chair.]]>
