The Friday Five

1. Do you enjoy the cold weather and snow for the holidays? Yes, especially since I got a super-warm jacket as a graduation present from the parents.

2. What is your ideal holiday celebration? How, where, with whom would you celebrate to make things perfect? I like what my family does, we wake up early christmas morning, and go through the same routine of trying to get everyone up before we go into the den, then into the den to go through stockings, then into the living room for Santa presents, followed by under-the-tree presents.

3. Do you do have any holiday traditions? There's a walk-through of the historic Victorian neighborhood back home that I used to go to every year. Maybe someday I will be home for that again...

4. Do you do anything to help the needy? I keep meaning to volunteer for Project Open Hands, but I wouldn't start volunteering at the holidays because I'm sure they could use a volunteer in March more than now, when everyone volunteers.

5. What one gift would you like for yourself? I'm hoping for some Jane Austen movies from Santa.
