(6,581 posts)1) Do as little as possible.
2) Not doing any. My household is drowning in crap now.
3) An industrial sized dumpster -- see 2) above. Or some socks. I need socks.
4) Um, not a good question for me, since I already wanted to bump off Alvin, Theodore, and Simon with some D-Con and rat traps on another thread. I've never heard of "Dominick the Christmas Donkey" either.
5) Depends on who's in the Santa suit.

(20,176 posts)1.) Going to CT.
2.) Since August.
3.) Either ownership of a successful NPO-sector PR/Marketing/Social Media firm, the winning Mega-Millions numbers so I could buy such a firm, or a lot of rich powerful NPO clients. Freelancing and start-ups are sucking the dog's ass.
4.) I don't have one.
5.) No. I don't really give a cold hell who my mother kisses.

(11,760 posts)1. My Dad and Stepmom and my two NYC Brothers are headed here this Thursday/Friday. On Christmas Eve, we'll go to a Party another one of my Brothers throws every Christmas Eve, then I'll take my two older kids (one of which has been Bar Mitzvahed and the other to be Bat Mitzvahed) to Christmas Eve Services at the local Presbyterian Church. We are Judeo-Christian and celebrate all manner of Solstice activities - we are going to a Wiccan Party Wednesday night that one of my Wife's Yoga students throws. On Christmas Day, about 18 people are coming over to the house and I am whipping up Turkey, Goose and a Rib Roast along with the usual sides.
2. Nope
3. Real Estate
4. I have not heard more than 20 seconds of either of those aberrations.
5b. Nah, she gets a free pass for Santa Claus and I get one for Scarlett Johansson - she has a better chance.......

(50,569 posts)1. On Christmas Eve, I will go to work at 6am and print newspapers until three or four in the afternoon. Then I will go home, eat something and sleep until midnight, when I will go back to the shop (it's only three blocks away, so I will walk) to upload the web page to our service. Then I will go back home and sleep until 9am. Then I will get back up, go to my parents' house, cook food until 12:30. I will then serve it, eat some of it, go back home, wait till 4pm, go to work and print more newspapers.
2. No.
3. An apartment that allows cats.
4. I truly dislike Christmas songs, especially animal ones.
5b. No, as long as it's on the lips.

(2,657 posts)1) Try to divide myself into 3 people to spread myself all around the places I need to be at Christmas.
2) Almost. Majority is just waiting for it to come in. Will need to get a few odd and ends.
3) anything at all? A house with no morgage. But honestly I'd settle for the Complete series of the Twilight Zone and Lark Rise to Candleford.
4) The Hippo song absolutely a close second would be Chimpmunks singing "Christmas don't be Late.
5a) Depends. Dean Martin -YES Rod Stewart - NO Nick Lashay(sp?) - NO Zooey Deschanel (She sang the male part in her version) Possible
