1. When do you put your Christmas decorations up? I'll let you know.

2. Do you prefer to use Christmas lights that are all one color, or do you go for the multicolor effect? Whities. We save the color for the ornaments.

3. Real tree or fake? Fake.

4. Where do you get your tree? From the basement.

5. Perfectly shaped tree, or one with character? Do you really need to ask me that question?

6. Where do you put your tree? Living room. NE corner.

7. Tinsel or garland? Red glass balls.

8. Blinking lights or solid lights on the tree? Solid white.

9. What sits on the very top of your tree? We lost the old topper, so I made one a couple of years ago - gold star with a celestial device on it, and ribbons.

10. Eggnog or hot chocolate? Cappucino.

11. What does your family Christmas feast consist of? Several very large pizzas, Cathy's spinach salad, coffee, soda, that Chex stuff and assorted dainties. Mom makes five or six pounds of Little Smokies in barbecue sauce for David, but I pretend they don't exist because they're disgusting. It's better than it sounds.

12. What day do you typically hold your Christmas celebrations? Everybody comes over Christmas Eve.

13. When do you open your presents? Whenever they let me.

14. Do you open them all at once, or one by one? One by one.

15. Favorite Christmas movie? A Christmas Carol with Alastair Sim, A Christmas Story.

17. Do you have any family holiday traditions that you partake in each year? We're big on the traditional songs, such as "Lion Sleeps Tonight" and "Stop In the Name of Love." I also like to shout "You've RUINED Christmas! RUINED IT!!!" at random intervals.

18. For New Year's Eve, do you go out, or stay in? Who can say? Is there a Millennium marathon this year?

This is the funniest thing I've read in just about forever. Thank you.

It works great if anyone spills a tiny amount of coffee on the counter, accidentally hands somebody the wrong present, fucks up a high note, is caught emerging from the bathroom, whacks an ornament, steps on somebody, etc. The key is the delivery - the right note of heartbroken hysteria is what sells the bit.

It's also good on minor holidays, e.g., "This is the WORST Veterans Day EVER, and it's ALL YOUR FAULT! I HAVE NO SON!"
