1. What’s the most important thing about the holidays for you? Spending time with my family.

2.  What’s the most annoying thing about this time of year? Trying to figure out what to get my wife for Christmas. Usually I’ve culled a lot of ideas just by paying attention and putting a note in my phone. I guess last year I checked everything off the list.

3.  Who do you celebrate the holidays with? My immediate family. We’ll do a meal with my in-laws one day before the 2nd of January.

4. Do you travel during the holidays? No. I never have.

5. Do you prefer giving or receiving gifts? I’m good with both.

6. Who is the hardest person to buy a gift for? My wife. (See #2 above.)

7. What is your traditional holiday meal? It’s usually ham. Last year we had a rib roast. I will be eating sides and salmon. (I guess you could say I’m a pescatarian instead of a vegetarian, but I only have salmon a couple times a month.) The family will have ham. 

8. Does your town get decorated for the holidays? Yup. They spent a fortune on a huge Santa.

9. Do you have a Christmas tree? Yes. It’s a small silver tree.

10. If you have a tree, what is on top of it? Nothing. I don’t think it could handle the weight of a tree topper.

11. Do you decorate the outside of your house with lights? No. I have a huge spruce tree (I think that’s what it is.) When I first moved here I put lights on it. Then a year or two later I ran over the cord with the mower. Didn’t take down the lights because the tree is huge and it was difficult enough putting lights up that high.

12. What is your favorite holiday memory as a child? I can’t think of one.

13. What is your favorite holiday dessert? My Mom’s cheesecake. Shoot! I should have made it Christmas Eve, but instead I actually wrapped gifts this year. I’ll have to get over to my daughter’s early to make it so it can set in the fridge.

14. Do you have a favorite holiday movie? Not just one. The original 1938 B&W “A Christmas Carol”, The original B&W: “Miracle on 34th Street”, “It’s A Wonderful Life”, “Christmas in Connecticut”; “A Christmas Story”, “Jingle All The Way”, The Santa Claus movies.

15. What is your favorite holiday tradition? It’s always been making sfincione, but this year we didn’t have the ingredients. All we had was flat bread so we made vegetable pizza with no sauce because we didn’t have any. Lol!
