Hot for words, that is! I swear, Marina is the best thing since Webster. Since high school, even! Seriously. If you aren’t watching her, you need to. Get it going sister! You could will learn something! Plus even the gay folk like myself find her hawt. Sizzling hot.

But really, I had mentioned to my semi-local web guru that I needed a Marina button a few times, and I think Santa was the one that finally tied him down and forced his creative juices to flow. Wait. That wording sounds dirty. Reminds me of a naughty bit of holiday on the web I saw somewhere (don’t look, really. you’ll hate me.) ... Ew. Anywho. The brilliant Brian hooked us up with the one and only original Hot For Hot For Words button. It is not yet officially endorsed, but I am sure my Marina will love it.

I so want to take her shopping and carry everything she buys. Is that weird?

So, yeah. If you want a Hot For Words Button, swipe it and upload it yo. Give her the link love. Just don’t hot link. Cause dp.com frowns on that. And you will be cursed with like 18 years of bad juju. So there. Merry merry!

One Christmas a long time ago Santa Claus had problems. Four of his elves were sick so Santa got behind schedule. Then Mrs Claus told Santa that her Mum was coming to visit; this stressed Santa even more. He went to see his reindeer and found that three of them were about to give birth. More stress. Then when he began to load the sleigh he dropped the toy bag and scattered the toys.

Santa went into the house for a shot of whisky but the elves had drunk him dry. Just then the doorbell rang and Santa cussed on his way to the door. There was a little angel with a big Christmas tree. “Merry Christmas Santa”, said the angel, “Isn’t it a lovely day? I have a beautiful tree for you. Where would you like me to stick it?”

Thus began the tradition of the angel on top of the Christmas tree.

Our good friend Mike scoped this one out for us. There will be NO tagging. Don’t even worry. It does provide good blog fodder tho. FYI. Here we go:

Wrapping paper or gift bags?
Wrapping paper. Unless of course the gift is a bottle of wine, or of an odd size that can’t be boxed and wrapped properly.

Real tree or Artificial?
Come on.. You want all my secrets? Artificial and pre-lit. If I do a real tree the lighting process of wrapping each branch (OCD) with lights becomes such an ordeal. Not to mention removing them. Once I tossed the tree out lights and all. Artificial is just better for the sanity of all involved.

When do you put up the tree?
First week of December. The cards go out that week too. With my job if I wait it won’t get done.

When do you take the tree down?
Normally, December 26th. Although my mom and I had been known to do it Christmas day back when I lived at home… This year we have the post holiday gig, so it’ll be up an extra week. *cringe*

Do you like eggnog?
Only when thinned with booze.

Favorite gift received as a child?
My most favorite gift as a child was actually at Easter. I wanted baby chickens, and my parents found these fake ones that were so cute… As an adult it was my iPod. Heh. Both times.

Do you have a nativity scene?
Erm. No.

Hardest person to buy for?
We don’t really ‘do’ gifts. Richard and I do purchases for *us* yearly, like this year we bought the bedroom set. That was like all the gifts all year. We don’t buy a gift for anything. And with my folks, well, yeah. No gifts.

Easiest person to buy for?
See above.

Mail or email Christmas cards?
Mail. Hello! The dp.com card exchange is renowned on the internets.

Worst Christmas gift you ever received?
A slip of paper stating ‘this certificate good for _____ signed Santa.’ WTF?

Favorite Christmas Movie?
A Christmas Story. It just rocks. That leg lamp? OMG.

Least Favorite?
The Sound Of Music. Is that even Christmas? That thing gives me gas.

When do you start shopping for Christmas?
There’s no shopping.

Have you ever recycled a Christmas present?
You have to sometimes with the ‘hostess gifts’.

Favorite thing to eat at Christmas?
Booze.

Clear lights or colored on the tree?
Clear. Is this really a question?

Favorite Christmas song?
I find them all mind numbing. I work retail. I think *because* of that the new ones, the alternative artists are better for me.

Travel at Christmas or stay home?
Neither. Retail. Is ‘stay at work’ an option here?

Can you name all of Santa’s reindeer?
Fuck no. Is it January yet? Where’s my drink?

Angel on the tree top or a star?
Neither. See Flickr.

Open the presents Christmas Eve or morning?
My mom and I were on the side of Eve, back in the day. Now there are no gifts. Who cares?

Most annoying thing about this time of year?
The public and their selfish and self important attitudes.

Favorite ornament theme or color?
Red.

Favorite for Christmas dinner?
Is there a dinner? We were always brunch people.

Least Favorite?
Huh? Dinner? See above yo.

What do you want for Christmas this year?
Lottery winnings. Sadly tho, you have to play to win.
