Since the Holidays are coming up, I thought I'd make a thread, and ask everyone a bunch of annoying questions.

What are your favorite Christmas movies?

Your least favorite? (Movies that you either just hate or got really sick of.)

What are your favorite Christmas songs?

Your least favorite? (Same applies, and the music doesn't have to necessarily be traditional I'll give a fine example when other people start to post.)

Do you send Christmas cards out every year?

Anybody here who's a bit of a Grinch, or a Scrooge, when it comes to the holidays?

Do you decorate, or like to decorate for Christmas?

Do you like going out and looking at other peoples' Christmas decorations and Christmas lights?

I, uh--I'm drawing a blank suddenly, so maybe I'll ask more questions later.

Your least favorite? (Same applies, and the music doesn't have to necessarily be traditional I'll give a fine example when other people start to post.)I don't like those old classics. They bore me.

What are your favorite Christmas movies?
Scrooged has its moments. A Christmas Story until the inevitable cable-TV marathons ground it down to a fine dust, although there are still lines I recall with semi-fondness. Probably the best one is still How the Grinch Stole Christmas (the old cartoon version, not the movie version I never saw) just to hear Thurl Ravenscroft (the late voice of Tony the Tiger) belting out the Grinch’s infamous theme song.

Your least favorite?
All too many of them are cheese graters and nitric acid on the soul.

What are your favorite Christmas songs?
A Christmas Carol by Tom Lehrer, of those I can immediately recall.

Your least favorite?
Their name is legion.

Do you send Christmas cards out every year?
No.

Anybody here who's a bit of a Grinch, or a Scrooge, when it comes to the holidays?
Maybe. I don’t begrudge others who like it the holiday, nor do I have anywhere near the wealth of Scrooge or his meanspiritedness about it. (Meanspiritedness is wasted on a holiday. ) I just don’t want to get any of it on me. I want to give gifts when I can afford it and feel like it, not because I’m guilted into it by tradition turned to propangda to bolster some big-box retailers’ end-of-year bottom lines.

Do you decorate, or like to decorate for Christmas?
The sole christmas decoration I own or have any interest in putting up is an old, old poster I salvaged from the bulletin board of like my fifth- or sixth-grade class. It is a Dear Santa letter/wish list with about four dozen outrageously silly items on it entitled, "Dear Santa-Baby".

Do you like going out and looking at other peoples' Christmas decorations and Christmas lights?
Actually, I still like this. Tastefully done, colored lights in darkness and white snow on a cold, crisp, hushed winter night has a calming effect.

Jim Carrey's The Grinch, OMG THAT'S MY ALL-TIME FAVORITE EVER. I could watch that again and again and again, and never get sick of it.

Your least favorite? (Movies that you either just hate or got really sick of.)

Ugh, the puppet-animated cartoons, like Santa Clause is Coming to Town and Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. It's terribly overplayed here, and I'm quite sick of it.

Frosty the Snowman, too. >:(

What are your favorite Christmas songs?

Tom Waits and Peter Murphy did a song together called "Christmas Sucks."

Heard it once, immediately downloaded it, and it's been my favorite Christmas song since. The lyrics are morbidly hilarious.

Your least favorite? (Same applies, and the music doesn't have to necessarily be traditional I'll give a fine example when other people start to post.)

UGH, Feliz Navidad. Especially that super whiny version of it. I could strangle infants to that song.

Do you send Christmas cards out every year?

I'm such a bad little procrastinator. I only recently got around to doing all my cards at once, including old birthday cards.

But no, this is the first year I've done Christmas cards. I think?

Anybody here who's a bit of a Grinch, or a Scrooge, when it comes to the holidays?

Yep, me. I really hate a lot of things about the holidays, more than I like the other things about the holidays.

Do you decorate, or like to decorate for Christmas?

Nope. I'm a total Grinch when it comes to decorating, unless it's stuff that I bought myself. I'm very particular about decorating and designing.

Do you like going out and looking at other peoples' Christmas decorations and Christmas lights?

Used to, not anymore. I might glance at the neighbors' stuff, but I don't go around, looking for anything particularly eye-catching.

Let's see, off the top of my head:

What are your favorite Christmas movies? Peanuts Christmas , Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer

Your least favorite? (Movies that you either just hate or got really sick of.) The Sound of Music, It's a Wonderful Life (Like them but sick of them)

What are your favorite Christmas songs? Fairytale of New York - The Pogues, We Three Kings, Little Drummer Boy, Do you See...

Your least favorite? (Same applies, and the music doesn't have to necessarily be traditional I'll give a fine example when other people start to post.) Any of the contemporary Top 40 style songs they have out these days

Do you send Christmas cards out every year? Yes at least a few.

Anybody here who's a bit of a Grinch, or a Scrooge, when it comes to the holidays? Sometimes when I get to missing certain people I get a bit Grinchy.

Do you decorate, or like to decorate for Christmas? Rarely

Do you like going out and looking at other peoples' Christmas decorations and Christmas lights? Sometimes. I like the ones that go "Tim Taylor" nuts but are at the same time tastefully and well done.

What are your favorite Christmas movies? Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer... Frickin' classic!

Your least favorite? Peanuts is really starting to get old... Blah.

What are your favorite Christmas songs? Baby, It's Cold Outside (don't have a specific version, really, I like em all... Just like me to like the X-mas date rape song... xD)

Your least favorite? Anything featuring chipmunks or Elmo...

Do you send Christmas cards out every year? I try to... Doesn't happen often.

Anybody here who's a bit of a Grinch, or a Scrooge, when it comes to the holidays? Yeah, when I realize I'm broke, I go "Ah, fukkit, I didn't like him/her anyways" lol

Do you decorate, or like to decorate for Christmas? I need to be in a very specific mood... Didn't hit me last year, hasn't hit me yet this year.

Do you like going out and looking at other peoples' Christmas decorations and Christmas lights? I love it! Makes me wish I had a house so I could do the same...

What are your favorite Christmas movies? My dad likes Miracle on 34th St. He loves that movie. He insists on watching it with me and my bro each year, which means I get to spend time with him so I guess it's my fave movie too

What are your favorite Christmas songs? White Christmas in English. I try to sing it like a tenor... and fail miserably. Naturally. But people laugh, and that's what matters

Do you send Christmas cards out every year? Nope, I'd rather call or pay a visit.

Anybody here who's a bit of a Grinch, or a Scrooge, when it comes to the holidays? Not me. Christmas is fun: it involves food!

Do you decorate, or like to decorate for Christmas? I like watching people decorating, does that count?

Do you like going out and looking at other peoples' Christmas decorations and Christmas lights? YES! I love it.

Extra: Two weeks ago in NY

Mom: LOOK! There's a giant Father Christmas in that garden!
Me: ... that's a Thanksgiving Turkey, mom.

Should really rename this 'Non-demoninational, Yuletide Season Celebration Stuff'. lol

What are your favorite Christmas movies? Don't really have one, though Nightmare before Christmas and Santa Claus : The Movie from 1985 with Dudley Moore in it come close. As does Scrooged.

Your least favorite? (Movies that you either just hate or got really sick of.) The vast majority of new ones which are just terrible... Any with Tim Allen for a start.

What are your favorite Christmas songs? Slade: Its Christmas.

Your least favorite? (Same applies, and the music doesn't have to necessarily be traditional I'll give a fine example when other people start to post.) 'Grandma We love you' *shudders* Creepy young kids choir singing...

Do you send Christmas cards out every year? No. I think cards are a waste of money as you either spend a fortunate and get a cheap on in return, or buy a bulk box of cheap ones that aren't really appreciated.

Anybody here who's a bit of a Grinch, or a Scrooge, when it comes to the holidays? Yes, I only buy presents for those people who buy me them, and to equal cost.

Do you decorate, or like to decorate for Christmas? Yes. Its not christmas without a tree.

Do you like going out and looking at other peoples' Christmas decorations and Christmas lights? Yes and no... if someone gots OTT with the entire christmas village in their garden thing, I find thats just tacky.

What are your favorite Christmas movies? Santa’s Slay. And I agree with Ithilion, Nightmare Before Christmas wins.

Your least favorite? (Movies that you either just hate or got really sick of.) The Charlie Brown Christmas Tree one. Well, most of them actually.

What are your favorite Christmas songs? If it doesn’t have words I’m probably okay with it. In fact I really like some of the big instrumental numbers, but I don’t know their names.

Your least favorite? (Same applies, and the music doesn't have to necessarily be traditional I'll give a fine example when other people start to post.) I can’t listen to too much of anything with lyrics. Johnny Mathis has earned a special place in my Christmas time hell. The worst by far was when I was working retail and they played a CD of yodelling cowboy Christmas songs OVER AND OVER. It flat out hurt.

Do you send Christmas cards out every year? Nope, too lazy and disorganized. I’ve participated in a couple card exchanges on different forums though.

Anybody here who's a bit of a Grinch, or a Scrooge, when it comes to the holidays? I’m not a Grinch, but I may be a Scrooge. I’m pretty indifferent to the whole season. My feelings don’t change towards my family, friends, or common man during this time, why should my behaviour?

Do you decorate, or like to decorate for Christmas? I don’t decorate but I do bake cookies and make candy for friends and family. It’s traditional for my family and not only does it make people happy but the hot oven keeps me from freezing while it’s cold.

Do you like going out and looking at other peoples' Christmas decorations and Christmas lights? Not really. It’s too cold out, there’s rarely anything new to see, and I have a bit of a problem with the fact that the same people who complain the most about wasting energy and how I need to cut back on my usage leave up gigantic displays which is okay because it’s festive and thereby untouchable. At least that’s my experience. Guess I am a Grinch after all!

Anybody here like Eggnog? (Plain, spiced, or even liquored up. )

Yes, yes, and oh HELL yes!

Eggnog + rum =

Oh God, Oh God, Oh Yes, Oh Yes.

NOG!!!

But... *ahem* without alcohol. from Luxlait. In the cutest country in the world, Luxemburg.

It's like a creamy spunky orgasm...

What are your favorite Christmas movies? The Santa Clause series and Rudolph. What? I can't help it.

Your least favorite? None, really.

What are your favorite Christmas songs? Jingle Bells and Rudolph. Everybody knows them, so it's easy to start a random singalong.

Your least favorite? Crappy covers in general.

Do you send Christmas cards out every year? Nope.

Anybody here who's a bit of a Grinch, or a Scrooge, when it comes to the holidays? Nope. I love giving presents, if only because it means I get them.

Do you decorate, or like to decorate for Christmas? I like the look of a decorated house, but I had to decorate the school library yesterday (I'm the student aide) and... oh my god. There's like five pounds of scotch tape holding up the garland.

Do you like going out and looking at other peoples' Christmas decorations and Christmas lights? YEEEEES.
