To the (theoretically) unknown person who tagged me with this Christmas meme

You didn’t disguise your identity as thoroughly as you may think you did. I will have my revenge.

Meanwhile:

1.What is your favorite Christmas carol/song?
“Fairytale of New York”, the Pogues.
2.White lights or multicolored?
White.
3. Do you have a cut tree, live tree or an artificial tree?
Artificial.
4. Eggnog, mulled cider, or hot chocolate?
Eggnog. And only one possible recipe, the one passed to me by the divine Miss S. Mulled cider?? You have to be kidding. Optional alternative: Gluhwein (see this video for one of the best places to see it made.)
5. Do you decorate your house with lights?
Only on the inside.
6. Do you write a Christmas letter?
Nope.
7. Do you like receiving Christmas letters/photos?
Don’t mind.
8. What is your favorite Christmas story/movie?
A Christmas Story.
9. Have you ever made a gingerbread house?
Yes. Sometimes repeatedly.

15. Do you know all the words to Jingle Bells?
No.
16. Do you put presents under the tree?
No.
17. How do you eat a candy cane?
Only under duress. That ribbon candy, though, I really like that. Probably a good thing I can’t find it around here.  🙂
18. What is your biggest holidays pet peeve?
Not being able (without consequences) to run down the street shrieking “Io Saturnalia!” and insist that major public officials swap jobs with me for the day.

Recovering from it.
20. What was the best present you ever got for Christmas?

(And I’m adding two questions:)

Heh. I can SAY Merry Christmas in Polish, but I certainly can’t SPELL it.

Of course, spelling it involves letters that don’t exist in English.
