1. Do you enjoy the cold weather and snow for the holidays? No. I've lived thu winters in Michigan, and in Utah, and in Alaska, and in Boston. I'm done with wet cold and with snow.

2. What is your ideal holiday celebration? How, where, with whom would you celebrate to make things perfect? A glittery but not too formal party, full of friends, lovers, and family, who have brought their family, lovers, and friends.

3. Do you do have any holiday traditions? Atwood Holiday Punch. I'll let jatg explain...

4. Do you do anything to help the needy? I make a regular contribution to Northwest Harvest. Not just over the holidays, but all year.

5. What one gift would you like for yourself? All of my giftable wants are either unavailable, or rather expensive, or embarrassing to ask for.
