The Saturday 6-Pack

1. What Winter Holidays do you celebrate?
Christmas

2. Do you gain weight around this time of year?
Nah

3. What is your ideal holiday?
I actually had alot of fun this year, just spending it with my immediate family, and not a zillion relatives. Ate some food, played alot of DJ Hero with my brothers, and then played the Seinfeld Clue boardgame. Was just really cozy.

4. Do you visit anywhere this time of year?
Usually just go to my uncles and hang out with a trillion relatives.

5. Stay inside with hot coco or build a snowman?
Hope I don't look boring if I say coco. I've lived around snow quite a bit, and played in it plenty. It really is just not that exciting to me.

Getting dragged down the road on an innertube by a car that's sliding around on the street is an exception though I suppose.

6. Be honest now... don't you find the concept of Santa Claus a little creepy?
I didn't used to. I do now though after seeing the picture Rickenbacker posted. D:

7. What is the best Xmas present you ever received?
Two years ago my brother bought me this:
Seinfeld - The Complete Series

I think that was the best/favorite.

1. What Winter Holidays do you celebrate?
Only Christmas and Hogmany if Hogmany counts!

2. Do you gain weight around this time of year?
I don't really pay attention or notice these things, unless clothes become to small. I have a massive family so we have a Xmas dinner on Xmas day, and then another one on boxing day! So I probably do gain weight...

3. What is your ideal holiday?
I'd go back to Beijing in a heartbeat. Or Australia/NZ

.

4. Do you visit anywhere this time of year?
Nowhere outside the country, you do visiting rounds!

5. Stay inside with hot coco or build a snowman?
Snowman everytime. Althought I'm getting sick of the sight of this ****ing snow now. It's perfect snowball fight material though, nice 'n' icey so it sticks together excellently

6. Be honest now... don't you find the concept of Santa Claus a little creepy?
Nah, I knew he wasn't real from a young age. I have visited Turkey more times than I have fingers, and visited Santa's bones in a place in Turkey. I was distraught he wasn't real

.

7. What is the best Xmas present you ever received?
I don't know I mean, at the time all of my presents were amazing. Like I got a red suspension bike that was my pride and joy, but I've not used it since I was like 13/14. Last year I got a Vivienne Westwood chain that had a little encrusted bear (fake stones haha) that was of more value to me than a child would ever be as my Gran bought me it, and it ****ing broke. One of the legs fell off, I cried for ages.

1. What Winter Holidays do you celebrate?
About all my family does for Christmas is Christmas dinner. We stopped exchanging gifts a few years ago. Whole commercial exploitation bollocks and such. Besides that, New Year's. And you know, this is the first year in my life that I don't what I'm doing for New Year's Eve. And I don't give a fuck.

2. Do you gain weight around this time of year?
Nah. I usually maintain. I actually lost about 15 lbs. last winter.

3. What is your ideal holiday?
The one that celebrates me being surrounded by gorgeous, naked women. That sounds vaguely familiar. Actually, Thanksgiving is pretty awesome. It's about the only good idea America has left.

4. Do you visit anywhere this time of year?
Only if I feel like it.

5. Stay inside with hot coco or build a snowman?
The last thing I did of that nature was building a 4-foot snow phallus on the neighborhood golf course. Never been much for hot cocoa.

6. Be honest now... don't you find the concept of Santa Claus a little creepy?
Sometimes.

7. What is the best Xmas present you ever received?
Probably the only one I got this year. My dad wiped all my debt clean. I owed him about $400. I'm still going to pay him back somehow.

Zer0 · 12-28-2009, 05:11 PM

1. What Winter Holidays do you celebrate?
Erm christmas? And new years of course

2. Do you gain weight around this time of year?
No i never gain weight haha. I'll always be skinny

3. What is your ideal holiday?
Somewhere warmer and drier than this country.

4. Do you visit anywhere this time of year?
My family, and some relatives that i usually only see at christmas anyway.

5. Stay inside with hot coco or build a snowman?
Built a snowman first anyway with my little nephew. We rarely get snow here so when it does you have to make the most of it

when that snowman is built and sitting pretty i'd go back inside and put the feet up beside the fire with a nice hot coco

6. Be honest now... don't you find the concept of Santa Claus a little creepy?
The modern Santa Claus no not really, he means good. But if you rearrange 'Santa' you get 'Satan' and that kinda creeps me out a little, esp when the colour red is associated with both of them.

7. What is the best Xmas present you ever received?
I never really get any big presents. But i suppose getting my first bike for christmas when i was young was pretty awesome. And a couple of years ago my girlfriend at the time got me a ticket for the Smashing Pumpkins which really made my christmas

Burning Down · 12-28-2009, 07:33 PM

1. What Winter Holidays do you celebrate?
Just Christmas. And Midnight Mass is very boring and long...

2. Do you gain weight around this time of year?
Nope!

3. What is your ideal holiday?
Somewhere warm!

4. Do you visit anywhere this time of year?
Halifax and Boston. The flights were really delayed because of all the snow they got down East. We spent one night in an airport!

5. Stay inside with hot coco or build a snowman?
OUTSIDE! We're all skiers and snowboarders in my family.

6. Be honest now... don't you find the concept of Santa Claus a little creepy?
"He sees you when you're sleeping, he knows when you're awake..." etc. That's a little weird. But Santa visits about 825 houses per second on Christmas Eve around the world. No wonder nobody sees HIM!

7. What is the best Xmas present you ever received?
When I was a kid, I got a Nintendo 64 one year and a Sega Genesis system another year. They were on non-stop. I was sure I had the strongest thumbs in the world lol

Bulldog · 12-29-2009, 04:09 AM

1. What Winter Holidays do you celebrate?
Crimbo and New Year's I guess.

2. Do you gain weight around this time of year?
Probably a bit, but never enough so it's noticeable, not that it really matters anyway.

3. What is your ideal holiday?
Anywhere that's nice and far away from England. I was so much younger last time my family could afford holidays abroad, and I'd appreciate it so much more now that I'm that much older.

4. Do you visit anywhere this time of year?
My family's place.

5. Stay inside with hot coco or build a snowman?
Neither. I prefer to sit on my arse watching movies all day.

6. Be honest now... don't you find the concept of Santa Claus a little creepy?
I never give it a moment's thought to be perfectly honest.

7. What is the best Xmas present you ever received?

^ Includes Lolita, Dr Strangeglove, 2001, Clockwork Orange, Barry Lyndon, the Shining, Full Metal Jacket, Eyes Wide Shut and a nice little documentary about Kubrick's life and work. Good stuff then.

loveissucide · 12-29-2009, 08:29 AM

1. What Winter Holidays do you celebrate?
Just Christmas and barely at that.

2. Do you gain weight around this time of year?
No.

3. What is your ideal holiday?
GERMANY,Berlin was awesome and I really wanna go to Munich.Italy and Belgium are great too.

4. Do you visit anywhere this time of year?
No

5. Stay inside with hot coco or build a snowman?
Inside.Sodding cold out there.

6. Be honest now... don't you find the concept of Santa Claus a little creepy?
Yeah,elderly Turks should go back where they came from,coming over here taking our jobs and our women is bang out of order.

7. What is the best Xmas present you ever received?
iPod.That's when the music obsession really kicked in.
