4.) Do you have any holiday traditions?

Why sure. A tree is acquired, decorated, installed with presents at its base, and then we get up on the 25th and open the gifts. Not incredibly original, no, but artiste's cannot be expected to command total originality in every enterprise.

5.) Have you ever driven around at night just to look at the decorations in your neighborhood?


Not consciously, I think. It was more a case of 'Oh geez why am I out so late' and then bam! I see some twinklies in the dark. Festive twinklies.

6.) Have you ever built a snowman?

I've drawn one or two. That's as close at it gets.

7.) Have you ever gone sledding?

I have, yes! Because I live on a hill, I can go sledding down my front yard anytime I want.

1.) What is your favorite thing about the Winter season?
I love the cold weather & cuter clothes that I get to wear during winter. I also really love decorations/Christmas lights/etc. being put up all over town.

2.) Do you have a song that reminds you of Winter?
I can't think of any beyond Christmas Songs. One of my favs is Santa Baby.

3.) Do you have a favorite holiday movie?
TBH, no. I don't really like many holiday movies.

4.) Do you have any holiday traditions?
Usually, we just put up Christmas decorations a few days after Thanksgiving. I usually have a dinner on Christmas Eve and lunch on Christmas day.

5.) Have you ever driven around at night just to look at the decorations in your neighborhood?
Yeah, definitely. I love seeing people's decorated houses. Growing up, we used to play a game in which we would guess how many houses with some sort of Christmas lights on our drive from the city to our house in the country.

6.) Have you ever built a snowman?
Yeah, but they never come out looking very good.

7.) Have you ever gone sledding?
I can't say that I have. It seems like it'd be great fun, though!

7.) Have you ever gone sledding?
back when i lived in colorado!! there was also a little hill nearby wherever i lived so we'd always go there to sled when it snowed. then we moved to florida and my little circular sled became a beyblade ring bc i didn't own an actual one for my beyblades.

3.) Do you have a favorite holiday movie?
Elf. No question about it. It's perfect.

4.) Do you have any holiday traditions?
Not really anything special coming to mind. But I've not really had a proper Christmas for the last 3 years.

5.) Have you ever driven around at night just to look at the decorations in your neighborhood?
No. That's definitely not a thing for me.

6.) Have you ever built a snowman?
I have indeed! Always good fun and one of the few things about snow that I like.

7.) Have you ever gone sledding?
Nope. I don't even know where would have been good for that where I grew up.

7.) Have you ever gone sledding?

Hrmm... well once I ran down a sand dune and fell flat on my face like I'd been whisked straight from a cartoon, but that's as close as it gets. It's something I can recommend, by the way. Going ass over head surely keeps the ego in check.

8.) Have you ever participated in a snowball fight?

I think, maybe once? Can't honestly remember. Probably no.

 

[Yue Han]

8.) Have you ever participated in a snowball fight?

Yes. Probably more than once but only one time sticks out in memory; it didn't last very long but it was sort of fun I guess.

 

[mishy.]

8.) Have you ever participated in a snowball fight?
I distinctly remember getting hit in the face with one and crying so yes at least one.

 

[Homeskulled Kid]

8.) Have you ever participated in a snowball fight?

Planning on it, but no. Food fight, on the other hand, is a resounding yes! I got a tomato in the eye and the whole business was desperately carroty. Word of advice... don't hurl vegetables indoors unless you do not have a stake in the joint.

9.) Are you Team Shovel, Team Snowblower, or Team Leave It For Someone Else?

Team Shovel. Good exercise, plus it allows for a nice hot chocolate treat afterwards.

 

[mishy.]

9.) Are you Team Shovel, Team Snowblower, or Team Leave It For Someone Else?
None of the above since I live in Florida haha. Back when I lived in Colorado I was little so the job was left to my dad.

 

[Homeskulled Kid]

9.) Are you Team Shovel, Team Snowblower, or Team Leave It For Someone Else?

By default, I am always Team Leave It For Someone Else. Laziness is true suffering. Believe me. I wish I could be a worker bee but alas I am a slob larvae.

10.) Are you a scarf person?

Nah, never worn a scarf in my life. I should though!

 

[Homeskulled Kid]

10.) Are you a scarf person?

Yes. Emphatically. I love the things, and only refrain from wearing them when I know its too temperate, that they're going to get tangled in the trolley or piss me off, full stop. Plus my throat is glorious, and I don't want to deprive the masses of such a spectacle.

More than that, I am a necklace person, and I don't really know a manly word for necklace.

 

[mishy.]

10.) Are you a scarf person?

Yesss. I wish I had more chances to wear a scarf but unfortunately the weather here is often too warm for one!

1.) What is your favorite thing about the Winter season?
Nights. They are so peaceful and quiet.

2.) Do you have a song that reminds you of Winter?
I don't think I have. I have a lot of songs that remind me of Summer and Autumn, but I don't think I have any for the Winter.

3.) Do you have a favorite holiday movie?
There are a lot of czech fairy tales that are labeled as holiday movie and they are okay. But one that I really love is Czech version of Cinderella from 1976 named Three Wishes for Cinderella. It takes place in winter (that's mostly why it's holiday movie) and is nice spin on the whole Cinderella story. I even found out that there is version with English subtitles if you would like to check it out - I really recommend it.

4.) Do you have any holiday traditions?
Every year I plug in my PS1 and play one of the "kid" games I have there - Spyro, Crash, Croc, Monster Inc. and so on...

5.) Have you ever driven around at night just to look at the decorations in your neighborhood?
My neighborhood = school and kindergarten, so no. And I hate cars.

6.) Have you ever built a snowman?
7.) Have you ever gone sledding?
8.) Have you ever participated in a snowball fight?
Who haven't?

9.) Are you Team Shovel, Team Snowblower, or Team Leave It For Someone Else?
Shovel. I would like to be Team Leave It For Someone Else, but I'm only competent person to get rid of the snow.

10.) Are you a scarf person?
YES! But I have only 1 scarf. But it's historical scarf that I got from my dad, who got it from his dad, who bought it in Italy.

11.) Do you have any New Year's Eve traditions?

New Year's Eve? Not really. I do like to spend the day watching tweets roll in from the EpcotNYE account, and then videos of celebrations around the world though.
