1. Last night it snowed, and it still looks pretty, despite changing to rain.
2. BSG 2 and 3, plus some new comic books.
3. Hrm. Let's see... according to my iTunes christmas playlist, the one I've heard the most is "I head the bells on Christmas day," as sung by Rockapella. But I also really love "Good King Wenceslas," especially if played by a brass quartet. The version on the soundtrack for the Muppet Christmas Carol is a good example.

1. Have you gotten any snow yet?
I live in Central Texas, where it does not snow. We may be lucky to get some sleet, but I'm doubtful about snowfall this year.
2. What are one or two items on your Christmas wishlist?
This purse, and this cutting board
3. What is your favorite Christmas song?
I don't think I could just pick one. The 'Baby it's cold outside' song would probably qualify if it wasn't so overplayed. |

Three random Christmas related questions for you to answer... hope you find this somewhat interesting
1. Have you gotten any snow yet?

HAVE A GREAT DECEMBER AND A GREAT HOLIDAY SEASON!!! |
Good questions, thanks for starting this Ceidon!
It hasn't snowed in coastal So Cal in my lifetime and I'm in my mid-thirties. So, not so much snow here.
I want/need a new pair of running shoes, my old New Balance are shot and make my feet hurt - and I would like so many movies/soundtracks there's not enough room here. Any of the Pirates movies, some of James Newton Howard's newer scores, whatever.
I heard a version of the Little Drummer Boy this weekend that was really amazing with the harmonies and all, not ususally one of my favorites, but this arrangement was.
Merry Christmas

1. Same for us here in Portland... just rain. 
2. I'd love more framed photos of friends and family. Last year two made fake school wallet-size photos (remember how awful those used to be?) The pictures really did look old with faded color & crinkled up. The kids had bad hair-dos and retro clothes. We nearly died laughing on Christmas morning!
3. Favorite song? That's a tough one. It's hard to choose between "Grandma Got Ran Over By A Reindeer" and "All I Want For Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth".  That said, nothing gets me in the mood for the holidays more than hearing Handel's Messiah. But the song that really gets me is "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus". |

Where were you on Thanksgiving? It snowed! I am in DFW. Even showed up on the Cowboy game! Guess your area is missing out. Soooo sad.  |

I'm in Austin. The closest we get to snow is sleet. We've never really had a proper snow (more than 2 inches.)

2 inches of snow is enough for people in the DC area to freak out completely, drive like morons, etc. I wanted to hand out a sign the other morning that said:
"Yes, the laws of physics do apply to your SUV, no matter how much you payed for it!"
