Are you throwing or attending a holiday party this year? Any ideas/tips to share?
Whoamg, Heather's party! I work that night but I will be guaranteed to be there and I will be guaranteed to bring her the awesome present that I bought.
I have no significant tips, however, at work Heather's mom told me that she would be leaving buckets all over the basement as she fears there will be projectile vomit and there is no bathroom down there.
Who would you like to kiss under the mistletoe?

What are some of your favorite holiday traditions?
Submitted by sami711.Most of my favorite holiday traditions are those done at the church. The first week of December is always the Christmas event, with hayrides and a dinner and a little show where the kids all dress up as angels and shepards and make up a nativity scene on the stage. When I was a kid I used to participate in it; now that I'm older I still enjoy being able to sit and watch.
Another tradition of the church is the lighting of the advent wreath, wherein every Sunday a family comes up and lights one of the four candles on the wreath, counting down till Jesus' birth. Then, on Christmas eve, a white candle is placed in the centre and carols are sung. Then, everyone in the church gets to hold a candle and, using the flame from the wreath, we pass the light around to every candle held around the church. We all sing silent night with the lights out, candles glowing. It's truly beautiful, and a tradition that I've grown up with.
What are the things in life that you're truly passionate about?
Submitted by Jess.I'll do this in list form; it's easier and looks more organized!
1. Writing
I express myself through writing words better than speaking them. It's just the way I've always been, since I aced that spelling test in the second grade and proved to everyone, Yes, I can spell, bitches.
2. Music
I find that in this day and age, music has a way of expressing anything. I think one of the things I regret most in life is never learning how to play an instrument. It's too late for me now, but I can dream. I also have friends who are in a band, so I think it suffices well enough. They're so incredibly talented.
3. Friends
Family is always important, but I find the bond between friends to be more significant in the sense that you aren't forced to like them or care for them. It's something that you slip into when you find that niche with another person that makes you want to cling and to never want to leave. My friends are so influential and so talented and so perfect, I wouldn't trade them for anything.
What's one thing you regret not doing?
Submitted by Mr. Nice.Not taking that long hike the first time I went to The Philippines. I could have fired a gun at the end, could have completed a life goal.
What is your favorite board game?
Submitted by I'm Unique.I've always loved playing LIFE with my girlfriends. We would always have a competition in having the most kids.
Show us something blue.
What's your favorite heartbreak song?
Submitted by esta86."Your Ex-Lover is Dead" by Stars is by far one of the greatest heartbroken songs I've heard. It focuses more on the looking back and moving on, which is more of a better approach to take with a breakup. There's always the brokenness, but few artists ever emphasize on the moments that follow it and the moments that made the relationship remotely decent. The best line: "I'm not sorry I met you. I'm not sorry it's over. I'm not sorry there's nothing to say."
What's your favorite music for a Sunday morning?
Submitted by Nick.I usually go to church on Sunday mornings, so my Sunday music is usually based on what we end up singing there.
What's the worst pickup line you've ever heard?
Submitted by ShellEy."I must be finding treasure, because I'm really digging your chest."
This was said to a friend at a Halloween party; the guy was a pirate.
