Friday Five: 12 December 2003

1. Do you enjoy the cold weather and snow for the holidays?
I would enjoy it more if it actually occured. Texas cold weather is sparse, and usually nasty. The archetypical "white Christmas" isn't all that common at all. Besides, the weather changes so nastily these days that a 35-degree F day can be followed 48 hours later by a 65-degree F day.

2. What is your ideal holiday celebration? How, where, with whom would you celebrate to make things perfect?
Carolling Christmas Eve, then presents on Christmas morning. Margarita brunch instead of the "traditional" Chirstmas meal.

3. Do you do have any holiday traditions?
Getting the Three Amigos together following the Christmas family whatnot at a local tavern, going over the State of the Amigos.

4. Do you do anything to help the needy?
When I can, I donate to the Salvation Army and the Hunger Project. I haven't had the resources to help anyone in the last couple of years.

5. What one gift would you like for yourself?
Stability.
