Favourite 1 - 10 is 5 because it's blue. Prettiest 1 - 100 is 55 because it's extra blue! Coolest 1 - 1000 would be 555 or maybe 525 because that's special to me.

Current obsession: Redesigning my bedroom from top to bottom.

Current obsession: Denis Istomin (also cats, a constant in my life)

My bedroom walls are a nice soft shade of blue and I have a lot of cat-related items I collect.

What is your favorite thing to collect?

Books as well. I really like how they look on my shelf, although ebooks are a lot more convienent. As for my current obsession, it's political. What are your special interests?

Longer than 5 hours I guess.
I regularly drive 3+ (depending on traffic which is always terrible) from school to home, and every summer I go to Kentucky which is about 6 hours away. To me thats a solid but not terribly long drive. Our beach house is about 7 hours away and our mountain house is only 2.5 which is pretty a simple (and pretty!) drive. Going to our relatives in Ohio takes about 9 hours and thats getting to be long even for me.

At what point do you decide somewhere is far enough to fly to instead of drive?

I haven't flown anywhere in 13 years. I don't have a strong fear of being in flight. Although, on that last flight which was to Hawaii, the turbulence was so bad, that people were crying and yelling and the flight attendant strapped into her jumpseat had a genuine look of fear on her face. Mainly, my reasons for wanting to avoid flying unless there was no other option is the sensory overload of the airport and the boarding process, potentially having a TSA person touch me. Also, the stories you hear about bizarre behavior of passengers now and even bed bug infestations on seats gives me fear. If there were bedbugs on my seat in a flight, I would refuse to sit there regardless of the consequences.

Being in flight though, I'm calm about it. I figure it's a situation in which, in the most literal sense possible, I have no control of the situation. I resign myself to the fact that I might die on the flight from a plane crash, even though the probability is extremely remote. In that sense I make peace with that before flying. Even on that flight with the extreme turbulence, I was pretty calm. I figured: "Well, if this is it, this is it."....

When was the last time you flew on a plane?

In addition to playing the Peanuts Christmas music many many times during the Christmas season, I always play the Big Star song Jesus Christ ("Jesus Christ was born today".....) on Christmas day.

Other than that, I think I'm mentioned before, Thanksgiving is my grande fête. I make everything from scratch. A sumptuous feast for all.

Christmas: my mom decorates the crap outta the house (but not cheap cringey decor, like should-be-in-a-magazine decor), we do Secret Santa between all the siblings, we make a lot of Holiday cookies, Christmas pictures (of course :roll:), Christmas Eve dinner is Chinese, open siblings presents on Christmas Eve, wait for everyone to wake up, open presents in size order (my mom organizes our gifts based vaguely on size/price to give out in order so its all even), Christmas breakfast is cinnamon rolls, and then like whatever we want for the rest of the day (I go give my ponies their presents).
Also: Secret Santa with my friends and our annual barn Holiday party
Easter: not much of anything anymore lol. Me and all my siblings (Im the youngest at 18) plus significant others still all get Easter baskets from my mom and we have an Easter brunch at our house
Halloween: CANDY (not that I get to eat any lol) Also the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown, Haunted Houses (which I suck at), and random costumes with friends.
Valentines: my mom gives everyone in the family Valentines. Its sweet.

Since I live in America-
Thanksgiving: every other year is moms family at our house or (part of)dads family at my aunts house. Good home cooked food and lots of family pictures. I dont do Black Friday but I definitely do Cyber Monday
July 4th: fireworks in the street first, than over to our friends house for the towns fireworks. Lots of food and sparklers and typically alcohol as well lol. I tend to go down to my cousins house for the 4th and their community does theirs on the golf course with a golf cart decorating contest.

Whats your favorite place to vacation to?

Christmas is identical every year -- I can't even begin to describe all the traditions, but they include Bing Crosby, Vince Guaraldi and Alistair Sim among others. My senses go into overdrive around Christmas and everything matters! I still watch all the Rankin/Bass shows, as well (in a particular order and with particular rituals -- nope, I'm not ASD at all... :roll: )

Your Thanksgiving sounds wonderful.

Have you have figgy pudding?

Not yet.

Raised Jewish we always went out for Chinese Food.

As a Christian it is more meaningful, not just the food.
Last year after my wife’s dad died we didn’t even decorate.

This year we have already looked at our decorations.

Do you experience grief at different levels?

Can you elaborate? I don't understand what you mean about different levels?
