1. What's your favorite Christmas Carol?
I cant STAND Christmas music. Back in the days when I would actually be in church on Xmas eve instead of collapsed in the corner of my local clutching a pool queue like it was my son I used to quite enjoy Xmas carols as it made me FEEL like it was Xmas but I dont remember any now.

2. What's your favorite Christmas Movie?
National Lampoons Christmas Vacation or Home Alone/Home Alone 2.

3. What's the best Christmas gift you ever received?
I never remember whether I got gifts for Xmas or a birthday.

4. What's your fondest Christmas memory?
Waking up to one and only one white christmas that I remember. Playing out in the street with friends and making snowmen. I have another memory, im not sure if its exactly my fondest but I remember my mother waking me up one year mad because it was 11am. I got up, i went downstairs in a haze and instantly realised that in my awfully hungover state I had not responded to being woken up very well at all. The one and only time i ever tell my mother to f*ck off and its on Christmas morning, fan bloody tastic.

5. Are you honestly offended when people say Happy Holidays instead of Merry Christmas?
Im English, so we dont hear this.

6. Were you aware that it wasn't until the latter part of the fourth century that the Roman Church began observing December 25th as Jesus' birthday and that it wasn't until the fifth century that the Church ordered the birth of Jesus to be forever observed on that date and that at the time of this decision the Roman Church knew that the pagan religious cults throughout the Roman and Creek world celebrated the pagan sun god, Mithra on the same day and and that when the Roman Julian Calendar in 46 BC was adopted, December 24th was the shortest day of the year and therefore December 25th was the first annual day that daylight began to increase and thus it was considered the Rebirth of the Sun and that the festival including colored lights (to ward off evil spirits) and gift giving, festive meals and of course decorated trees and that there are at least ten references in the bible warning that these green trees were associated with idolatry and pagan worship and that the alleged claim that Jesus was born on Christmas is false as no Sheppard are roaming the land in the dead of winter and were you also aware that the Scottish church, English church and American puritans all tried to ban Christmas because it's a pagan holiday which is completely true? So in conclusion: in celebrating Christmas you're actually participating in Pagan sacrilege and you're probably going to hell.
I was aware of bits and pieces of it I'd heard but not really given a toss about. Were you aware that if you tried to say this you would probably suffocate?
