I love Christmas music. I put it on before I went to bed last night. Hanging out with my family and Christmas shopping.
I keep it tidy, but not clean. If I try on a shirt or something, I don't go hang it back up. I'll just put it on my bed.
The oldest person I know is my next-door neighbor, Mr. Bob. He's like 86 or 87.
Everyone is just running around like chickens with their heads cut off.

I like the cold weather, being with my family, and I like giving people presents. I don't really like getting them.
I feel like it's decent. I keep up with the necessities. The dishes are done and the trash is out.
One of my mom's patients at her work is, like, 106. She said she lived so long because she didn't let things bother her.
I'm pro Bernie right now.

I get to see old friends, I get to see family, obviously, and the food is great.
I'm going to go with 8. I do a good job. I tend to clean things as I make the mess, so I don't leave anything sitting around.
That is probably my grandfather, he's close to 90.
I think it is done way too early. They make an event out of it for, like, two years.

Food, fun and fellowship, because that is what the holiday season is all about.
Owning several businesses, I have to keep my home life very organized, or else it's very difficult to keep everything else in check.
Being in the antique business, I'm surrounded by people who aren't typically my age. The oldest person would be well into their 90s.
Bah, humbug! That's what I'd like to say.
