    Christmas by default, I guess

    Hot chocolate

    Holidays in Hawaii! (SNOW = MISERY)

    Santa Claus? Rather not

    New Years - little party - on a beach in Hawaii? :)

    little gifts are cool

    Holiday with friends (you can pick your friends)

    I’d rather the sushi, thanks

    Send cards - yes

    Like the season - with a side of stress

    Christmas sweater - if I am stuck HERE in the cold and a sarong was not an option ;)

    Fireplace (if I am stuck here) but prefer the bonfire on said beach in Hawaii

    horse-drawn sleigh just because I love horses

    fake Christmas Palm tree - I actually have one here :)
