False...I'm not a big fan. As a semi-interesting data point: My younger brother and his wife love it and go swing dancing all the time (they are pretty good at it, too!)
TNP loves snow.

TNP loves snow.
True. I especially like to walk at night, with the moonlight glinting on the crisp upper crust of snow and my boots crunching away.
TNP has more than two coffee mugs within arm's reach right now.
False. I'm something of a clean freak. It would drive me batshit to have more than one in use (for me) at a time and I'm the only one here.
TNP has time off work scheduled between now and the end of the year
Yep, I'm taking this Friday and next Monday off and flying out for a long weekend with the kids.

"You laugh at me because I'm different; I laugh at you because I'm on nitrous."

False. Although if I get that replica sword I have my eye on for Christmas....
TNP has kids.
False. One day, I plan to have one or two. But that will be, ideally, after school, once I have a decent job under me, and once I have a great partner to raise them with. :-)
TNP has cats/dogs/turtles/sea monkeys in lieu of children.
False. I have cats, dogs, and fish IN ADDITION to a child. Quite the menagerie, and if it were up to me and my son, we'd add at least one or two more cats.
The next poster has in the past been at least 10 pounds heavier than they are right now.
True. I was huge, I lost 40 pounds, I gained half of it back. I'm under doctor's orders to lose it again, if not more.
TNP wanted to be a fire(wo)man when they grew up!
Well of course! Didn't every kid growing up in the 70s watching Emergency! want to be a firefighter? In some ways I can say I even achieved that: Everyone in the Navy is trained in firefighting techniques, and I even qualified for firefighting up through scene leader. I know I can do it, if I have to - but I also know, now, I'm not very good at it: I have a Hell of a time taking a moment to step back and see how or whether the problem can be tackled safely if there's anyone in direct hazard.
TNP eats a healthy breakfast at least 4 days a week.
False - you only need a healthy breakfast if you are a farmer or a shepherd, or you might not be able to grab another bite to eat for the rest of the day! IMNSHO.
TNP has bitten their fingernails at some time.

To sleep, perchance to experience amygdalocortical activation and prefrontal deactivation.
False, that's one habit I've managed to avoid.
TNP has at least one food item in the freezer that they know they're going to throw away uneaten.

Not in the freezer, but there's some weeks-old pizza in the fridge that I know is going in the trash soon.
TNP has a favorite country-music song, and will tell us what it is.
Johnny Cash, "Big River."

TNP has been to more than three concerts this year.
False. I haven't been to a concert in the past three years.
TNP reads on the toilet.
True. Mostly magazines. About horses.
TNP does not like movie theatre popcorn.
True. It's either dry or has some kind of nasty, fake buttery-flavored oil on it. Gimme my homemade stuff, please.
TNP hasn't stepped inside of a church in the last year.
Very true. I'm not sure when was the last time I was in a church; the last time I remember was when my son was baptized by his paternal grandfather, a minister (for family reasons I endured the ceremony with as much grace as I could muster, although I do not believe that stuff). That would be more than a decade ago.
The next poster doesn't mind eating cold pizza for breakfast once in a while.
False. I don't mind cold pizza particularly, but have never had it for lunch, and don't care to start.

True - doesn't everyone at some point in the run-up to Xmas?
TNP has already purchased all the presents they'll be giving people.
To sleep, perchance to experience amygdalocortical activation and prefrontal deactivation.
False-I am waaay behind on my Christmas shopping thanks in large part to Paypal sucking.
TNP prefers a holiday poultry other than turkey (would rather have goose or duck or pheasant or Macaw or something).
False; while I love duck and goose and would be open to trying just about anything else - I. Love. Turkey.
TNP has been roller skating/blading in the past year.
"You laugh at me because I'm different; I laugh at you because I'm on nitrous."
find me at Goodreads
False - I've not been on roller-skates for 30 years. * sigh!* And besides, if The Creator had meant us to travel about on tiny wheels, we'd have castors instead of feet.
TNP can easily do a "bunny-hop" on a bicycle.
To sleep, perchance to experience amygdalocortical activation and prefrontal deactivation.
True, but only enough to hop on and off curbs.
TNP needs caffeine to function properly.
Give me whiskey when I'm thirsty,Give me a cold beer when I'm dry, Give me root beer when I'm sickly, Give me a headstone when I die.
False. I've got a heart murmur and caffeine does funky things to me. I can only have small amounts every once in a while.
TNP hates broccoli with a passion.
False, I love broccoli and almost any other vegetable.
TNP is TFR You SOB
I don't understand that sentence, so I'll say "No."
TNP did understand it.
True, I understood that I meant the next poster would be TFR You SOB, who was on line at the time of my post and had recently posted in the thread.
TNP would rather have a beer than a glass of wine.
Oh you know me so well Hatshepsut(also, how do you pronounce your user name?)

No. Usually I have my music on 4 or 5, rather than 10.
TNP recognizes the phrase "But this goes to 11."
True - Nigel Tufnel is a legend in this household.
TNP still has no clue what is being referred to.
To sleep, perchance to experience amygdalocortical activation and prefrontal deactivation.
true.
TNP has a stalker.
False, although I had a proto-stalker in the 7th grade who must have grown up to be a real creep.
(Lupers, "this goes to 11" comes from the Rob Reiner film "This Is Spinal Tap," one of the funniest films ever made. And TFR, you may call me "Hattie." People usually pronounce the full name as "Hot Shep Soot" but I don't think anyone today knows for sure how the ancient Egyptians said it.)
TNP knows the differences between pool, billiards, and snooker.
true - snooker is a game for gentlemen while the other two are mere pretenders
TNP believes that christmas has the potential to bring out the child in everyone
(and thank you for the Reiner info, H)

True! That potential is in a LOT of things!
TNP lives someplace where there usually isn't snow.
True. I think it's snowed here once in my 24 years.
TNP is presently in danger of being snowed in.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA,no. I actually have my AC on right now.
TNP plans on being hungover come New Years Day.
Give me whiskey when I'm thirsty,Give me a cold beer when I'm dry, Give me root beer when I'm sickly, Give me a headstone when I die.
False. I've been hungover exactly once in my life, in college, after discovering screwdrivers at a cast party.
TNP was in at least one play or musical in college.
Not me, my theatre carreer ended in High School.
TNP has heard the song "Goody Two Shoes" by Adam Ant on the radio in the last month.
Hell, if I didn't do things just because they made me feel a bit ridiculous, I wouldn't have much of a social life. - Santo Rugger.

TNP has a single favorite Christmas song.
Tut! too slow!
True - it's between Fairy Tale Of New York and Stop The Cavalry, depending on my mood.
TNP preferred Duran Duran to Spandau Ballet.

Who didn't? I still like Duran Duran.
TNP skipped breakfast this morning.

False. These days I never skip breakfast.
TNP has watched (or will watch) a "holiday movie" this season.
False, oddly not yet.
TNP is amazed how long this thread has gone on.
Definitely true - but I'm happy about it!
TNP has a particular relative he or she dreads seeing during the holidays.
True. Part of why Thanksgiving this year was a trial.
TNP is looking forward to the holidays.
True. A mix of good and not-so-good events are scheduled but I think on balance it's positive.
TNP did not visit the ocean until they were at least 9 years old.
False-I was probably a toddler, but certainly before 9. I try and hit the beach at least twice a year, I love just walking the sand and enjoying the sounds.
TNP is presently frustrated about something.
