True, but I can't really talk about it.
TNP will be going to a Christmas Eve church service.
True, but I can't really talk about it.
TNP will be going to a Christmas Eve church service.
False. One of the great bennies of atheism is the whole "not having to go to church" part.
TNP has tried wassail (the drink, not the traveling choir).

True. It was OK, but I prefer eggnog with a good slug o' rum.
TNP likes Handel's Messiah.
False - apart from that bit about liking sheep. That was funny.
TNP is planning on catching someone under some mistletoe this Xmas.
To sleep, perchance to experience amygdalocortical activation and prefrontal deactivation.
Anyone I'd want to catch isn't within catching distance, alas. I will always fondly remember the year my dad hung some up so he could 'catch' all three of my mom's sisters-and her gay brother. He had limited success on all fronts.
TNP loves eggnog.
True, as noted above! Don't forget the nutmeg on top.
TNP can look outside and see snow right now.

False - the day it snows in Bali we need to be very, very scared (I'm seeing a "2012" kind of scenario).
TNP, if given an all-expenses-paid vacation to the location of their choice, would choose to go to Iceland over Indonesia.
True. I'm sorry, but this is what awaits me in Iceland:
TNP hasn't sent out all of their Seasonal Holiday cards yet.
False. Sent 'em out about a week and a half ago.
After seeing that picture, TNP is now considering a visit to Iceland, too.
False, Iceland has always been on my 'Bucket List' of places I wanted to see. It's still below Halifax, though.
TNP would find a trip to Halifax interesting.
I would actually and Iceland for that matter.
TNP Does not send out cards any more.
True (and although no one asked, I would LOVE to go to Iceland).
The next poster likes spicy food.
True. I have even begun cooking with habaneros.
TNP hates cooking.
Not true, I have done it for both fun AND profit.
TNP can't wait for the holidays to be over with.
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.
True. Oh, so, so true.
TNP plans on getting sloshed tomorrow.
Hell yes, I've got a handle of Sailor Jerry's ready to go.
TNP is currently cold.
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.
Nope warm and toasty.
TNP still has some christmas shopping to do.
Welcome to Mellophant.
We started with nothing and we still have most of it left.
Only in the sense that I have to get groceries for dinner tomorrow, and to get me through the dead time while the grocery store is closed.
TNP has not yet become addicted to 24/7 supermarkets.

Nope, all done. Still have some gift-wrapping to do, though.
TNP has kids who are looking forward to Santa's visit.
True, and they apparently went nuts.
TNP has a shit-ton of stuff to return or exchange.

Nope I bought me every thing I wanted and nothing I didn't.
TNP was swamped first day back at work today.
Welcome to Mellophant.
We started with nothing and we still have most of it left.
Nope. It was so quiet I sent an e-mail from my home address to my work address just to be sure it was still functioning.
TNP has three out of four grandparents living.
Alas, no - all four have died.
TNP has an older sister.
False. I've never seen a single episode.
TNP has plans for New Year's Eve.
Yes and I posted them in the New Year's Eve thread.
TNP caught a movie this week in the theater.
No, I virutally never go to the theater.
TNP is in the middle of a good novel right now.
Well, closer to the beginning than the middle, but I'm reading Neal Stephenson's Anathem and it's fantastic so far.
TNP has a valid passport.

I think false, but I'm not sure. If I had to bet I'd say it's expired, but I haven't seen it in a few years.
TNP will drink champagne in the next 24 hours.
True! I will be for the new year, but I also like to mix it with Chambord for any old night!
TNP has changed a diaper in the last month.
False - and guess what! It's not even on my 'bucket list'.
TNP has had a very merry xmas.
To sleep, perchance to experience amygdalocortical activation and prefrontal deactivation.
Three of them actually, and they were all pretty nice. I never get shit for Xmas, but I cleaned up this year and had a really good couple of days with family.
TNP will be a designated driver tonight.
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.
False. I hereby designate myself to not leave the house after 6PM, and to get utterly shitfaced in the comfort and safety of my own home. No amateur nights for me; NYE and St. Patrick's Day are the two occasions I'm more than happy to stay home.
TNP doesn't plan to drink alcohol tonight for reasons other than being the designated driver.

True. I had to stop drinking booze when I first went on SSRIs, and haven't gotten back to it.
TNP always participates in a huge New Year's Eve party.
False. I've never liked going out on NYE - I'm not much of a party animal to begin with; I don't like the thought of driving home when the drunken revelers are swerving on the road; and I get pretty sleepy before midnight.
TNP doesn't know who Fatty Arbuckle is.
False. He was a plump Hollywood comic actor accused of causing the death of a young woman. Although acquitted, IIRC, it ruined his career.
TNP knows who Reinhard Heydrich was.
True - but in a very vague sense.
TNP has already broken a NYResolution.

False. I never make resolutions.
TNP has yummy leftovers from New Year's festivities.
Nope, can't say I had any treats.
TNP did make New Year resolutions.
I'm going to go with false. I'm currently making some changes and planning out some things, but the timing is coincidental.
TNP spent the day nursing a hangover/headache/upset stomach.
False. Spent NYE watching "Princess Bride" at home with family, popcorn and a couple of margaritas, then went sedately to bed, so nothing hangover-inducing happened.
TNP adores shell-hunting on the beach.
False. I like walking on the beach (esp. Nags Head, N.C.) but I don't hunt shells, as such.
TNP always worries just a little about sharks when swimming in the ocean.
Naw. Sharks don't really worry me when I'm in the ocean. It's the kraken and the other stuff that's supposed to be mythological, or extinct, that has the guy in the back of my head sweating.
TNP is afraid to go out in boats below a certain size because of vague concerns about sharks or other aquatic monsters.
No, not really, although once when I went out whale-watching in Hawaii, I did wonder what would happen if one of those suckers surfaced right under us. There must be a reason that never seems to happen, right?
TNP regularly attends church services.
"Church services"? Hah hah hah hah hee hee ho ho snerk gasp LOL tee hee. That is to say ... false.
TNP has never participated in a protest march.
False.
TNP has an uncommon food allergy.
False - or certainly none that I'm aware of yet.
TNP can juggle 3 or more objects.
To sleep, perchance to experience amygdalocortical activation and prefrontal deactivation.
False. I've always liked juggling (and have several times seen the Flying Karamazov Brothers perform live, which was a lot of fun) but have no skill for it myself.
TNP has heard Jethro Tull's "Aqualung" in the last week (as I just did).
False! And the zombie thread rises from the grave, farting dirt from every orifice! BRAAAAAAAAAAIIIIINNNNNS!
TNP has burned something on to a CD or DVD in the last 72 hours.
