Holiday Interview

[17:30] hobbes8u: Tifany I’m going to need a holiday interview from you
[17:30] hobbes8u: for the blog
[17:30] Tifany: you are? haha
[17:31] Tifany: oh, okay.. I am all yorus :)
[17:31] Tifany: and yours
[17:31] hobbes8u: nice
[17:31] hobbes8u: First off what’s your favorite Christmas cuss word?
[17:31] Tifany: Hmm……Mistlefuckingtoe
[17:31] hobbes8u: well done
[17:32] hobbes8u: What’s your favorite childhood present?
[17:32] Tifany: What childhood present?
[17:32] hobbes8u: You didn’t get presents as a child?
[17:32] Tifany: I don’t remember any…hehe.
[17:33] hobbes8u: You grew up and had 13 christmases or so as a child and you can’t even remember one present?
[17:33] Tifany: If I got one, it would have been a book.
[17:33] hobbes8u: Not one present so good it was memorable?
[17:33] Tifany: Not one. I don’t have good xmas memories, unfortunately
[17:33] Tifany: Wait, wait.. I do remember one.
[17:33] hobbes8u: I’m all eyes
[17:35] Tifany: Right before my dad died, (meaning, three months about), I got a gift that I loved…….It was an apron full of art supplies, i.e. brushes, paints, pencils, etc… and i loved it. It had iron on things to decorate the front of the apron. I remember telling my mom to iron them on, and she said, “I can’t iron those on when you’re wearing the apron, it’ll burn you.”
[17:35] hobbes8u: lovely memory
[17:35] Tifany: It’s not really my memory, I watched it on a family video tape last year.
[17:35] hobbes8u: What’s the worst thing about Santa Claus?
[17:36] Tifany: that he’s not real.
[17:37] Tifany: Oh, and that he didn’t bring me Rudolph’s bell from his choker thing, I asked for it every year.
[17:38] Tifany: I am sorry my interview is not more happy..haha.. my Christmases are just mediocre, and the one’s from my childhood are only one, and it was far from happy.
[17:38] Tifany: The xmas dinner with you guys was probably the best xmas thing that’s ever happened to me.
[17:39] hobbes8u: wow that’s a downer
[17:39] hobbes8u: I had no idea
[17:39] Tifany: such is life :) hehe.. I’m not bitter, or angry.. it just is. I have no doubt that xmases in the future will be fabulous :) And this one probably will be, too.
[17:39] hobbes8u: I know what’ll cheer us up . Let’s make up a joke.
[17:40] Tifany: Haha.. I’m not un-cheerful
[17:40] Tifany: hehe
[17:40] hobbes8u: I’ll make up the riddle and you make up the answer
[17:40] Tifany: lovely !!!
[17:40] hobbes8u: What do you get when you cross a blood spatter analysist and an elf
[17:42] Tifany: Dexter and a leprechan
[17:42] Tifany: hehe
[17:42] Tifany: wait, that doesn’t make sense
[17:42] hobbes8u: hmm
[17:42] Tifany: a bloody elf? haha
[17:42] hobbes8u: A short creepy guy?
[17:42] hobbes8u: haha
[17:42] hobbes8u: I don’t know either
[17:42] hobbes8u: But I obviously love Dexter
[17:43] Tifany: We can be more clever..haha.
[17:43] Tifany: I can tell, I love him, too.
[17:43] Tifany: I would love to be his victim
[17:43] hobbes8u: yeah
[17:43] hobbes8u: haha
[17:44] Tifany: but, the one who lives, of course
[17:44] Tifany: hehe
[17:44] hobbes8u: okay any last holiday thoughts for the readers?
[17:45] Tifany: Christmas is not about what gifts you get, or how much you spend, it’s about the feeling, and ability to spend time with family when our time with them is fleeting. It’s about the feeling of giving, and seeing happy faces, and feasting on ham, and loving everyone. It’s about days off work, and having xmas dinners with the best friends that anyone can ever ask for. And by that I mean you guys :)
[17:46] hobbes8u: Well we loved doing that dinner
[17:46] hobbes8u: It was the funnest thing to plan
[17:46] hobbes8u: Thanks for a nice interview
[17:46] hobbes8u: And have a Merry Christmas

    I’d say the Lights at Temple Square are national tradition, but everyone in the nation might not know about that.

    I also don’t know if it’s national, but the 100 hours til Christmas on FM 100. I’ve listened to nonstop Christmas music on that station for about 8 years.

    The lighting of the National Christmas Tree is the beginning of a three week Washington, DC Christmas tradition. Nationally known entertainers and a military band perform and the President brings a message of peace to the nation and the world.
