Our Mac enthusiast Artoo writes in with his thoughts on Christmas! Please note the photo with his true love…
What is your favourite thing about Christmas?
Oddly enough, I have to dig into Christmas past for this one. Christmas time memories of yore is what I like most about Christmas. From the time the lights go up to the time we take them down, it just seems that everything I do just reminds me of great past memories.
Wether it be at four or five years old, opening up my table hockey set and Star Wars action figures at my grand parent’s place on Rockwood street and then playing with my 3 cousins in the halls of that huge house — or a couple of years back, meeting my sweet right before Xmas and us going on our first date on boxing day. Christmas time is magical.
What’s your least favourite thing about Christmas?
The shopping. The hectic pace in public places. The stress that many people inflict on themselves to conform to the commercialism of Christmas. Relax people, it’s just Christmas!
What’s better? The Christmas Story or National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation? Why?
National Lampoon’s is my favorite of the two films. I have been watching it for years. Let’s face it, there is a little Griswold in all of us. I saw A Christmas Story for the first time a year or two ago. To quote Palmer on this one: ‘Don’t get me wrong, It’s a great film” but it’s not yet in my annual rotation of Christmas Specials.
Speaking of Christmas films or specials, I must admit that for me there is a new king in town. “Elf’ has become my favorite of all favorites. Syrup on pasta… Mmmmmm!
What’s your favourite drink during the holiday season? 
Bailey’s… definately Bailey’s!!
What should Vero get Palmer for Christmas?
She should get him Guitar Hero 3 for the Wii or the Game Rock band for the PS3. Should she have trouble finding one of these items, she could buy him a cool Tintin book or the movies Spiderman 3 or Ratatouille in Blu Ray format. There is also an new Adventures of Young Indy Jones DVD set that just came out or the new Keane or Kylie Minogue Concert DVDs or… … oh.. what should VÉRO buy PALMER… .Ehm… nevermind!
