I like both giving & receiving at Xmastime, which is my favorite time of the year. And yes I watch every schlocky Xmas movie on the telly, even if they're bad! I wrap my Xmas gifts while watching "Planes,Trains & Automobiles" (Steve Martin & John Candy)& "White Christmas" (Bing Crosby); it's a tradition.

I fly United 99.9% of the time (*Alliance if UA doesn't go somewhere), so SWUs, CR1s, RCC drink chits all happily accepted if my SS has any & is feeling generous

I LOVE champagne!, and enjoy good red & white wine. I eat most types of food (love Italian), but am allergic to seafood/fish & not that big a fan of Indian food.

While I work in the movie industry I actually enjoy movies as well, so go quite often to the theatre or rent from Blockbuster. So gift certs to Pacific theater chain or Blockbuster Video also happily accepted. Or even a dvd (scary horror ones are not my thing however).

I read constantly & usually donate a 100 books a year to the local library for their fundraiser after I've finished reading them. Hmm, Barnes&Noble gift cert comes to mind.

I don't drink coffee, but do drink Tzao Green Tea which Starbucks carries.

Needless to say, I love traveling - and meeting new people, such as FTers.

I live at the beach, so life is pretty casual unless I have biz mtgs.

And I'm not as tech savvy as my fellow FTers, so if my SS happens to live in the LA area & wants to show me how to use the new Treo650 I'm going to get courtesy of some UA promo, free lessons would be a good SS gift

Cheers & Happy Holidays in advance to everyone!

To my SS recipient - package being mailed tomorrow
