True, although I have read Bram Stoker’s Dracula.

Yes, back when I was a rowing and canoeing counselor at Scout summer camp. Great job, though, and I’m still in touch with two of my cabinmates.
TNP has lived for more than three days in a cabin.
Almost. I was part of a wedding party that stayed in cabins in the Appalachian mountains. We got there on Friday about noon, and left Sunday evening, so not quite.
The Next Poster is already excited that Christmas is coming.
Oh Hell no. December 20th would be the beginning of “Christmas Season” if I had my way
TNP would skip Christmas entirely this year if they could
True. This year, next year, every year.
TNP, like me, doesn’t for Holidays in general.
[QUOTE=…TNP, like me, doesn’t for Holidays in general.[/QUOTE]
False, I think. Not sure what is missing in “doesn’t for holidays”, but I enjoy holidays and family get-togethers and love going to church on all major feast days. The curmudgeon in me doesn’t like excessive planning, decoration, commercialization, and early preparation for what should be joyous and mostly solemn observances.
TNP looks forward to handing out treats to trick-or-treaters.
Yeah, kinda. But I tell teenagers who show up in everyday clothes toting pillowcases, “No costume, no candy.”
TNP thinks “fun size” candy ought to be much larger.
So very true!
TNP celebrates a family birthday at a holiday celebration.
False, although my husband used to, since his grandfather was born on New Year’s Eve and owned a tavern.
The next player has (or is getting) a yard decoration for Halloween.
Yes, it’s a gargoyle/dragon/demon thing my daughter made when she was in Jr. High (she’s now 37). We put it up every year.
The Next Poster has actually bobbed for apples.
False
TNP has or is going to carve a pumpkin.
False. Haven’t done that in years.
TNP does not wash his or her jeans every time they are worn.
True, I usually only wear long pants for a couple hours at a time, so they hang on a hook until the second or third time.
TNP usually goes barefoot in their own house and yard.
False, I’m the only one in the house who doesn’t. I like to keep my tootsies warm.
The Next Poster believes in The Great Pumpkin.
False, but a big PEANUTS fan since I was a kid.
TNP has a favorite PEANUTS character (if so say who and why).
True, Snoopy. He’s an author, like me.
The next player has read a biography or autobiography during the past year.
True. The last several books I’ve read have been biographies.
TNP knows their next vacation destination.
True, I’m going next Tuesday.
TNP has spent a vacation at the same place more than three times - homes of relatives don’t count.
True. Been to Frankenmuth at least four times
TNP has not mailed any Christmas cards for at least the past four years
