Black Friday. I could find a store that’ll be less crazy than _anywhere_ on Christmas Eve. Mistletoe or nutmeg? ---

Nutmeg. I’m guessing mistletoe is no good in egg nog. Listen to every recorded version of “Baby, it’s cold outside” or every version of “Santa Baby”? ---

I’ll take “Santa Baby.” Real Christmas tree or artificial? ---

Real. That took about a nanosecond to decide. _Manchester by the Sea_ or _Arrival_? ---

Will see both ~But first choice would be Arrival For one week, would you rather go without…T.V. or Radio (music) ---

I could actually do without either for a week without too much difficulty. But if I have to choose… I’ll say TV, because I like watching movies so much. TV or movies? ---

I’d give up movies. We don’t go that often anyway. Harry Potter question: Would you rather have Hermione’s bag from _Deathly Hallows_ or Newt’s suitcase from _Fantastic Beasts_? ---

Hmm, I know nothing about either of them, so I will pick Hermione’s bag, hopefully she has some lip gloss or mints in there that I can use. Pay $750 to see _Hamilton_ on Broadway, with the original cast, or see a high school production of it for free. ---

You posses the invisibility cloak in the beaded bag~ I think I would enjoy the school play ~ would you rather hang out playing pool , drinking beer with`Brad Pitt or Angelina Jolie? ---

If I had to, I’d choose Pitt. But I wouldn’t like it. Spend the happy holiday totally alone, outside in the cold or in solitary confinement in a supermax prison? ---

Hillary, for whatever good she’d be able to do. I wouldn’t hire Mike Pence to clean my toilets. Go without a microwave or stove? ---

Microwaves are mostly used to heat up leftovers at Chez Cardigan so I’ll forego that first. Be featured as a buffoon character in a Hawaiian Punch tv commercial (as in you’re the guy who answers ‘sure’ to the question ‘how’d you like a nice Hawaiian Punch’?) or be the voice on a pharmaceutical commercial that lists headaches, depression, rectal bleeding and all the other awful possible side effects that can result from taking this drug? ---

Based on the level of his creative output and influence on other artists, I gotta go with Prince. Get an unused state of the art stereo circa 1984 or a framed 3’ x 4’ air photo of your home town? ---

Stereo. People will buy those things, but who wants a framed 3’ x 4’ air photo of Boston? See Chicago in concert in Boston or Boston in concert in Chicago? ---

Chicago concert in Boston, but can I wait until the weather gets better? Would you rather watch that awful “Happy Honda-days” commercial 30 times in a row, or that annoying “poor abused animals” commercial 30 times in a row? PS, I still have my 1984 stereo. ---

Can’t watch the abused animals once, so “Happy Honda’s” Would you rather surf the Ocean or ski the Alps? Just seen Boston, in California. They were fabulous!
