Drive-by book commentary

On the drive home today I finished The Lost Hero and started The Son of Neptune. (Audiobooks: I'm not reading while driving.) I don't know if it's just that Rick Riordan's writing skills have improved a lot, or the mythology of the series took 5+ books to grab me, or the change from first to third person, or a little of all three, but I've enjoyed these books much more than the original PJ&tO series. Certainly every time anyone...( Is this spoilery? )

...I go "aww" and want to give someone a hug.

1. Egg Nog or Hot Chocolate?

Hot chocolate, although I'll enjoy a little spiked 'nog now and then.

2. Does Santa wrap presents or just sit them under the tree?

Santa does not wrap presents, he leaves them under the tree. Family wraps presents for each other.

3. Colored lights on tree/house or white?

Colored for sure. White lights are BORING. (Check out my lj layout... colored lights FTW!)

4. Do you hang mistletoe?

No, not with pets around.
