It depends on exactly where the mistletoe was hanging...

Making a list, checking it twice... How's your holiday shopping going? Who's left on your list?
Just me; I always save the worst for last. (Now where's that anthracite? [1])

[1] That's a geology joke, because only us geology-types would think it was cool to get coal for Christmas.

Why, God, of course. The real question is "Which one?" Do I go with the burning bush [1]/tower of flame from The Ten Commandments? Or with the nose-beeping, skee-ball playing clown from Dogma? Or with the mis-placed figurehead of Jason and the Argonauts? So many options, so little time...

[1] Did you know that there is an actual bush in the region that may burst into flames spontaneously?

What's your guilty television pleasure?
Watching it. Have you seen the crap that is on nowadays [1]?
John
[1] Of course, this has always been true, even before "My Mother the Car". As Sturgeon once noted, 90% of everything is crap. (Which makes TV critics the moral equivalent of dung beetles.)

Touch screen. Naughty web videos. 'Nuff said?

What's your favorite Beatles song? Bonus points if you share it with us.
Probably the sound they make as they bore into trees. I was lucky enough to meet David Dunn once. He is a really nice guy who loves to share his science with others.

What's something you would splurge on this year to improve your future?
Presented by Intel, Sponsors of Tomorrow.
A college degree. I have often felt the need for a degree in law or divinity. (Not in medicine, though - I don't like hurting people.)

What makes you feel sexy?
Sponsored by Body by Victoria®from Victoria's Secret.
Being appreciated for my mind. My body is about average, and my face is nothing to shout about. But even if they were, there is nothing that I find more stimulating than a spirited discussion on some topic with someone who is my equal (or even better, my better).
Kinky, ain't I?
