How much do you spend on Christmas presents each year?
"Close to a thousand (dollars). I just bought an iPod for my best friend."	"It depends. I've got a girlfriend now, so probably a little more than usual."	"When I have money, probably upward of $500. (I buy) for my family and my closest friends. I love giving stuff."
Is there a good reason to see "Ocean's Twelve"?
"Definitely. 'Ocean's Eleven' was awesome."	"Yeah, I liked the first one. The second one looks pretty good. I'm planning on watching it."	"They're all hot! Older is sexier, as long as you age well."
What's your favorite Christmas song?
" 'Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.' It just popped into my head. I don't have (a favorite)."	" 'Jingle Bells.' It's cool and makes you feel good inside, but I won't be blasting it out of my car when I drive around."	" 'Let it Snow.' I love snowboarding. While I'm here I'm missing the snow!"
