Have you finished all your Christmas shopping?
"Not at all. I've barely done anything, actually. I've been busy working a lot."	"No. I'm going to do it when I get back to the mainland. I got all the important ones done."	"No. Too much stuff to buy ... I've got too many friends!"
Who is the hardest person to buy for on your list?
"My mom. I never know what to get her."	"Probably my girlfriend. I want to get something important for her."	"My girlfriend. I usually give her gift certificates, but she gets mad at me because she wants something that I picked out."
What are your plans for New Year's Eve?
"I think me and my friends are going to go to that Pepper concert."	"I'm going to be up in the mountains with my family (in) North Carolina."	"I think I have to work. I'd probably go to my girlfriend's house and do fireworks. I like to stay home."
