I thought our sexual harassment training was ridiculous, Gud, but yours is better.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I consider making me read work-sanctioned materials with the phrase "erect penis" in them a situation I'm uncomfortable with. Ew. Icky. Thank dog I don't have a co-worker named Stan.

You don't obsessively check my Facebook?
I'm excited.
Yesssss.

Um... well, that wasn't an actual example though most of the questions were about as difficult to answer.

Okay, here's my Friday morning conversation starter.
What's your favorite Christmas smell?
and...
What's your least favorite Christmas scent?
First for me would be standing at the top of the stairs on Christmas morning in my footie pajamas when I was four and smelling bacon and coffee and seeing presents under the tree.
Least: I've always disliked scented xmas candles, but I have an even worse association with last-minute mall shopping and getting a face full of Mrs. Fields cookies - normally a delicious smell - but somehow with the shopping shove-and-stress the vanilla seemed kind of gagging and noxious. Cinnabon also falls in that camp.
Bonus Good Smell: Coming home from college and walking into an open-house Christmas party and getting a whiff of their amazing Christmas ham on the buffet table. That was the best ham I ever had.

What's your favorite Christmas smell?
Christmas tree smell. Every year. For use it's usually a balsam fir. Sometimes, in years back it was a white spruce.
Also the smell of cloves reminds me of Christmas season particularly, and clove-flavoured hard candies we would have at Xmas.
What's your least favorite Christmas scent?
Smell of vegetables boiling on the stove. It's not just the smell, but the steamy, close feeling in the kitchen when all burner's are go, and my mom is stressing out.
This year, it's going to be me stressing over all those boiling pots!

Good article, but dang, I am too tired today to even wade into the comments.

Nice! I've never had clove candy. Is that a Canadian thing? It sounds like the sort of thing Ple would eat. Or object to strenuously but she'd have an opinion, by gum.
