The Guy Behind the Blog – December 2015 Edition


Can you believe this is the last Guys Behind the Blog of the year? I can’t believe how fast 2015 has flown by! I hope you’ve enjoyed getting to know more about Errik in this fun series. I don’t mind sharing my space here with him once a month. Don’t worry, I won’t let him completely take over!

Guy Behind the Blog Dec 2015

With Christmas just around the corner, let’s see what Errik shares with us about this wonderful holiday!

What is on your Christmas list?

You always tell me I work in disc golf in every one of these, so here it is. I would like an Innova Boss disc in their blizzard plastic.  A list has more than one thing so… power tools would be nice. A good drill and impact driver set would be cool. 

Did you believe in Santa as a child? Do you have any funny Santa stories?

What do you mean as a child? There is no SANTA???  My stocking still gets filled every year!! I don’t really have any funny Santa stories. I don’t remember when I found out about Santa so it must not have been too detrimental.  

What is a Christmas tradition you hope to pass on someday?

We always got to watch How the Grinch Stole Christmas.  Partly because my dad loves Dr. Seuss and because it’s a great movie… or show.. cartoon?  It’s just awesome.   I love that dog Max, seeing him so happy jumping on the sleigh for a ride down to Whoville.  How old is the Grinch anyway?

Do you open presents on Christmas morning or a different time?

Christmas DAy. It was Christmas day for us growing up, too.  We would do Christmas with our Aunts, Uncles, and cousins at different times. We would exchange gifts at Thanksgiving when the whole family could get together. 

What is your favorite Christmas song? Movie?

My new favorite is called Hey Moon by the Sidewalk Prophets.  Most excellent of songs.  I like all the hymns during the Christmas season.  The Drummer Boy song is good.  ♪♫♫Christmas is coming the geese are getting FAT! Please put a penny in the old mans HAT!♪♫♪    Movie? The Grinch is 53. 

Wow…I better run to the store now that I know what’s on his list! I will say that my favorite movie to watch each year is How the Grinch Stole Christmas, but my favorite song is O Holy Night. Tell us, what is your favorite Christmas movie? How about favorite song? Share it with us by leaving a comment below!

    I love this series!!! My favorite movies to watch are Jingle All the Way (because it’s hilariously cheesy) and Polar Express. And my favorite Christmas song is all-of-the-Amy-Grant-Christmas-albums and also every song on the SheDaisy Christmas album. Nostalgia.
