Some Questions someone asked Benj:


Benji: Good Charlotte

Favorite holiday gift?

I always like getting cologne. You cant really shower that much on tour. I like getting gift certificates, too. I think they rule.



Favorite holiday songs?

I love all the classic Christmas songs, like when Frank Sinatra sings em. I love Christmas music, dude. When it gets to be around Christmas time I play so much Christmas music it drives everyone crazy, especially if were on the bus.



What do you look forward to most about the holidays?

Every year, no matter where we are, we always go home on Christmas Eve. Because my dad left on Christmas Eve, it was really weird for awhile. But for the last two Christmases it sorta got normal and good again. We go to midnight mass with one of my best friends that I grew up with, him and his family and me and my mom and my brothers and my sister, all together. Its awesome.


Christmas tree: real or fake?

Preferably real,cause it smells good. But it doesnt matter, just as long as youve got one.

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer or Frosty the Snowman?

Frosty. I like that one cartoon that was on every year.
