Some people start making or buying Christmas presents in January and by October they're all wrapped and ready to go. Others hit the shops on Christmas Eve, frantically buying presents for everyone. Which are you? Tell us about the best Christmas present you ever gave anyone.

Neither. I don't celebrate Christmas and I don't purchase Christmas presents. I'm not sure when I stopped celebrating Christmas, but I think it was the year I gave away the Christmas Tree. My family knows I don't celebrate Christmas or Hanukkah so they don't expect me to purchase presents for them or send cards. I celebrate Ayyám-i-Há (The Days of Há) which occurs at the end of February and the beginning of March.

Emily Bronte wrote "Wuthering Heights." After Emily died, her sister Charlotte rewrote this novel. Would you like someone rewriting your novels after you have passed on? Just curious.

When I die bury me
beneath the cold earth
or in a granite mausoleum.

If you want to rewrite my fiction
go right ahead,
I'm not going to haunt you.
