Saturday 9: Happy Holidays! (from the archives)


1. As you can see, Sam loved giving her annual wish list to Santa. Yet some children are reluctant to climb into Jolly Old St. Nick's lap. Did you enjoy the tradition or were you shy? Or did you by pass it altogether -- either because you wrote him a letter or because your family didn't celebrate Christmas?

   A. I was shy as a child, but I never remember being afraid of Santa. I am sure I gave him a list. 

 2. Are you currently on the Naughty or Nice list? How did you get there?

   A. I hope I am on the Nice list!

 3. Did you ship any gifts to friends and family this year? If so, which one traveled the farthest?

   A. I shipped a gift exchange gift to a friend in Idaho. I also shipped some stuff to a friend in Pennsylvania and Texas. 

 4. Did you buy yourself a gift this year? 

   A. I made a list on Amazon of things that I wanted and told my husband to order them for me. I actually do all of the ordering so in a way I did.

 5. What's your favorite holiday-themed movie? Have you seen it yet this year?

   A. I love many Christmas movies! Christmas Vacation is one that I must watch every year. 

 6. Thinking of movies, Christmas is lucrative for Hollywood. Have you ever gone to a movie theater on Christmas Day?

   A. No, I would not spend the day at the theatre because I spend it with family at home. 

 7. Have you ever suffered an embarrassing moment at the company Christmas party? 

   A. No, I can't say that I have!

 8. What's your favorite beverage in cold weather?

   A. Hot tea, coffee, cocoa

 9. Share a memory from last Christmas.

   A. Watching my grand doll open her gifts and flying through the pile in record speed.

I read this as part of a challenge to read classical books and this month was to reread a classic.

I decided to start with the first book in the series and I will read the entire series again this month as long as time allows. The Boxcar Children is about a group of 4 orphans that are siblings.

 Good Monday morning ladies, how are you? It is super cold here, but I am thankful for our wood stove and plenty of good heat. I am joining Sandra over at  Diary of a Stay At Home Mom  for the Happy Homemaker Monday link up party. She is so kind to host this weekly and there are many of us bloggers that enjoy this weekly post.  The Weather: Cold, snowy, below zero wind chills and temperatures of a night. I believe our high for the day is to be 7 degrees F. BRR!!!!!! I hate winter when it is like this. I don't mind cold, but I don't like Artic cold. I am not a fan of the ice that occurs when we have temperatures like this.  Right Now, I Am: Sitting at my desk drinking coffee. As I look out the window, I see a bit of snow and maybe a bit of a sunrise. It is about -18 degrees with the windchill and so it looks cold! I am listening to the news that my husband left on when he went out. It is not something I care to do, but I just haven't gotten up yet, to change...
