Saturday: 9

Welcome to Saturday: 9. What we've committed to our readers is that we will post 9 questions every Saturday. Sometimes the post will have a theme, and at other times the questions will be totally unrelated. Those weeks we do "random questions," so-to-speak. We encourage you to visit other participants posts and leave a comment. Because we don't have any rules, it is your choice. We hate rules. We love memes, however, and here is today's meme!


SATURDAY 9: HAPPY HOLIDAYS
On Saturdays I take a break from the heavy stuff and have some fun…

 
From the archives

1. As you can see, when Sam Winters was a little girl, she loved giving her annual wish list to Santa. If you could ask Santa for anything at all, right now, what would it be?
Energy! Energy to get up and out to do things!

2. Are you currently on the Naughty or Nice list? How did you get there?
Well when you are a senior citizen it is awful hard to be either.

3. Are you traveling this Christmas? If so, are you going by car, plane or train?
You have to be more specific. On Christmas Day?… nope. Or are you traveling to be with family holiday season? Yes, the family is getting together on the 28^th down in New Jersey.

4. Did you ship any gifts to friends and family this year? If yes, which one traveled the farthest?
Nope!

5. Did you buy yourself a gift this year?
Not yet but I got my eye on a new smartphone.

6. Which do you prefer: candy canes or gingerbread?
Um… I don’t know how to put this… but you do know that I’m diabetic.

7. Close your eyes and tell us the first carol that comes to mind.
Burl Ives “Little Drummer Boy” let me put it this way, it is rather getting it out of my mind! They were playing this at the store I went to yesterday and it is stuck in my ear!!!!!

8. What's your favorite winter beverage?
Hot Chocolate.
I’m on this kick, pasteurized but non-homogenized milk, it is so much creamier than homogenized milk and it makes great hot chocolate.
 
9. Share a memory from last Christmas.
Well it is mostly adults the kids all have kids now and even those have grown up. So we just have a Yankee Swap.

Thanks so much for joining us again at Saturday: 9. As always, feel free to come back, see who has participated and comment on their posts. In fact sometimes, if you want to read & comment on everyone's responses, you might want to check back again tomorrow. But it is not a rule. We haven’t any rules here. Join us next week for another version of Saturday: 9, "Just A Silly Meme on a Saturday!"

Right now I'm up at the cottage packing up everything that has to go home for the winter, emptying out the refrigerator, and anything that will freeze.

I found an electrician and they will do the repairs over the winter and I am also having a new kitchen floor put in. I think that I'm leaving on Monday because I think that maybe, just maybe the holiday traffic will be less than today or tomorrow,
