For Those Who Celebrate Christmas
What’s your favorite thing about the holidays? The prevailing feeling of goodwill.
Do you send out Christmas cards and if so how many do you send? I
sent about 25 cards this year, purchased from The Shops at
Colonial Williamsburg. I know tourism is down this year, and I wanted to
do something to support the historic sights, like the Peyton Randolph House.
Be honest: holiday newsletters. Love ‘em or hate ‘em? Eh. They're fine. I have no passionate feelings one way or the other.
Be honest: photo cards. Love ‘em or hate ‘em? Love 'em.
How soon do you start shopping? I shop all year around.
Real or fake tree? Fake
When do you put up your tree? Not putting it up this year. I'm still recovering from covid and I just don't have it in me to decorate right now.
When do you take down your tree? N/A
Describe your typical tree (size, decorations, type) About 4' high
What do you top your tree with? I have a kitty angel
Do you put Christmas lights outside your house? No
Is there a wreath hanging on your door? No. This year I hung a little Rudolph ornament on my door.
Do you hang up stockings? No.
Your favorite Christmas Movie(s) Elf, It's a Wonderful Life, many versions of A Christmas Carol
Be honest: A Christmas movie you hate White Christmas. I don't know why, but it annoys me.
Favorite Christmas Song(s) Andy! 50 weeks/year, I give him no thought whatsover. But at Christmastime, I must have Andy.
Be honest: If I hear this/these Christmas songs again I will throw up Bing Crosby/White Christmas. I have no issue with Bing, but there's an interlude in the middle that sounds like chirping birds and Dear Lord, it gets on my nerves.
Give or Receive? I enjoy them both!
Eggnog or Mulled Cider? Cider
Ham or Turkey? I enjoy them both!
Andy Williams is synonymous with Christmas music to me, too.
ReplyDeleteI like Andy Williams too. I am sorry Covid messed you up. The flu I had stopped me for a couple of weeks. Was almost wishing I could have had it and recovered. But I have to be careful and will be wearing a mask on Christmas day when the grands are over.
ReplyDeleteFunny to read. Glad you are recovering. I hope you have a good holiday season!
ReplyDeleteOJM
I feel the same way about the movie White Christmas.
ReplyDeleteAndy had a theater here in Branson, MO for many years. I never did get to go see him though. His music is beautiful. Loved your answers! Have a very Merry Christmas! I hope you feel 100% soon.

Yes, Andy at Christmas always! Sorry you don't like "White Christmas" -- it's one of my favorite movies, but mainly because of the dancing. Hope your recovery goes well and you're over all the Covid effects soon.
ReplyDeleteThat Andy Williams song gets in my head and then I make up words to it because I can't remember them. I like most Christmas songs so long as they aren't played over and over.
ReplyDeleteColonial Williamsburg is one my favorite places. I went to high school just east of there, and actually lived in Williamsburg at one point. Mom and I spent many happy hours just wandering about. Christmas in Colonial Williamsburg is so magical....
ReplyDeleteMerry Merry! You should hate Bing too. A horrific man.. Oh and "Happy Xmas (War is Over" beats Andy Williams! ;)
ReplyDeleteI'll have to watch that Andy Williams show. I love the guy.
ReplyDeleteWe will buy Elf so we can watch it. I'm told that its a very Cute movie. Now you have put your stamp of approval on it. :o)
White Christmas seems chaotic to me. I just don't like it.
Sorry you've been so sick. This stuff is a kick in the head.
I love elf as well, It's a Wonderful Life is my all time favorite I hope you feel better soon
