1: Have you sat on Santa's lap and whispered in his ear your Christmas wishes? Never. Although SG was Santa several times at work for fundraisers and I did sit in his lap, I didn't whisper anything.
ReplyDelete2: Have you started decorating? No. On the fence this year.
3: Will you be traveling over the holidays? No
4: Should more employers close the week between Christmas and New Years? I never thought about it. When I worked for universities we always had that time off.
5: What is the strangest holiday gift you have given or received? Gave a taxidermy Canada goose.
If I had the space for it, the Goose would give me goosebumps.
Delete1. once in the Nashville airport, I sat next to Santa, but not on his lap. I whispered nothing.
ReplyDelete2. No.
3. Maybe. It's undecided. It would be between xmas and new years if we did.
4. I work in healthcare. Should we close for for a week? I bet you'll say 'no'.
5. I got a face mask (during the pandemic) of my best friends mouth area, so when I put it on, it looked like him.
I was always a little freaked out by the face masks that looked like people.
Delete1: Have you sat on Santa's lap and whispered in his ear your Christmas wishes? Sat on his lap, but never whispered; I probably didn't speak at all because I was a shy kid.
ReplyDelete2: Have you started decorating? We usually do it the weekend after Thanksgiving, but this weekend we pushed Thanksgiving back a day and then had a lot going on so we'll do it NEXT weekend.
3: Will you be traveling over the holidays? Christmas we usually stay home and keep it a 'Just us' holiday; we like it that way.
4: Should more employers close the week between Christmas and New Years? I do have that week off, but that's how my boss rolls.
5: What is the strangest holiday gift you have given or received? As a ten-year-old my Aunt Darleen sent me a toddler's pull toy. I was confused AF, but then she realized she sent my gift to the toddler. I don't think I ever got the gift she meant for me.
And a few decades later, you still remember that unusual gift. She inadvertently gave you the gift of a childhood memory.
Delete1. Santa's REAL?
ReplyDelete2. I don't decorate a lot, but I put nothing up until Dec 1st. That's when I haul out the Christmas music CDs too.

5: What is the strangest holiday gift you have given or received? My dead beat (now dec'd) father once got me a subscription to "Games Magazine", which was the coolest gift he ever got me...until I got the "hope you enjoyed your 3 free issue sample" notice, asking me to subscribe. Jeffrey once got a pair of socks that said "Pee on me." (That is not a fetish he has, so not sure why he got them.)
