Please share your answers in the comments.
Is your Christmas shopping finished? Been done. Only had three gifts to get.
ReplyDeleteAre you planning anything special for Christmas Dinner? Much the same as yours, Roast Beef with Yorkshire Pudding, red potatoes and sprouts. Christmas Eve is usually Crab Imperial.
Thinking back to childhood, what gifts stand out in your memory? My first puppy.
Will you be traveling over the holidays? Nope. I never travel for Christmas.
What would you like Santa to bring you for Christmas? I'll be fine with a bottle of gin, a South American and continued health.
What's going on with your header? There are ads in it!! Blogger must be going bonkers.
What size south American?
Delete1. No. All I need to do is stuff some money into envelopes.
ReplyDelete2. I will enjoy Christmas dinner, but it won't be cooked by me.
3. A Scalextric electric model car track system, set up by my father and uncle on Christmas Eve as we slept.
4. Yes, quite a bit more than I am used to, but I won't be driving with my car all the time.
5. I am not expecting anything for Christmas aside from some comforting words for my first Christmas on my own.
Be good to yourself and take time,
Delete1: Is your Christmas shopping finished? Never even started. Yay!
ReplyDelete2: Are you planning anything special for Christmas Dinner? Not at this point.
3: Thinking back to childhood, what gifts stand out in your memory? The ham radio kit when what I wanted was a chemistry set. My father wanted the ham radio kit.
4: Will you be traveling over the holidays? Probably not.
5: What would you like santa to bring you for Christmas? A second working toilet.
Where can we find a working Spanish plumber with a chemistry set?
DeleteAt least I can buy my own frickin’ chemistry set now. Can‘t seem to buy my own plumber.
Delete1: Is your Christmas shopping finished? Carlos has decreed that there will be no Christmas presents this year as he has other plans for us; I am in the dark as to what they arem, but will also get a few things for him to use in the kitchen with his vision issues.
ReplyDelete2: Are you planning anything special for Christmas Dinner? A delicious meal of Pork Tenderloin with cherries, mash potatoes and a delicious veg as well as one of Carlos' desserts and cocktails! Lowkey and peace filled.
3: Thinking back to childhood, what gifts stand out in your memory? My father used to make a game out of finding the "Santa' gifts by making us search for them via a poem Santa left; my favorite was the year I got a ten-speed bicycle an the poem had me running around house and yard before finding the Schwinn!
4: Will you be traveling over the holidays? Not all all; close to home, not even day trips, or so I've been told.
5: What would you like santa to bring you for Christmas? I ask for it every year and, sadly, am still waiting: Peace on Earth.
My first schwinn is in the storage room.
Delete1. Yes
ReplyDelete2. I will have 16 people here and so might do a taco Christmas.
3. Blue Schwinn bike when I was 10 years old. It's down in my basement now but I haven't ridden it for awhile. Bad brakes and afraid of falling.
4. No
5. I really have everything I need.
My bike was a birthday present, Schwinn was on strike that summer, and red came into stock first, so mine is red.
Delete1: Is your Christmas shopping finished? Nearly. I need to buy some chocolates and to order a couple of things for my nurse/wife.
ReplyDelete2: Are you planning anything special for Christmas dinner? It will be at our daughter's house. There will be nine of us - including the little granddaughters and our one year old grandson. In effect there will be two dinners - vegan and a traditional turkey one.
3: Thinking back to childhood, what gifts stand out in your memory? My "Private PK" - a large plastic toilet bag in which I kept my important stuff - pens, diary, notebook etc.. It helped me to perform my important duties.
4: Will you be traveling over the holidays? Nope. Staying put as our son is coming up here with Sarah and Zachary.
5: What would you like Santa to bring you for Christmas? Peace for the beleaguered people of Gaza. A great new beginning for the beleaguered people of Syria. A lasting and acceptable end to the war in Ukraine. I was also going to suggest the assassination of some key political figures including an infamous American one but that's not really Christmassy is it?
Sounds like a delightful family Christmas. Peace on earth is something we should all wish for. Regarding politics, this too shall pass.
Delete1: Is your Christmas shopping finished? Mostly, just a few things left.
ReplyDelete2: Are you planning anything special for Christmas Dinner? I'm dining with friends but I wouldn't mind dinner at your house. Sounds delicious.
3: Thinking back to childhood, what gifts stand out in your memory? A bike one year stands out as does a chemistry set.
4: Will you be traveling over the holidays? Not before Christmas but I might do an overnight trip to Tucson after.
5: What would you like santa to bring you for Christmas? That million dollars you mentioned would come in handy.
Let me know when you will be here for dinner,

ReplyDelete2. We will have dinner with my sister on the 24th; and as always, chinese with my cousin on the 25th.
3. Equipment for my darkroom.
4. Nope.
5. A working hip.
I had a darkroom - parted with the last of the equipment when we sold the second house.
Delete1. Since we no longer gift, the shopping started and ended long ago.
ReplyDelete2. Leftovers (frozen now) from Thanksgiving.
3. A magic set that launched me on my career as The Great Taylor.
4. Nope.
5. I know my wife would like a re-run of the November elections. But I don't even Santa Claus could deliver on that. I'd be happy with Whirled Peas.
I left out a word. I meant "I don't *think* even Santa . . ."
