My answers:
1: Are you planning anything special for the end of the year holidays? Quiet time with my sweet bear, here in our comfy nest.
2: Are you traveling anyplace for the end of the year holidays? Thankfully, no. For years, family obligations turned the holidays into travel days. It is relaxing to stay home. If my siblings want to join us for the holidays, I will be glad to cook. US Highway 1 runs in both directions, from near my brother's front door, and our front gate.
3: Is your gift shopping finished? By the time this posts, Yes.
4: Who will be cooking for your end of the year holidays? I will. The plan is roast beef and Yorkshires for Christmas, and probably ham for New Year's.
5: Have you thought about your goals for 2026? I have a couple of ideas floating around, it is time for me to start putting things on the screen. Near the end of the year, my results from 2025 and goals for 2026 will be a post.
Please share your answers in the comments.
1: Are you planning anything special for the end of the year holidays? Nothing other than Lessons and Carols services and Christmas services
ReplyDelete2: Are you traveling anyplace for the end of the year holidays? Nope. Was able to give that up once Mom died.
3: Is your gift shopping finished? Nope. Still a few odds and ends. Mostly local merchants.
4: Who will be cooking for your end of the year holidays? Me if there is any cooking (partner gave up cooking some time during the Clinton Administration).
5: Have you thought about your goals for 2026? Got to set up and implement a plan for decluttering and downsizing (or rather right-sizing)..

Holidays get less stressful as life moves forward.
Delete1. No holidays planned.
ReplyDelete2. Boxing Day, the day after Christmas I will travel for an hour for a family Christmas Day celebration.
3. I am not buying anything for anyone, aside from myself, which I've already bought, and some cash for the great nieces and nephews.
4. My ex sister in law on Boxing Day, but the whole family will contribute.
5. Goal for 2026, find the 6 key on the keyboard as I kept hitting the 5 key when typing 2026. Otherwise, survive and live well.
Great goal setting.

ReplyDelete1: Are you planning anything special for the end of the year holidays? Yes - a Christmas feast and sharing of Christmas gifts with my family.
ReplyDelete2: Are you traveling anyplace for the end of the year holidays? Probably going to pick our son up from London and stay in a hotel at Woburn, Buckinghamshire the night before that.
3: Is your gift shopping finished? Nope. I just placed an online order this evening and have still got one or two more things to get including a small hamster-sized Christmas jumper with "I HATE CATS" on the front.
4: Who will be cooking for your end of the year holidays? My son-in-law will take care of Christmas Day but I will probably prepare a New Year's Day feast.
5: Have you thought about your goals for 2026? Nope - because I do not play football (American: soccer).
That is a tiny jumper, cats find hamsters delicious.
DeleteSo do penguins...apparently!
DeleteAwww! You're SO thoughtful! I haven't yet discovered what puddings like for gifts... Spoons perhaps?
DeletePatience above I haven't done anything yet! After I read blogs I go into the garage and haul out the holly.
