1. Do you drive through your neighborhood to look at other people's holiday decorations? Whenever some one picks me up to go somewhere we always pass many decorated homes and some are spectacular and like a little kid my eyes open wide and the word "WOW" comes out of my mouth.. 😮
2. Are you counting the days to Christmas with excited anticipation or dread? This year i'm excited because I'm hosting Christmas day dinner for 7. It's the first time in years and at my age I know it will be exhausting but a happy kind of exhaustion.
3. When was the last time you had a photo taken with Santa? I have never taken a photo with Santa. The only time was when me, my ex father-in-law (who came so we wouldn't be alone) my daughter along with my sister Phyllis' son took the subway from the Bronx to Manhattan's New York Times building to see the perfect Santa. The children were 4yrs. or 5yrs. at the time. If I'm not mistaken that was the same Santa used in the Macy's Day Parade at the time. It was fun and the kids had a ball. We even took them to see the many decorated store fronts.
4. Do you make a Christmas list for your family or friends? No, I bought what I thought they would enjoy. Now that it's gotten so expensive I don't exchange gifts anymore. Only when I'm invited and there are children then I will buy a little something for each child.

We enjoy riding in the neighborhood, looking at decorations. I count the days to Christmas with anticipation as my whole family comes for breakfast on Christmas Eve morning. Cant remember the last time I had a picture with Santa...must have been 70+ years ago!
ReplyDeleteThat was very kind and thoughtful of your ex-father in law!
ReplyDeleteHe was a good man and passed away in the early 90's when I was still married to my ex.

I enjoyed reading your answer to #3, what a great time that must have been. When I was younger I often thought about visiting NYC, something that never happened for me.
