Wednesday Hodgepodge

From this Side of the Pond

1. What's the best $5 gift to give someone? 

On goodness!  This is hard to answer!!!  Maybe a small make-up bag (not a fancy one) stuffed with a small tube of chapstick or small hand lotion.  This might be a little over $5.00.

2. What's your favorite way to relax/unwind during the busy holiday season? 

My favorite way to relax/unwind is to sit by the fire with a good book and a glass of wine.

3. How do you feel about gingerbread? Love  tube it or no thanks? Are gingerbread houses a part of your holiday tradition? If you said yes, how does that look? Do you like ginger flavor in other kinds of dishes? 

Not a fan of gingerbread at all nor do I like ginger flavor in other dishes.  

I usually purchase the grandsons a gingerbread house kit and they with their Mama build it.

4. December 5th is National Blue Jeans Day...will you be celebrating? Do you have a favorite brand? A favorite pair? Do you have a hard time parting with a favorite pair of jeans? Blue jeans-joggers-leggings-yoga pants...which one do you wear most often? 

Definitely be wearing blue jeans on December 5th.  We have dress-up days at school.  My favorite brands are Kancan Jeans or Judy Blue Jeans.  I really don't have a hard time parting with a favorite pair.

I wear leggings a lot to school.  I make sure my tops are nice and covers my bottom!!  Personally, I prefer leggings to jeans especially the butter-soft leggings.

5. As we head into this holiday season what's your biggest priority or goal for the end of the year? 

Positive self-talk and to wake up being grateful.

6. Insert your own random thought here. 

I am answering the questions, on Tuesday evening.  We were closed due to snow and the bitter cold.  Just last week the temps were very mild and now snowy and temps in the teens.  GEEZ!!  This woke me up!!

Hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving.  My church packs and delivers meals on Thanksgiving Day.  This is something we have been doing for at least 20+ years.  My son-in-law and I delivered 106 meals and that is not counting the other people who were there to deliver.  The number keeps raising every year, but I am so thankful we can still do this.
