Holiday

Happy weekend friends .
The wind is seriously wild here today and it will continue into the night, but I have a pot of bean  chili made with some chipotle powder, and some nice sour cream to top it off so the sounds of the wild wind howling through the cedars and pines will be welcome and make things very cozy indeed.

 Welcome to Saturday: 9. What we've committed to our readers is that we will post 9 questions every Saturday. Sometimes the post will have a theme, and at other times the questions will be totally unrelated. Those weeks we do "random questions," so-to-speak. We encourage you to visit other participants posts and leave a comment. Because we don't have any rules, it is your choice. We hate rules. We love memes, however, and here is today's meme!

 From the archives

1. As you can see, when Sam Winters was a little girl, she loved giving her annual wish list to Santa. If you could ask Santa for anything at all, right now, what would it be?

An end to the nonsense in the world.  Another Purim in Australia would be nice. . Good luck with that, I know.  I would ask him to not allow the Kennedy Center name to be changed.    
2. Are you currently on the Naughty or Nice list? How did you get there?   We say that to be nice to the evil is to be evil to the nice.  I hope I am on the nice list but let me never tolerate evil.


3. Are you traveling this Christmas? If so, are you going by car, plane or train?
I am staying home, no travelling hopefully.

4. Did you ship any gifts to friends and family this year? If yes, which one traveled the farthest?
Nothing is being shipped out this year.

5. Did you buy yourself a gift this year?  No, but thinking about it.  

6. Which do you prefer: candy canes or gingerbread?  I like Gingerbread.    I like it as long as the cake isn't dry but is nice and moist and served with tons of whipped cream and a hot cup of tea.
However, I don't eat sugar and carbs so.. not having any cakes or candy at all.   The best gingerbread mix was by Jiffy but it's discontinued.   Most other gingerbreads are way too spicey. I've yet to have one
 I liked at all and I am no fan of gingerbread cookies.
7. Can you see any holiday decorations from where you're sitting now?
Yes. I see menorahs in windows on some houses and lights on others, trees in front windows.

8. What's your favorite winter beverage?  Hot tea!  It goes with everything. I used to like hot chocolate with tons of marshmallow but can't have it anymore.

9. Share a memory from last Christmas.  For me, holidays are always about the people involved and the things we do together.
