I'm so glad it snowed... Makes it even more fun I bet

Whoo hoo! That is a nice gift! Enjoy your vacation and your birthday too huh! We wanna hear ALL about it!




Oh, before I forget... thought I'd post these here... I apologize if you visit Dexter or CSI and see them there too... I'm only so imaginative about questions, so I used these on those boards too....

Thought it might be fun to discuss etc And I figured we'll go with a holiday theme for this week's questions

Subject: Holiday & Gifts


1) Do you have all your shopping done?

2) What is the most annoying thing about shopping during this time of the year for you?

3) What's your favorite holiday/Christmas movie? Why?

4) Have you ever recycled (in other words, regifted) something that you have received as a gift? Did you feel guilty about it?

5) Do you give people wishlists of things you'd like to get? Do you ask people for their wishlists?

Oh, that's cute and a good idea!

I don't celebrate Christmas (or any of the holidays) but I'm looking foward to reading everyone's answers.

Great idea. Here goes

Subject: Holiday & Gifts


1) Do you have all your shopping done? No where near

2) What is the most annoying thing about shopping during this time of the year for you? There are too many people around. People lose their senses and their manners at christmas time

3) What's your favorite holiday/Christmas movie? Why? It has to be The Wizard of Oz, because it's on every year without fail!

4) Have you ever recycled (in other words, regifted) something that you have received as a gift? Did you feel guilty about it? Of course, and no I didn't really feel guilty, used the it for a secret santa present at work.

5) Do you give people wishlists of things you'd like to get? Do you ask people for their wishlists? Yes, I think it's a great idea, I always have a wish list on Amazon.

People definitely lose their general common sense around this time of the year. It's so freaking annoying.

I've even regifted a few gifts, and I didn't feel guilty at all either.

I loved your answers. Thanks for participating!

Subject: Shopping for Gifts


1) Do you have all your shopping done? Not completely.... but after a late start (for me ) I am almost done.

2) What is the most annoying thing about this time of the year for you?
Rude shoppers. That always annoys me, but especially at this time of the year.

3) What's your favorite holiday/Christmas movie? Why? I like Elf, but for this question the first one that came to mind is "A Christmas Story".... Cracks me up every time...

4) Have you ever recycled (in other words, regifted) something that you have received as a gift? Did you feel guilty about it? I have, but not very often and only with people who have no way of knowing each other. I didn't feel too guilty because a) budget b) it was still a nice gift, though it was one I just wouldn't use....

5) Do you give people wishlists of things you'd like to get? Do you ask people for their wishlists? They don't give me wishlists out of the blue... I usually ask for them, because I want to get something they'll really use and avoid the situation from question #4. I'll give them ideas for me if they ask me for some... and I actually feel more guilty about that than I would for regifting (again, Question #4).

1) Do you have all your shopping done? Not at all, so far I have only one gift and that a book for my father

2) What is the most annoying thing about this time of the year for you?
that there are so many people everywhere and that they all get crazy around this time...

3) What's your favorite holiday/Christmas movie? Why?
Love Actually, I love the movie and it always gets me in christmas mood (but I also watch it in the summer )

4) Have you ever recycled (in other words, regifted) something that you have received as a gift? Did you feel guilty about it?
well sort of I switched a gift with my sister a few years ago, my mother gave both of us bags and we liked the one from the other better so we switched.
but besides that, I can“t think of anything else.

5) Do you give people wishlists of things you'd like to get? Do you ask people for their wishlists?
I alsways ask people what they would want, so I can get them something they would like. Usually some familiy members ask me for wishlists, when I can think of something I tell them, but thats not very often the case....

Good answers, Lisi.

I haven't seen Love Actually in a very long time either.

If anyone wants to come up with some fun OT/get to know you questions, you're welcome to do so... I figured we'd do a set of 5 or so questions every week if possible...

If we have no takers, I'll try to post some tomorrow

1) Do you have all your shopping done? Pretty much, just waiting for some things to be delivered.

2) What is the most annoying thing about shopping during this time of the year for you? I don't know, queues, I guess. Done most of it online this year, though.

3) What's your favorite holiday/Christmas movie? Why? I don't know that I have one! I watched Elf the other day and that really made me laugh.

4) Have you ever recycled (in other words, regifted) something that you have received as a gift? Did you feel guilty about it? Yea. I did, it was brand new soapy stuff that I can't use 'cause of my skin.

5) Do you give people wishlists of things you'd like to get? Do you ask people for their wishlists? Yep, and I HATE writing things, I can never think of anything.

OT questions would be interesting! I can't think of any right now, though.

That's ok...

I'll make some up really quickly for this week


1. If you could go somewhere you've never been to before to celebrate Christmas/the Holidays with.... where would you go and why?


2. Are you spending less this year on gifts etc for loved ones, friends & family or about the same amount as you usually do?

3. Tell us what your favorite Christmas/Holiday tradition is and describe it?


4. Is there any kind of winter activity that you particulary enjoy (i.e. going to ski, sledding, or if you're in the southern hemisphere, swimming etc? )

5. Have you ever built a snow fort, and had a snowball fight? Did you win?

I'll answer a few of these, the non-holiday ones, LOL.

1. I've always wanted to go to Australia. That is my dream vacation.

3. Sleep. Read. Watch TV. That's what I usually do every holiday since I am off work.

4. I like playing in the snow or watching it fall while sitting in my cozy apartment. Snow is so pretty.

5. Yup, and of course, I won.

I'm pretty sure if I was to go to Australia; I wouldn't return home. Not in a million years.

1. If you could go somewhere you've never been to before to celebrate Christmas/the Holidays with.... where would you go and why? Australia, Canada or Greece. I miss Greece.

2. Are you spending less this year on gifts etc for loved ones, friends & family or about the same amount as you usually do? I don't pay; my brother does.

3. Tell us what your favorite Christmas/Holiday tradition is and describe it? Waking my brother up in the morning and it being me, him and my dog in the morning hanging out.

4. Is there any kind of winter activity that you particulary enjoy (i.e. going to ski, sledding, or if you're in the southern hemisphere, swimming etc? ) I would like snowboarding if we actually got enough snow, we just get sludge.

5. Have you ever built a snow fort, and had a snowball fight? Did you win? We don't get enough snow! But, we got a bit a few years ago and there was a snowball fight with the whole school, upper years vs. lowers vs. teachers -- it was CHAOS.
