Year End HodgePodge

Welcome back to Sunday Stealing which originated on the WTIT Blog with Bud Weiser. Here we will steal all types of questions from every corner of the blogosphere. Our promise to you is that we will work hard to find the most interesting and intelligent questions. You may have heard the expression, “honor among thieves”. In that age-old tradition, we try to credit the blog that we stole it from, if possible. We also provide a link to the victim's questions in our "Previous Victims" widget. (It's our way of saying "Thanks!") Sometimes we edit the original meme, to make it more relevant to our global players, to challenge our players, to select the best questions, or simply to make it less repetitive from recently asked questions from a previously post. Cheers to all of us thieves!

 


People are still busy so this is a short one, stolen from Joyce of "From This Side of the Pond."

1. Where have you found unexpected magic or delight this holiday season?

2. What's your favorite type of holiday gathering? Will you/have you gathered in your favorite way this month?

3. Time has named 'The Silence Breakers' (women who came forward with stories of harassment)  'person of the year' for 2017. Would you agree? If not, who do you think deserves the title?

4. How did you spend your time this year? Are you happy about that? Elaborate

5. Bid farewell to 2017 in ten words or less.

6. Insert your own random thought here.

Last week we talked about things that bug us.  This week (and maybe next), how about things that we like about the holidays.  

Apologies if you do not celebrate Christmas, but perhaps you can change some questions to match the winter holiday you do celebrate.  I would love to hear from people who celebrate Hanukkah, Kwanza, or Winter Solstice!





1. What’s your favorite thing about the holidays?

2. Do you send out Christmas cards and if so how many do you send?

3. Be honest: holiday newsletters. Love ‘em or hate ‘em?

4. Be honest: photo cards. Love ‘em or hate ‘em?

5. How soon do you start shopping?

6. Real or fake tree?

7. When do you put up your tree?

8. When do you take down your tree?

9. Describe your typical tree (size, decorations, type)

10. What do you top your tree with?


11. Do you put Christmas lights outside your house?

12. Is there a wreath hanging on your door?

13. Do you hang up stockings?

14. Your favorite Christmas Movie(s)

15. Be honest: A Christmas movie you don't like

16. Favorite Christmas Song(s)

17. Be honest: If I hear this/these Christmas songs again I will throw up

18. Give or Receive?

19. Eggnog or Mulled Cider?

20. Ham or Turkey?
