Christmas Quiz

Okay, I had gotten this in my email box a while back, but never thought of adding it to my blog. While visiting Blessed with Grace, I found this quiz that Lisa's twin sister Lana had posted. So all you have to do is copy and paste into your blog and answer the questions there. Leave me a comment so I'll know to check yours out.

Favorite Christmas songs? My all time favorite I think will never change. "Silent Night." This song holds so many memories and love. My grandmother and aunt would sing this song in and harmonize. They sang it beautifully. I still tear up to this day when I hear this song. Can't wait to hear them sing it again. I also have a deeper love for "I'll Be Home For Christmas after reading Lisa's reason for it being her favorite.

Travel at Christmas or stay home? This actually all depends on the weather. We try to spend time with my parents and sister and her family. We also stay home and celebrate with our kids and grandkids.

Can you name all of Santa's reindeer's? Amazingly so with even with my memory getting so bad. Now you know Dasher, & Dancer, & Prancer & Vixon; Cupid & Comet & Donner & Blitzen; but do you recall, the most famous rheindeer of all? Rudolph! As I said in previous posts, I'm still just a kid at heart.

Angel on the tree top or a star? Angel

Christmas day with the rest of the family.

Favorite ornament theme or color? Ours has always been a hodge podge tree. There is no set color or scheme. It's just a collection of things we have found over the years.

What do you want for Christmas this year? A happy healthy family all together. For peace to come about in Iraq and Afghanistan so the troops can safely return home. For world hunger, and abuse to be put to an end. To continue growing in the Lord. And for all my new found friends to have peace, happiness, good health, and a continued growing friendship.

Person most likely to respond to this? Hee hee, I haven't a clue.

Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!
