First, I want to thank you all so much for your comments on my post yesterday about my dad. I was okay writing it. But the comments. They made me break out the buckets. And I might have short circuited my computer.
And don't forget that today is the last day to enter the week 5 of the Weekend Winners. And this week it's all about sex and chocolate! Winner will be announced tomorrow - and week 6 will launch.
This week we are back to the guest questioner...and it's Carrie from Oikology. I don't know how Carrie found me (hey, Carrie...how did you find me?)...but she commented for the first time on this post. Is it scary to you that I recall this? It's kinda scary to me. And her comment made me laugh out loud. (Okay, I MUST have the I *heart* my big ta-tas t-shirt! Off to find it and buy it! I don't care that I will never wear it in public, I just wanna say I own it!) And I had to go and read her. And stalk her. And wish that I looked that cool in blue glasses. And you must go read this post. That includes this picture/impersonation of Cher:
Was that enough ado to say "without further ado?"...
Hello there Sunshine and Lemonade readers! I'm your guest inquisitor for today! Because Kat blackmailed me, that's why!! Watch out what you say because she's not afraid to use it against you! Before you know it, you'll be doing her laundry and driving her kids places just for saying you didn't like Twilight!
Okay, I might be exaggerating just a teeny bit. But not that much... (**Ummm...she got bribed because she said she didn't like "would you rather questions." So I kindly requested that she do the questions herself. If you want to do questions - the queue is open for January!)
Since one of my very most favorite-est thing about the Holiday season is the music, I figured I'd ask you some questions based around Christmas Music!!! I listen to Christmas music 24/7 from the day after Thanksgiving all the way until I go to bed on Christmas night. I may have a problem, but as far as I know, there's no 12-step program for it yet. So until that day comes, you'll most likely see me driving around in my little Silver Bug head-boppin' with a big smile, screaming my heart out to my favorite tunes!
So here are your questions! It's "time for joy and time for cheer!"
What's your favorite Christmas Song?
Have you ever eaten figgy pudding? What other kinds of pudding other than Jell-O have you eaten?
Fill in the blank: All you want for Christmas is….
When do you start listening to Christmas Music?
What's your favorite Reindeer game and who's your favorite Reindeer?
Fill in the blank with whatever you want: You're dreaming of a ______ Christmas.
If you could change the lyrics to 12 days of Christmas, what would replace "a partridge in a pear tree?"
Do you go "Over the River and Through the Woods" for Christmas or stay at home?
Have you ever gone "a'Wassailing?"
Who is your all-time favorite singer of Christmas Music?
Did you ever catch "Mommy Kissing Santa Claus" or have your kids caught you being Santa??
What's your favorite thing to "Deck the Halls" with?
Have you ever seen "The Nutcracker" Ballet? Where??
What is your least favorite Christmas Song?
Well, that's pretty much all the Christmas music questions I can think of! "Although it's been said, many times, many ways..." the Ball & Chain, the Midget, the Wieners, and I wish you a most joyous (and music-filled) Holiday Season! Stop over and see me sometime!
Theme song: Paul McCartney - Wonderful Christmastime

July, April, December, whenever the mood strikes me
Fav reindeer - Umm, Rudolph maybe? Cause he's famous.
Dreaming of a peaceful Christmas
A Starbucks in my stocking
This year staying home, thank goodness!
Nope don't think so.
Frank Sinatra (hubby MADE me write that)
I caught my mom and dad, my kids have no clue!
Hmm, I don't really decorate actually.
Nutcracker is my favorite. We used to go every year as a kid. I even went alone at nearly 8 months preggers cause I really wanted to go (hubby dropped me off at least but refused to go inside, nice...)
Least fav song - anything classic taken to modernish sound (like rapping little drummer boy or something). Yuck. And the transiberian orchestra don't like them at all.
John Lennon....this is Christmas
Oh, to pick just one .. I like the slower ones, Silent Night, White Christmas .. and Santa Baby
No figgy pudding .. no unJello pudding, thanks :-)
My family to be healthy and happy
I don't actually own any .. except for my Hanson christmas cd .. maybe I should fix this?
Reindeer scare me ..especially when they play games.
Non-Icy, Non-Windy
"And a diamond studded cactus earring!"
We do a mixture .. stay home, and then travel for various family get-togethers. We haven't decided plans this year yet.
Does that involve being naked?
Mr. Crosby .. croony!
Nope, my parents never did the whole Santa thing. They were straight with us from the beginning. Same goes here with our kids :o)
Candy canes .. I'm all about edible decorations!
Nope .. oh wait, once. An itty bitty part of it on PBS one year.
All I Want For Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth .. that whistle makes me *cringe*!
Carrie it would totally not be lame to answer your own questions first. I try to answer mine first. If I am awake when it publishes. And if I don't forget entirely. But let's not go there.
Fav Christmas song: The one you picked for today, or the John Lennon one I had from the other day. Or "Come all Ye Faithful." In Latin - "Adeste Fidelis"
Nope. And I don't think I have had non jello varieties. I am not sure.
a family vacation
other than what's on my blog...I havent' started. Shocking, huh?
I like the letter meme. I called those my reindeer games. And I like Rudolph's girlfriend.
White. Cause it'll only happen in my dreams
uhhh...this is why I don't write song lyrics
stay home
our church goes a wassailing each year. We usually don't go because it's too cold. I love all the responses that are dirty :-)
Josh Groban

Santas. I need to blog about my mom's collection. That there is no longer room for on our mantle.
Yep. Many times. At the Fox Theatre in Atlanta.

Thanks so much Carrie!!

Winter Wonderland
No figgy pudding, but I've sampled rice, bread, and chocolate puddings.
...my two front teeth. This is a quiz right? What do I win?
I don't really. Sometimes I'll pop in my Nsync Christmas album. Yes, I really own that! But normally I only listen if it's playing in a store or on the radio.
Scrabble? Vixen. Cause it sounds naughty. I like naughty.
I'm dreaming of a FAMILY FILLED Christmas.

No more Par Rump pa pa Pums's please
Happy Holidays to all and to all a good night!
Silent Night or O Holy Night My NEW favorite is "It's Christmas Baby" by Amy Grant.
Never eaten Figgy pudding but I laugh REALLY hard when Miss Piggy thinks they're saying "Piggy pudding" and she says "Piggy Pudding!?!?!" and Scooter says "No, figgy pudding, it's made with figs." (and then under his breath he says "and bacon")
I've had a lot of plum pudding and rice pudding.
All I want for Christmas is a smile on my girls face.
August 1st.
Favorite Game - Shoots & Antlers. Favorite Reindeer? Vixen of course.
I'm dreaming of a peaceful Christmas.

Multiple times. When I was a little a store always gave away tickets and we always seemed to win. We saw it in Minneapolis and Leah Thompson (the actress), her brother played the Nutcracker. And he and Leah were the grandkids of the lady my mom worked for and she babysat them a couple times.
Anytime they take a classic christmas carol and start messing with it.. I don't like that.

4. December 1st ish
5. I got nuthin...
6. Hot - but it ain't gonna happen. I'm Canadian you know.

Officially listen to Christmas music the day after Thanksgiving.
I like Comet ... you know, have you seen The Santa Clause? That Comet.
I'm dreaming of a PEACEFUL Christmas.
... and a brand new Red Ferrari! Even though a pear tree would be cool, you can keep the partridge.
We've been over the river and through the woods for several years. Now it's my turn, and we stay home.
I make a wicked wassail!
Hmmm ... most of my Christmas CDs are from various artists. Guess I don't really have a fave.
Never caught Mommy, but all us cousins caught my aunt once. She had a hard time explaining that one.
I have this awesome garland that I made out of old Christmas cards. You'd have to see it to appreciate it.
The Nutcracker is my daughter's favorite story, but we've never seen the ballet.
Least favorite Christmas song ... it's some Beasty Boys rendition of a classic. Bad, really bad.
01) Depends on the situation. In church, my favorite is O Holy Night (although something can be said about the beauty of the Ave Maria sung in Latin). If Im streaming music on my computer then it's Mistletoe Jam by Luther Vandross although Andy William's A Song and a Christmas tree is great too!
02) ew no. Bread pudding, however...ok so that's still kinda ew too.
03) *censored as Im not sure who all is reading this!! This IS a G-rated blog right? I thiought so!*
04) The minute Santa reaches his destination in the Macy's parade.
05) *refers back to question 3* I suspect that the corresponding reindeer for *that* game would be Vixen...lol
06) WHITE!! Dammit, I aint seen a real, appreciable amount of snow since 2002.
07) A Bamboo fun by Wacom....
08) Actually it's more like over the river, up a hill and through a ticket...

10) ooh hard question. There's 2 I like...Andy WIlliams and Johnny Mathis.
11) sadly no.....dont have kids so I cant get caught.
12) mistletoe...one of these days Im going to carpet the ceiling with it!
13) not live....I do watch the Mikhail Baryshnikov version on video every year
14) I'll have to get back to you on that one....Im sure there's a couple but they're so unloved that I put them outta my mind....
Fav xmas song is What Child is This.
I've never eaten figgy pudding but I have had bread pudding. YUM.
All I want for Christmas is a happy and healthy family. And an iPhone.
I listen to Christmas music when the kids get out of school and when I'm wrapping gifts or decorating the tree.
My fav reindeer game? No clue. This confuses me!!
Fill in the blank with whatever you want: You're dreaming of a ______ Christmas.
If I could change the lyrics to 12 days of Christmas, I would replace "a partridge in a pear tree" with an "iPhone in a new purse."
We're staying at home this Christmas.
I have no idea what a wassailing means?!
I have no idea who me all-time favorite singer of Christmas Music is.
My boys still believe in Santa.
I love ornaments, shiny and glittery.
I have seen the Nutcracker Ballet in Austin many times.
I don't know my least fav xmas song.
1. Favorite Christmas song? Wow, I have so many. What Child Is This?; Let It Be Christmas; The Pretty Little Dolly; Oh Come All Ye Faithful; Mary Did You Know...
2. Ewww to anything other than Jell-O pudding.
3. A MAN!!!!!
4. The Christmas music starts the day after Thanksgiving, not one day earlier. It's against all the rules.
5. Hide and Seek, Rudolph
6. I'm dreaming of a WARM Christmas. It's too friggin' cold so far!
7. A kiss under the mistletoe.
8. I go over the river and down the road a piece. Only barren fields around here on Christmas.
9. Since I'm assuming you're talking about what we would call caroling, and not a drink similar to beer, no I've never been a-wassailing.
10. All time favorite singer? I'm a sucker for the classics: Perry Como, Johnny Mathis and Andy Williams.
11. I never caught "Mommy Kissing Santa Claus, and I have no kids nor a Santa to kiss.
12. Boughs of Holly, actually. I love hanging garland up now, when I was a kid we had green "garland" that looked real, with red velvet bows.
13. I saw it in Chicago when it was at the old Arie Crown Theatre, back in 1985 I think,
14. Grandman Got Run Over By A Reindeer. If I never hear that song again, it will be too soon.
