Festivus

            It’s that time of year again, a time when many of us give and receive gifts. Of course, I’m talking about the month of the Winter Solstice. With that in mind, I am offering up a brief questionnaire to help you through the month. I’d love to hear your responses, and I hope to put them together in next week’s blog. No need to respond to all the questions. No need, in fact, to respond to any of them – but what’s the fun in that?

·     What is the best gift you have ever received?

·     What is the best gift you have ever given?

·     Have you ever given or received a partridge in a pear tree?

·     Which would you rather receive as a gift, a thing or an event?

·     How do you feel about cash as a gift?

·     Do you have a favorite Christmas movie?

·     What Christmas song to you hope never to hear again?

·     What, if anything, makes you sad this time of year?

·     How has the Christmas season changed since you were a kid?

·     What are you planning to do to make this holiday season different this year?

·     Do you or your family have any unusual or amusing holiday traditions?

·     Who would you like to come down your chimney?

·     If you are not a Christian, what does Christmas mean to you? 

·     If you are a Christian, is your faith an important part of how you celebrate Christmas? In what way?

That’s it. Please email your responses to me at dstring@ix.netcom.com.
