WORDLESS WEDNESDAY & HODGE PODGE

 

Here are the questions to this week's Wednesday Hodgepodge...

I'll be taking a break from the Hodgepodge next week (12/24) because CHRISTMAS!, but will be back to ring in the New Year the week after (12/31).

1. Do you believe in miracles?

Yes! Every day is a miracle. I can find something wonderful every day. A conversation with my mother or my grandchildren keeps me believing in miracles.

2. What's a recent fad you admit to trying?

Sorry i am not really into fads. I am set in my ways and like it. My kids want me to try an e-reader however I like my books. On the cruise I saw a lot of people using them e-readers so I am thinking I should get on that bandwagon.


3. Peppermint-are you a fan? If so, what's your favorite food or beverage containing peppermint?

I have always like peppermint patties.
4. Break the ice, on thin ice, as cold as ice (emotionally, not literally)...which phrase have you run into most recently? Explain.

I am going to choose “cold as ice” because I have had a really hard time getting into the Christmas spirit however that all changed last night. The grandchildren came for dinner and Santa made a surprise visit. My “Santa Baby” Christmas tree was a huge hit. The youngest grandson danced for us. It really warmed my heart.

5. Have you ever broken or spilled something in someone else's home? Still friends?

Not that I can think of and yes I am still friends with all of my friends.


6.  'Tis the week before Christmas...are you feeling more like Buddy the Elf or the Grinch before his heart grew?

I was feeling like Grinch however I am now Buddy the Elf.


7. Share a favorite quote relating to Christmas.

I have been quoting “It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas” as we gradually get into the spirit. Decorating the house and having the grandchildren over have made a big difference.


8.  Insert your own random thought here.

I would like to thank everyone who followed my blog while I was cruising this year. I could become very boring next year as I stay home and work on being retired.

Merry Christmas Everyone!

I used to have a gorgeous Christmas cactus, but had to give it to my neighbor when we left England. I think E-readers will be around for a while, so will move past the fad stage and into the must-have stage : ) Merry Christmas to you!
My recent post On Dasher, On Dancer, On Hodgepodge...
I was feeling like grinch early on too. Thankfully I'm feeling more "centered" now and am looking forward to Christmas Eve at church - and family time next week. I love the bloom of the Christmas cacti too... it's not a rose, but it reminds me of one of my favorite hymns: "Lo, how a rose e'er
blooming... from tender stem hath sprung! It came a floweret bright, amid the cold of winter, when half-spent was the night".
People in my house, as usual, try to squash my Christmas spirit. It almost worked this year, but I caught myself and stuck my tongue out at them. LOL Hope y'all have a very Merry Christmas!
My recent post HO HO HOdgepodge

And I hope you put in a good word for me while Santa paid you a surprise visit!!!

Merry Christmas.
