Today, Patrice showed us her beautiful Christmas tree in the living-room and showed us some of her cherished ornaments.
Here are her questions.
1. Please tell us your favorite Christmas tradition.
I have many Christmas traditions but the one I like the best is relaxing on Boxing Day working on a puzzle with my family. We work on it into the wee hours of the morning and have so much fun and when it's almost finished and it's getting difficult to place those dark pieces, we are allowed to take a sip of wine only when we place a piece in. Sometimes someone gets lucky and place several pieces in a row and there's lot of laughter.
2. Are you ready for Christmas?
Well I'm almost ready but still have some more shopping to do as I don't have much time to shop and I don't shop at night. I always have to come home to feed the calves.
3. Tell me what you would talk about if you were sitting in the living-room with me?
I would like to sit on Patrice's couch with Patrice and all her other guests and get to know everyone better, I would love to take a walk to the farm and see Wendall and the other farm critters. I would like to taste some of her Christmas baking.
This was a lot of fun Patrice and thanks for the invitation..
Thanks for visiting my blog and and I hope that you will come by again. You know how much I love receiving your comments.
MERRY CHRISTMAS everyone. Stay safe and warm. JB

It would be nice wouldn't it to sit and visit with everyone and get caught up on what has been going on in everyone's life.
ReplyDeleteI liked your answers today. I like the idea of your Boxing day puzzle that sounds like so much fun.
When I get home... I would love to join in the chats... I looked at her blog the other time you posted about her. I was too curious about who she is...
ReplyDeleteWhat fun!
I'm on the road again ;) but not to places where I've never been... sigh
We go to our daughter Sue's every other year for Christmas and we are headed that way early this Thursday morning. Our tradition there is to have a great Christmas Eve by first listening to Sue's new Christmas Story (she writes a new one every year, and beleive me, this girl can really write and she is a published author, many times over) After the story we have "circle time". Yes, we are all sitting in a circle and Sue asks us all a very special question that we must all answer one by one around the circle. She asks the question sometimes taken from her story and it is a very spiritual time and quite personal. It can be a very emothional time, but it is my most favorite thing about Christmas. After that we have nachos made by my son in law and Chicken Enchiladas made by my granddaughter in law. Yum.. they are both so good. Christmas Day we bake a turkey and a ham and have sandwiches (no huge dinner for anyone to prepare) on my homemake oatmeal bread. Needless to say, a fun time is had by all.
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed your answers to the three questions. Love, Darlene
Congrats! It sounds so nice.
ReplyDeleteI would be sitting in front of the fire too!
I hope you enjoy this precious week.
Hugs.
What a nice interview, now I'm going to visit Patrice's blog.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas Julia
I remember Christmas being the only time when my Dad would set up a big jigsaw puzzle and we would all work on it over the holidays. Being kids we didn't get any wine. Enjoy your warm and cozy- sounding Boxing Day.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a wonderful time of year! I wish for you and your family the best and moist blessed of Christmas's and health and hapiness in the new year.
