Milking the Wednesday Hodgepodge

 

Joyce asks the questions, and we provide the answers. See how others answered at From This Side of the Pond.

1. What's one task you'd like a little Christmas elf to sneak in and take care of tonite? 

The Christmas Tree. 

2. What's your biggest challenge during the holidays? 

This year, it's just being motivated. 

3. Are you a cookie baker this time of year? If your year had to be summed up in the shape of a cookie cutter what shape would it be? 

I'm not so much a cookie baker as a candy maker. The cookie-cutter shape would be a tree because through the storms and sun, I've continued to live life this year (and had fun-most of the time).

4. Santa likes milk with his cookies. Do you like milk? What kind of milk is on tap in your house? (whole, 2%, skim, almond, oat, etc). What's the last thing you made that called for milk? 

I love milk. I used to only use skim milk, but isn't whole just so much better? I made oatmeal yesterday morning using milk.

5. Share one favorite line from a Christmas carol or holiday tune? 

May your days be merry & bright.

6. Insert your own random thought here. 

I took a big step yesterday: it was the first time I went to the movies by myself. Really, when you think about it, it's not that big of a deal. I mean, you sit in a dark theater and don't talk during the movie, so what's the big deal? Well, it's not a big deal at all.

Bonhoeffer: Pastor, Spy, Assassin was incredible. If you haven't seen it, I would highly recommend it. Especially if you're as obsessed with WWII as I am. You know how it's going to end, but you're still riveted to the screen, hanging on every word. There were a couple of things that really hit home: The crucifixes being taken down, the statues being destroyed. The people being taken in by Hitler and thinking they could just vote him out in the next election. It's definitely something to think about.
