Today's Question(s): Where are you traveling this holiday season - Christmas, New Year's or Thanksgiving - or are you staying put? We're staying right here and avoiding the roads, airports and malls. There isn't anything worth mixing it up with all the others when I can relax at home and avoid the crowds.
What's something you only use during the holidays? My memory of past holidays and being with friends & family. After getting older it's nice to have great memories.
Large or small, good or not so good, can you tell us anything memorable about any get together? Nothing special comes to mind that I could tell others about. Except one Christmas we flew back to the midwest to visit my parents. Things went well for the week but the night before we were to leave and return home the airport was frozen in with ice & snow. All flights canceled for days. When they did open up the airport, the airlines couldn't get us booked again on any flights back home. Everything was booked heading to Phoenix from that area of the country. We ended up renting a car, driving to Kansas City Mo where we could get booked on a flight to Salt Lake City and then down into Phoenix. Having to take the long way around was crazy but it worked. Seemed that everyone was heading to Phoenix for golf tournaments, car shows and conventions where the winter time days were warm and sunny with out snow & ice.

Which would you really rather have during the holidays, pumpkin pie or another kind of pie?
Cherry pie

Enjoying Phoenix weather in the warmth and sunshine, no snow or ice.
It's whatever kind you want. Now let's have a bit of fun with . . .
Today's Question(s):
Where are you traveling this holiday season - Christmas, New Year's or Thanksgiving - or are you staying put? Not going anywhere over the holidays.
What's something you only use during the holidays? Seeing how the only holiday that I celebrate happens to fall on March 17th that is the only time I use green food coloring in my cheap beer.
Large or small, good or not so good, can you tell us anything memorable about any get together? When I was but a wee little mutt and we moved to Alaska, every couple years we would go visit family in Montana. It always took a full 24 hours to fly there. Then the relatives would want to visit for hours before dinner. By the time dinner was over I would have been up for 36 hours. Even as a youngster I had a messed up sleep cycle.

Foodie Questions:
Are there any holiday foods or beverages others enjoy that you pass on? Cranberry sauce, pumpkin pie, eggnog
Which would you really rather have during the holidays, pumpkin pie or another kind of pie? If you were paying attention to my answer to the previous question then you already know my answer.
Just for fun:
Santa made a list and is, no doubt, busy checking it twice. You worried? Not in the least bit. I always leave stinky cheese and a cheap beer for Santa.
Today ISN'T Really:
Dust Off the Gravy Boat Day Actually it is break mom's gravy boat and spend the rest of your life being punished for it day.
Today's Question(s): Where are you traveling this holiday season - Christmas, New Year's or Thanksgiving - or are you staying put? We're staying put. On the news tonight they showed aerial shots of the huge freeway traffic jams in San Francisco and Los Angeles, and I gave thanks not to be part of that mess.
What's something you only use during the holidays? I have an autumn-themed and red-and-green plaid tablecloths that are only used this time of year.
Large or small, good or not so good, can you tell us anything memorable about any get together? When I was 15 my aunt and uncle took me to my grandmother's house in Modesto, about 90 miles away, for a family reunion. What was special is that my mother was there. At the time I lived with my dad and hadn't seen her - or any of my other family on that side - since I was 11 years old. I was absolutely astonished to discover that I had grown taller than my mom!

Imagine a person named Underhill Jones or Farmington Smith. Makes you wonder what
day to day names such people went by. Can you think of any family or surname(s) that in
your opinion work well as first names or add awkward one(s) too, if ya want? On the whole I don't care for the recent trend of using surnames (Avery, Wyatt, Cooper, Logan, Mason, etc.) as first names.
Foodie Questions: Are there any holiday foods or beverages others enjoy that you pass on? Like 99.99% of the population, I'm not a big fan of fruitcake. I can also pass on egg nog.
Which would you really rather have during the holidays, pumpkin pie or another kind of pie? I prefer pumpkin pie, but mince is OK, too.
Just for fun: Santa made a list and is, no doubt, busy checking it twice. You worried? I've been an absolute angel this year.
Thanks, bjh. Happy Thanksgiving...and thanks for the pie, too!
It's whatever kind you want. Now let's have a bit of fun with . . .

"Happy Thanksgiving" everyone, let's do the turkey dance together.
Today's Question(s): Where are you traveling this holiday season - Christmas, New Year's or Thanksgiving - or are you staying put? My cousin's home. It is always a good time. It takes us about 80 minutes to get there.
What's something you only use during the holidays? When we used to stay home, I would pull out the good china.
Large or small, good or not so good, can you tell us anything memorable about any get together? We had moved to the family room to watch the game. Not long afterwards I said we had to go--got up, doing the hugging thing when we saw a glow from the dining room. There was a small fire going on from an unattended candle, glad I decided to leave when I did--it could have been really bad. We broke all fire rules putting it out. And as my family has it--we reaenacted it and laughed ourselves silly ! It was comic relief to a serious situation. (My cousin is no longer allowed to have candles!)
Foodie Questions: Are there any holiday foods or beverages others enjoy that you pass on? Sweet Potato Casserole
Which would you really rather have during the holidays, pumpkin pie or another kind of pie, and tell us what kind, if you like? My cousin's daughter in law is quite the baker, she always comes up with something different--so I will take whatever she has come up with...

Taylor, Jackson, Thomas....probably others.

I like most Holiday food that I can think of....I'll pass on soda and some of the alcoholic Beverages though.
Which would you really rather have during the holidays, pumpkin pie or another kind of pie, and tell us what kind, if you like?
My favorite pie is Cherry and if I am lucky and plan it right,
maybe we will have that for dessert sometimes this Nov or Dec. When I serve Turkey I always make pumpkin pies though...I will probably have pecan Pie, Cherry Pie or Apple pie at some point. (We don't eat a lot of desserts usually though...maybe once or twice a week, even during the Holidays)
My Son is the big Baker in the family...but he doesn't really do pies - cakes, cookies and candy though, yes.
