Welcome to QOTD Retro Christmas. Some of the questions, except a few I added, were asked by other QOTDers on 12/25 or 12/24 of previous years, more than 3 years ago. Their CD names are credited and the year they asked them has been noted.


THE QUESTIONS


Never worked on Christmas.

Anyone working today (Christmas)? (bjh - 2012)

No. I don't work on holidays.

For those who are not celebrating a holiday this week, what kinds of things do you enjoy doing while everyone else is off the roads and out of the way? (7G9C4J2 - 2012)

I probably would be on road, heading somewhere.

Did you have to assemble any gift you gave this year? What was it? (me – 2023)

No. Amazon took care of that.

If you have any pets, what gift(s) did you give them for Christmas or Hanukkah (which was earlier this month)? (me – 2023)

I usually bring something for my son's dog.

Did you put out a blow-up Santa or other blow-up doll? (wit-nit - 2016)

No and wouldn't. I saw enough deflated and laying sad on the lawns.

If you’re gift-giving during these holidays: were the presents wrapped by you, a store employee, or someone else ? (cloven - 2018)

Normally I wrap the gifts, but this time Amazon did it for me.

Have you ever purchased a live Christmas tree that you could plant? If yes, how did it work out? (me- 2023)

I always had and will have living tree. Sadly getting one with the roots is very hard in the US (such an enormous waste!). It wouldn't survive in San Antonio's climate anyway.

There are 3 states that do not grow Christmas trees. Can you name any? (John encouraged people to guess – Answers, later today) (John13 - 2019)

Guessing: Hawaii, Arizona and .. (due to climate?)

Part two: What two states grow the most trees? (John encouraged people to guess – Answers later today) (John13 - 2019)

Oregon and North Carolina?

What kind of weather including high temperature is predicted for Christmas Day where you live? (me – 2023)

Temperatures above average. No snow.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jokes and Puns (nothing to answer)

There are 100 of these type of family-friendly Christmas jokes and puns on the Good Housekeeping website if you want to try them out today on family and friends.

Let's see...


Merry Christmas! Drive safely if you are traveling by car. Don’t forget to look up for mistletoe if you will be in a home that is not your own. And most important, after your wonderful meal on Christmas Day, remember not to put your sharp knives in the dishwasher.

Not traveling today - spending the day with close friends. No mistletoe tradition. No dishwasher here where l am right now. Not popular overseas, anyway.

Thank you, Laura and Happy Holidays, everyone!!
