1. What holiday or holidays do you celebrate this time of year?
Christmas, but in a pretty secular sense. I try to recognize the solstice as well, but we don't have a party or anything.
2. What was the best gift you have ever received?
I've been lucky. A painting bought for me by my parents when I was a teenager, a portrait of me by my first husband was very touching at the time, a ring I received once, a big box of Godiva chocolates that were too expensive and wholly unexpected.
3. What was the worst gift you've ever given?
I'm not sure. I try really hard to pick out things people will like. I'm sure I've probably given something horrifying, but no one has ever been so unkind as to tell me about it.
4. Where will you be celebrating the holidays? Are you hosting? Going away?
Christmas Eve, having a few friends over. Christmas Day, having my parents and grandmothers over. The day after Christnmas, going to my SIL's with Roger's family. Although I may miss that if I go to work that day.
5. If you could spend the holidays with someone who isn't around, who would it be with? Why?
My long lost sister. Mom and Dad never should have sold her to the gypsies. And my friend Victor, who I haven't seen in some years. Because I love them both and miss them.
