Hodgepodge

 

Happy bonus blog post day, friends! I'm here linking up with Joyce today for her weekly hodgepodge of questions this week. I'll jump right in!

1. What's the best $5 gift to give someone? I think a gift card is the best inexpensive gift, and that's the perfect amount for a small cup of coffee while you're out and about or a milkshake for your favorite fast food place. These are things I get pretty regularly from my sons, and I always love that kind of a gift. I know people say that gift cards are impersonal, but I think they're a great way to get someone to treat herself. 

2. What's your favorite way to relax/unwind during the busy holiday season? I have been on a reading kick, so I'll say that for now. But you know I also love to watch a Hallmark Christmas movie during this time of year, so either sound wonderful. Before I left for an event at church last night, I sat and read my book. 

3. How do you feel about gingerbread? Love it or no thanks? Are gingerbread houses a part of your holiday tradition? If you said yes, how does that look? Do you like ginger flavor in other dishes? I love gingerbread cookies, but I rarely eat them or buy one. I tried to do gingerbread houses with my boys once when they were little, and though it was fun, it wasn't something we ever did again. The only thing I can think of that has ginger in it is the ginger sauce that I love at my favorite Japanese restaurant. 

4. December 5th is National Blue Jeans Day...will you be celebrating? Do you have a favorite brand? A favorite pair? Do you have a hard time parting with a favorite pair of jeans? Blue jeans--joggers--leggings--yoga pants...which one do you wear most often? Jeans are not my favorite pants, believe it or not, so I never have a hard time parting with a pair. That being said, there are certain brands I've liked more than others over the years, but my favorites are a pull-on pair by Westbound or the more recent wide legged jeans that I bought from Halara. I definitely wear leggings the most out of these choices! 

5. As we head into this holiday season, what's your biggest priority or goal for the end of the year? I would say that my biggest priority right now and my immediate future is to keep choosing the high road. I'm being quiet in my life circumstances, and I'm just trying to keep on doing what I'm doing. There are so many things that help me with this: friends, the Bible, prayer, and the reminder of brighter days that are just around the corner. 

I wrote another post under this one, this month's Currently link; I mention that so that you don't miss it since I posted it first. Thanks for being here today, friends! Love to all.
