Welcome to Saturday: 9. What we've committed to our readers is that we will post 9 questions every Saturday. Sometimes the post will have a theme, and at other times the questions will be totally unrelated. Those weeks we do "random questions," so-to-speak. We encourage you to visit other participants posts and leave a comment. Because we don't have any rules, it is your choice. We hate rules. We love to answer the questions, however, and here is today's questions!
Saturday 9: The Christmas Song (1961) 1) The lyrics mention "chestnuts roasting on an open fire." Do you often eat chestnuts?
I don't think I have ever eaten a chestnut.
Not really. California weather is so iffy that it might be
80 in December, or 40 in June, so I don't necessarily associate "weather" with
any particular time of year.
I think of it primarily as a holiday dish (serve it on both
Thanksgiving and Christmas) but I also sometimes serve it at other times of the
year itself. And we do eat ground turkey
I think of it as "The Christmas Song," sometimes "chestnuts..."
but never "Merry Christmas to you." Van Gogh's Starry Night
6) Best remembered today as a singer, Cole was also an accomplished composer and jazz pianist. Do you like jazz?
No. My father was a jazz pianist and so insistent that I
learn to love jazz that I completely shut it out of my head long ago. Some, but the first card we got was from Chewy.com thanking us for our patronage. 8) When did/will you start holiday shopping this year: Christmas Eve, Thanksgiving/Black Friday, Halloween? Earlier than that?
I kind of shop through the year. Not specifically, but if I
see something that I think someone will like, I buy it, even if it's in June. OK. First domestic - Compassion International, whose message is "releasing children from poverty in Jesus' name." I am not a religious person, but I found Compassion many years ago and I like feeling I am helping children around the world. I sponsor nine children and write to many more, who have sponsors who don't want to have a correspondence with their sponsored children.
Internationally, it would be the
David Sheldrick
CharitableTrust, which operates an orphan elephant rescue and rehabilitation
program in Kenya. As one of Africa’s oldest wildlife charities and a
leading conservation organization, the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust embraces all
measures that complement the conservation, preservation and protection of
wildlife. |
