~ Have you seen any of those poinsettia plants this holiday season? Poinsettias are poisonous to cats, so I don't look for or at them when I'm out and about.

~ What thing do you have...in your home that is a fun color? Hmmm. I have an indoor/outdoor rug that is an unusual blend of turquoise/orange/burgundy. It kind of works!

~ We all must eat so have you any idea what you will be eating this Christmas Sunday? Well, definitely cookies!

~ Do you have a good deck of cards or do you have a crappy worn out deck of cards? I'm not sure even IF I have a deck of cards at all. Maybe in a drawer somewhere.

~ What and when? The last soda/pop that you had to drink: Can't even remember, it's been so long. I got a regular lemonade (not carbonated) when I went to Chipotle yesterday.

~
Have you seen a Christmas cactus this holiday season? Hmmm, no, don't think so.

~ Have you any slippers? Yes, am wearing one pair now.

~ If you buy new socks...describe what kind of socks you would like: My sister and I exchange socks for Christmas. I would like a pair that is warm but thin. In a cheerful color like red.

~ Something in your home that just might get dusty before you use it again: Everything is already dusty .

~ Have you ever been outside and seen either the International Space Station or a Satellite? Just sparkly things up in the sky - who knows what they are??

~ Have you been a little more cheerful when out and about...to spread happiness this Christmas/holiday? I make it a point to be friendly and talk to the cashiers.

~ Will you be giving any pets any happiness this Christmas/holiday? Yes, got the gang a bunch of special food and toys yesterday. They make litter boxes out of pressed cardboard, yay! And sell litter in it too, yay! But more excitingly, I found these little bouncy balls that flash red and blue when they bounce. The young catz love them! And the dog got a purple alligator which doesn't squeak but supposedly makes a sound that only dogs can hear. We didn't wait until Christmas morning for these treats.

~ A fun thing for a dog or a fun thing for a cat: Bouncy balls and purple alligators!

~ What FREE air freshener would like for inside your car or truck? It has a little hanger on it, like one of those pine tree thingies...what do you want your free one to look like (anything!) and what scent do you want? It should be a spiral, and smell like cinnamon.

~ This weekend: heating or air conditioning? OMG, heat!

~ Who here has been around a fireplace...and when and where? Every single day, since there's one in the living room. I did have the chimney guy come and clean it and tuck point in October, but I haven't had a fire yet. Does someone want to come and cut firewood for me? I have a bunch of big logs to be cut.

Thanks, Roosty!

Looks like I was lucky enough to land on my second-favorite QOTD slot.

~ Have you seen any of those poinsettia plants this holiday season? I have a few here at home and the building lobby where my workplace is located has them.


~ What thing do you have...in your home that is a fun color? A bright orange book binder.

Have you seen a Christmas cactus this holiday season? No.


~ Have you any slippers? No.


~ If you buy new socks...describe what kind of socks you would like: For work, the earth-tone or neutral-colored socks that go over the calf but don't slide down. For casual wear, I prefer the ankle-high white cotton socks.

~ Who here has been around a fireplace...and when and where? I haven't lived in a home with a fireplace for 30+ years.

*** Merry Christmas, happy holiday and I wish you smiles and comfort, always... *** Merry Christmas to you as well.

NHave you seen any of those poinsettia plants this holiday season?

in stores, sure

~ What thing do you have...in your home that is a fun color?

Christmas tree, duh


~ We all must eat so have you any idea what you will be eating this Christmas Sunday?

Turkey and ham with the fixings. I love turkey, was pissed when Italian was voted in last year for a shake up

~ Do you have a good deck of cards or do you have a crappy worn out deck of cards?

Not a card guy

~ What and when? The last soda/pop that you had to drink:

Diet cherry coke for lunch yesterday

[bleep] is a Christmas cactus?

I live in them all winter including right now.

Live in them all winter too, also wearing them now. I just bought this pair of medium heavy, soft socks for everyday use


~ Something in your home that just might get dusty before you use it again:
Good question this one is. Apparently my golf clubs fit the bill here


~ Have you ever been outside and seen either the International Space Station or a Satellite?

No but Mrs. Mt Airy is alway up on the whole "tonight Jupiter will be visible, it won't happen again for 87 years" thingy. Dave realizes that in 3 months another "won't happen again in our lifetime" event will be in the sky but he plays along anyway because it's important to her


~ Have you been a little more cheerful when out and about...to spread happiness this Christmas/holiday?

I think it's only natural for everyone, at least I hope it is

Sure, I give our girls a treat Bully Stick from the pet store


~ A fun thing for a dog or a fun thing for a cat:

My shephed LOVES playing Frisbee so I ordered her a new one. It lights up and is a blast at night. She has mostly black fur on top and disappears once she gets 5 yards away. I throw this glowing space ship into the dark and this invisible force snatches it. Great fun.

~ What FREE air freshener would like for inside your car or truck? It has a little hanger on it, like one of those pine tree thingies...what do you want your free one to look like (anything!) and what scent do you want?

I hate those damned things

Last pop I had was yesterday, Dr Pepper.

Socks, I only buy one kind, the real nice thick men's crew socks.
I've seen the space station or whatever it was, many times. It's fast!
Fireplace? Back when we lived in Flagstaff and back in Chilton, we had woods burning stove, man they were nice and toasty! 😊
Have a great day, great weekend everyone.....
