Saturday Nine

Jingle Bell Rock

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 memes, however, and here is today's meme!


1) Sam has affection for this song because, when she was very young, she tap-danced to it for a Christmas recital. Her parents told her she was wonderful. Do you have any memories from a school/church program or pageant -- either as a child onstage or an adult in the audience?
I don't. I was supposed to play Mary, in a Christmas play in grade school, but I couldn't do it, so I faked sick to get out of it. My one chance at fame and I blew it!
 2) Ok, she admits it: After too many cups of holiday cheer, Sam did a few steps of her "Jingle Bell Rock" routine at last year's company Christmas party. Have you ever done anything at a coworker gettogether that you now regret?
Nah. I worked at Tippi forever, and I knew I had to work with them forever. I never believed in sharing things that I had to spend my life with. Always on my regular behavior with work friends.
3) Since that unfortunate Christmas 2012 incident, Sam can't even look at a cup of egg nog. How about you? Do you like egg nog?
ugh. no.
4) For special events, Sam slips on her favorite piece of jewelry: a charm bracelet that once belonged to her grandmother. Do you have a special treasure from a previous generation?
I have a ring, from my grandma Dugan. I have kept it away from people for years, but I think I am going to get it sized next month.
5) The only Christmas card Sam has received so far in 2013 is from her insurance agent. How about you? Have any holiday cards arrived yet?
I have about 15 so far. 
6) Because of the chill in the air, Sam gave her dog his Christmas gift -- a sweater -- early this year. He's already gotten compliments on it. Are there any pets on your gift list?
4 sweet babies here and 2 at my sister's house.
 7) Do you need snow to get "into the spirit?"
Um. I am really not sure if I can get in the spirit this year. My mom passed away on Easter Sunday and I haven't much 'spirit' in me.
 8) Are you going to get/have you gotten a flu shot this year?
I say 'no' , my Dr. says 'yes'. We'll see. 
9) December is an important fundraising month for charities. Here's your chance to plug a worthy cause that means a lot to you.
