No, I stopped doing Christmas Cards last year.

Do you stuff your turkey or make it by itself.

Sandra, I'm jealous. My son lives in the San Diego area. I lived there for 4 years before I moved back to GA.



I haven't heard of KFC selling a Yule Log. I think it would want me to go out and buy some real KFC chicken.



Do you ever drive around town and look at all the Christmas lights?

I use my grandmother's china for holidays (pattern discontinued before WWII), my Johnson Brothers china the rest of the time. I bought it in 1981, it is also discontinued.

Do you have sterling flatware?

Yes. We go out to dinner with our entire family and then we go back to my brother's house for our gift exchange. After we come home, we put the gifts under the tree and each of us opens one. After that, we watch A Christmas Story.

Do you have your main Christmas dinner on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day or another time.

I have a lot of Christmas movies that I watch. We always watch all the Home Alone movies, National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation is a must, first Die Hard movie because it took place at Christmas time, and the Lethal Weapon Movies, especially the first one.

Ooops! Forgot to put my question.


Do you put up outdoor Christmas decorations?

"In everyone's life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit." - Albert Schweitzer

"Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment or the smallest act of caring; all of which have the potential to turn a life around." ~ Leo Buscaglia

Yes many times, but I only hit one many years ago, did minimum damage and the deer ran off,, probably bruised.

Do you have coyotes in your area ?
