HODGEPODGE DECEMBER 1

1. When it comes to gift giving are you more of a 'create something from scratch' or a 'buy something in a shop' kind of giver? Tell about a favorite homemade gift you've given or one you've received. 

First I ask what the person wants and I don't buy anything without asking before. I used to offer little fashion jewelery to my DIL and wondered why I never saw them on her until one day she told me that she doesn't like jewelery at all, that she would prefer a book ! So it is very important to know what your family members wants ! Self made gifts that wouldn't even come into my mind, except maybe a painting from me. I can't remember that I ever received a homemade gift since I am adult, when I was a child I got self knitted pullovers which scratched terribly !

2. Do you have the 'gift of gab'? Is that a blessing or a curse? 

That depends I have no problems to talk to all people and once a  man told me that I had certainly been a party girl which in some way is true. Usually when I enter somewhere I am always noticed even if I don't want to be noticed. It started already at high school. Before I was a rather calm and shy child always with my nose in a book.

3. What's something you have going on that you need/want to 'wrap up' this month? 

Nothing, this year Christmas celebration is very unsure. Rick doesn't get better, he almost sleeps all the time. I doubt very much to be able to take him home at Christmas. I haven't even thought about gifts or asked what they want. My grandson safes money for a computer game and wants an envelope. I try to forget the times when there were countless colorful parcels under the tree. 

4. A food you love that is 'wrapped' in some way? 

I like above all the "Wraps" which you can buy almost everywhere !  


or eat in a restaurant. Each time I travel I buy two for lunch in the train or airplane.
 
5. December is upon us...share something here (quote, verse, poem, song lyric, your own thoughts) related to the word hope. 
 
I like this one
 

6. Insert your own random thought here. 

I wonder how long this Virus life will last. Christmas is approaching I rather avoid to think !

 

 Fortunately I have her !
