Lola's Holiday Meme

Welcome back to Sunday Stealing. Sunday Stealing originated on WTIT: The Blog authored by Bud Weiser. Here we will steal all types of memes from every corner of the blogosphere. Our promise to you is that we will work hard to find the most interesting and intelligent memes. You may have heard of the expression, “honor amongst thieves”. In that age-old tradition, we also have our rules. First, we always credit the blog that we stole it from and we will “fess up” to the blog owner where we stole the meme. We also provide a link to the victim's post. (It's our way of saying "Thanks!") We do sometimes edit the original meme, usually to make it more relevant to our global players, to challenge our players, sometimes to select that meme's best questions, or simply to make it less repetitive from either this new meme or recently asked questions from a prior featured meme. Let's go!

Today we ripped this meme off a blogger named Stacy at the blog All Stacy, All the Time. She states that she stole it at Lola's blog Lola's Diner. Lola wrote this herself! We had searched for a holiday meme, but only found two that had already been played by a zillion players. We were thrilled to find not only an original meme, but one much better than the other two. Link back to us at Sunday Stealing!

Cheers to all us thieves!

Sunday Stealing: Lola's Holiday Meme

1. What is your favorite holiday show/animated show? I don't really get into the shows/movies.

2. What holiday character do you think you're most like?  None of them.

3. What holiday character does your spouse think you're most like?  None of them.

4. Favorite Christmas/holiday song? I'm not really into Christmas music either but there are a couple that if I hear them on the radio, I might not switch stations.

5. Most hated Christmas/holiday song? Feliz Navidad....the only reason is because I get it stuck in my head whenever I hear it.

6. If you have an all holiday music radio station when do you start listening to it? I actually get quite irritated when a couple of my stations start playing Christmas music from Thanksgiving through the New Year and I don't listen to them until they are back to the regular songs.

7. If you have an all holiday music radio station do you love it or hate it?   I don't hate it, I just find other stations to listen to.

8. Have you ever wrapped yourself as a Christmas present?  No.

9. Who is Rudolf The Red Nosed Reindeer's father? Heck if I know.

10. Do you drive your neighborhood or one near you at night to look at other people's holiday decorations?  We're thinking of taking Lauryn to the 5/3 Ball Park  Nite Lites this year.  They have tons of lights through there and I think she'd really like seeing them.

11. When you see a heavily decorated house do you think, 'oh that's lovely'? Or do you think, 'oh criminy, that looks like Christmas threw up all over their lawn'?  I think to each their own.  I prefer the houses with a few white lights and a big green wreath with a big red bow.  Nice and simple.

12. Are you counting the days to Christmas with excited anticipation or dread?  At first I couldn't wait to get it all over with but now I'm getting excited for Christmas because of my daughter.

13. When was the last time you had your photo taken with Santa? Did you sit on his lap?  I don't know if I've ever had my picture taken with Santa.

14. Do you make a Christmas list for your spouse or significant other or do you rely on them to pick your gift(s) without a clue from you?  He's really good at remembering things I've mentioned during the year or just surprising me with things.  I never have to give him a list.

15. When do you put up your tree?  Sometime after Thanksgiving.

16. Real or fake? Used to always be real but for the last three years we've put up a fake one...I got sick of the needles!

17. When do you take your tree down?  After New Years.

18. Do you shop the day after Christmas sales? What do you shop for?  Not the day after.  If in the next few weeks I see some good sales on Christmas cards or wrapping paper I might grab some but I don't really go shopping for them in particular.

19. Is your work/office having a holiday party this year? Will you attend?  No office this year, I'm a SAHM :)

20. Do you have your New Year's Eve Plans set yet?  Yes.  My mom and I always celebrate it together.  Our little city is doing fireworks so we'll be watching them and then hanging out for a little while.  I don't want to keep Lauryn out so late though so I'm not sure if we'll stay until the ball drops.

*I feel a little bit like Scrooge after filling this out!....Maybe I should have put that for #2 :)*
