Monday Madness: December 11, 2006

brought to you by Monday Madness

This week's questions come from our good friend, and faithful participant, gabrielle. Thanks so much for your questions, Gabrielle!!

1. What song gives you the most holiday cheer?
i think... "Have a Holly Jolly Christmas" by Burl Ives. the one he sings for the "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer" Christmas television special. it brings me right back to being a kid & the Christmas specials making it feel like Christmas was really coming.

2. Who is the hardest person to shop for on your holiday list?
my list is very short this year. and no one on it was particularly difficult to shop for.

3. When do you start your holiday shopping?
i start my holiday shopping when i think of an idea! sometimes i have a gift for months, tucked away, patiently waiting for Christmas. =)

4. What food or drink do you love when it's cold out? (Recipes and recommendations, please!)
hot apple cider! no question about it.

5. What do you do to get rid of a cold or flu?
i don't really think there's anything you can do about the flu, but rest, drinks fluids & wait it out. a cold though? at the first *hint* of an impending cold, i start pounding vitamin C & Cold-Eeze. it may not keep the cold away completely but it will make me feel far less cruddy & usually only for a few days.
