Has a full week already gone by since my last entry? Is it already time for a new one? Is it really Saturday again? And Christmas Day to boot?!?

What a month December has been! It’s flying by at warp speed. Somehow, it feels like it should be October for some reason.

Last week, it was Dave who beat everyone else to the button to be the first one to play! Congrats, Dave!

Jellogirl has played for a while, but posted a link for the first time, so she gets the nod as a “first time player” for the benefit of those who haven’t seen her journal, yet. Be sure to stop by and say hello.

There were a couple of other journals whose names I didn’t recognize, but it’s quite possible that my mind might be clouded from all of the turkey…if I didn’t mention you and you did play for the first time, please drop me an E-mail and I’ll be happy to add you to the list!

To play you can either answer the questions in a comment here, or put the answers in an entry on your journal…but either way, leave a link to your journal so that everyone else can visit! (And if you’re playing for the first time, please be sure to say so in the comment!) Enjoy!

1. Did you travel for the Christmas holidays? If so, how did you get where you were going and how was the trip?

2. Did you get most of the gifts you were hoping for?

3. If you were to check Santa’s list, would your name appear to indicate that you had been good enough in 2004 to have DESERVED those gifts?

4. If you HAD to make one New Year’s Resolution next year, what would it be?

5. READER’S CHOICE QUESTION #36 from Mrs. L: What is your favorite kind of Christmas cookie or dessert?

6. READER’S CHOICE QUESTION #37 from Promise: Who inspires you the most in your life?

My answers:

1. I drove from Virginia to South Carolina…it’s a 6-hour drive, and despite a little rain, it was pretty much uneventful.

2. I got all of the gifts I was really hoping for, so I have no complaints at all.

3. Most definitely.

4. To lose weight. I’d like to look like Brad Pitt by December. (I’m not holding my breath, either.)

5. A nice helping of Apple Betty, still warm from the oven.

6. This is a tough one for me…I would suppose that my mom inspires me the most, because I want her to be the most proud of me.

I hope you all had a Merry Christmas!
