So last week I let Tuesday go by without even realizing it. This week, I’m making up for it with a double edition of the Tuesday Two.

First, though, it’s time to recognize the person who was first to answer last week’s special challenge edition. That distinction goes to Hoppers of “Hoppers Happenings.” Congratulations!

The rules, for those of you who are visiting for the first time, are simple: I offer you two questions related to a single topic. Choose one question (and only one) and answer it in your blog and leave a link to your post in a comment here. (Or, you can simply choose your question and answer it entirely in a comment here.) Be sure to specify which question you’re answering.

THIS WEEK’S FIRST TOPIC: CHRISTMAS AFTERMATH

Question A:
When is the last time you had to return or exchange a Christmas gift at a store, and how much of a hassle was doing it?

or

Question B:
Now that another Christmas is behind us, what holiday song will you be happiest to no longer have to hear for another eleven months?



THIS WEEK’S SECOND TOPIC: MONEY

Question A:
You see your worst enemy drop a $20 bill. Would you tell him or her, or would you quietly pocket the money.

or

Question B:
What is your own definition of being “rich” from a monetary standpoint?

Remember, pick question A or question B (and in this week’s case, pick one question each from both topics). Don’t answer all four questions!





My answers:
Topic #1: CHRISTMAS
Question B: I hate the song, “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree.” When I worked at Kmart, that tune made every Christmas music tape to be played in the store all five years that I was there. Imagine hearing that song, every forty-five minutes, all month long.

Topic #2: MONEY
Question A: I might hate to do it, but I’d alert him or her to the money and I’d hand it over with a smile. I’d take satisfaction in knowing that I had done something he or she probably wouldn’t have, and that’d be worth the $20 to me.
