Saturday Six – Episode 189

1 December 2007 7 Comments

I still can’t believe that it’s already the first of December. It seems like it ought to be about mid-October. Then again, just having survived November sweeps, I’m not going to complain too loudly.

No one waited until the first of December to start thinking about the holidays, and that’s the theme of this week’s set of questions.

  • First to play last week: Cassie of “Memaholic.” Congratulations!

Here are this week’s “Saturday Six” questions. 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! To be counted as “first to play,” you must be the first player to either answer the questions in a comment or to provide a complete link to the specific entry in your journal in which you answer the questions. A link to your journal in general cannot count. Enjoy!

1. What is your favorite holiday song?

2. What is your least favorite holiday song?

3. If you had to sing a holiday song Karioke style at a Christmas party, which one would you choose, and why?

4. Take the quiz: Which Christmas Carol are you?

5. Does it bother you if you walk through a store that has signs that say “Happy Holidays?”

6. Does it bother you if you find that the same store has displays that mention Hanukkah and Kwanzaa by name, but make no specific mention of Christmas?

If you have a Reader’s Choice question you’d like to see asked (and answered), send me an email! I’d love to be able to include it in a future edition of the Saturday Six.

    Jingle Bells

    Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire. Good back-up.

    Hey, I’m nice, why do I get Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer! :)

    5. Does it bother you if you walk through a store that has signs that say “Happy Holidays?”

    No, I like it. It applies to more people.

    6. Does it bother you if you find that the same store has displays that mention Hanukkah and Kwanzaa by name, but make no specific mention of Christmas?

    No.

    1. Favorite Holiday Song: “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas”

    2. Least Favorite: “I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas” (dumbest thing I ever heard–and the gal singing sounds as if she’s sucking helium between verses).

    3. Karaoke? I’m laughing. “The Ukrainian Bell Carol.” Why? No lyrics. Maybe I could hum it and offend fewer people? I’m worse than the chick who wants the hippo.

    4. Which carol am I? “So this is Christmas…” and, yeah, I’d happily give up the material things for even peace on a small scale.

    5. Does “Happy Holidays” bother me? No. Holidays is a derivative of “Holy Days”–and that shouldn’t bother anyone. The whole seasonal semantics battle is ridiculous. The “war on Christmas” is not one waged by “liberal heathens”–it was lost to Madison Avenue/Corporate America decades ago.

    6. The war in Iraq bothers me. Darfur bothers me. Poverty, disease, illiteracy and hopelessness bother me. Which signs hang in which stores is a preoccupation for those who choose not to see past their own biases.
