Sorry I’m a bit late with this, but better late than never!
For those who’d like to join in on the fun, playing is simple: you can either answer the questions in this journal or you can answer them in your own blog and leave a link. It is strongly recommended that you answer the journals in your blog and post the link…since several of the people who are playing have relocated away from AOL, it’s important that everyone knows where your new (or temporary) blogging homes are, so if you don’t mind, leave a first name and your journal’s link, just so we can find you easier!
But before the questions, the tradition of the “Saturday Six” is to recognize the first one to play the week before. Judi, of “Talking to Myself” was the first person to play last week. Congratulations, Judi.
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. How much of your Christmas shopping and holiday card mailing do you have left to accomplish? When do you expect to finish it if you haven’t already?
2. When giving gifts to co-workers or casual friends, how much importance do you place on the value of the gift you’re giving them versus the value of the gift you imagine they’re giving you?
3. What are you secretly hoping someone will give you for Christmas that you haven’t specifically asked for?
4. Take this quiz (if you haven’t already!): Which Jones Holiday Soda Flavor are you?
5. Would you actually try that flavor?
6. READER’S CHOICE QUESTION #78 from Carly: If you could step into the life of any fictional Christmas character — Scrooge, Rudolph, Frost, etc. — and live that part, which character would you choose and why?
If you have a Reader’s Choice question you’d like to see asked (and answered), click the e-mail link on the About Me bar and send it to me.
MY ANSWERS:
1. I’m doing up my Christmas cards this weekend. I have about half of my Christmas shopping left to do and I’ll probably finish up by Friday.
2. I used to worry about that…these days, I tend to make up candy/treat packages for my co-workers, so it’s more about the effort put into them than calculating how much in sweets I’ve given them. I like it a lot better that way.
3. A new Mac G5 Powerbook, which I absolutely do not need. (I guess that’s why I didn’t ask for it…along with the fact that no one could afford it, either.)
4. Pecan Pie Soda
“Sweet, but totally nuts.”
5. Hmm. This has at least more appeal than some of the other flavors I’ve heard they’ve come up with, but I still think I’d pass.
6. I think I’d like to be Rudolph…it would be nice to feel that valued because of the things you’d otherwise be ashamed of.
Ok, my list is up at the Other Invisible!

Here’s mine:
1. About 99.5 done; all shipped; have to buy one more gift tomorrow and then I’m done.
2.Haven’t bought for coworkers in a long time since I’m my own boss, but I tried to think of good presents to get them regardless of what I thought they might be getting me.
3. Opening their hearts to let Amy my little mentee and a foster kid come to live at our house.
4. ***You Are Smoked Salmon Pate Soda***
Tasting like fish ain’t so bad!
5. NO!
6. The Grinch; he staretd out not understanding, but understood and then exceeded the expectations of others. Kind of like walking the talk.
Merry Christmas!
