Last Updated on August 5, 2017

It’s time for another edition of the Saturday Six. And I warn you up front: this week’s Reader’s Choice question is a quite a thinker!

The ever-popular Scott, who some of you have dubbed a “hottie,” (yeah, he’ll get me for that!) got his answer posted first! But take a close look: actually, Chelle managed to transmit her answer at the same minute! It can’t possibly get tighter than that!

And just to remind everyone else, to be recognized as the official first player of the week, you must be first to answer the questions in a comment here or to leave the specific entry’s address in a comment here. A generic link to your journal doesn’t count.

Also, welcome to the following first-time players:
Promise, Anna, Amy, Meg, Lady T, Brian, and Ivory.

If you’re like me, you look forward to that part! I am always happy to find new journals to visit! Be sure to visit their journals and say hello to the newest members of the Saturday Six family!

Now, on to this week’s questions. 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. What is your all-time favorite Christmas Carol or holiday song?

2. What percentage of your Christmas shopping have you completed?

3. Other than yourself, which of the following would you most likeyour child to have as a role model and why:
A) Doctor
B) Politician
C) Professional Athlete
D) Businessman

4. What current television show would you most like to see disappear permanently?

5. Have you used any themed photo wall calendar in 2004? Do you already have one ready for 2005, and if so, what is next year’s theme of choice?

6. READER’S CHOICE QUESTION #35 from Armand: Read this quotation from Ralph Waldo Emerson recently posted in Armand’s journal, “Uncommon Sense.” Given the context of the quote, how have you been most successful in your life?

 

MY ANSWERS:
1. Leroy Anderson’s “Sleigh Ride.” I prefer the instrumental rendition performed by a full orchestra. Nothing says Christmas to me quite like that song.

2. 0%!! Gotta get moving!!!

3. A) Doctor. I think arguments could be made for each one, but I think doctors prove that there is nothing wrong with constant learning: new diseases and new treatments require them to constantly be expanding their mind to accept new possibilities. And despite the “bad apples,” theirs is noble profession.

4. “Fear Factor.” Just disgusting.

5. 2004’s calendar featured Virginia Places. 2005 hasn’t been purchased, yet, but may be a dog calendar of some kind.

6. I am most successful at having laughed often and loved much, although I tend to forget how to laugh too easily and haven’t loved as much or to as deep an extent as I would like so far.

    Doctor, since he is less likely to be a corporate puppet and a soulless lackey.

    Any reality TV show, really. That Honey Booboo show especially.
