Questions:
What’s your remedy for the Holiday blues?
Just comedies, comedy and even comedies! There are some fantastic Christmas comedy specials out there!
Your favorite beverage (if it differs) during the holiday season? If it doesn’t differ, just answer the ‘what’s your favorite beverage” part.
I have an entire assortment of favourite beverages. I have actually recently gotten into egg nog. Oh my goodness, I was missing out there! I enjoy more milkshakes around this time of year. Here in Australia, it’s Summer, so the weather is warmer. Anything minty as well. The same with my response last week with the mint chocolate ice-cream. I also enjoy glasses of white sweet wine,lol
This one has been asked before, but what’s your take on pumpkin spice?
I’ve never honestly had it,lol
Is there is a person or god connected with your holiday?
- Who are they and do you believe in them?
- If you do not believe in these people or gods, does the celebration/honoring of that being, bother you in any way (e.g., ignored, dismissed, angry, etc.)?
I don’t really believe in a God for Christmas or anything. I believe in what the spirit of Christmas is supposed to be. The only thing that bothers me is when people say that people are at War with Christmas, because Starbucks put “Happy Holidays” on a cup. Or when Trump says things like Obama wont let people say “Merry Christmas”, when there was absolutely no proof of that. That bothers me.
I have no problem with “Happy Holidays” in general, anyway. Not everyone on planet Earth celebrates Christmas. We celebrate Christmas, but my family doesn’t celebrate a Christian Christmas. But we all enjoy the holidays and breaks we get because of it, and why not?.
Gratitude:
Share a song that you enjoy during this Winter season (whether it’s Christmas, Hanukkah, The Winter Solstice, Kwanzaa and so forth.
Oh, there are so many that I love!
Thanks Lauren for Sharing Your Christmas World! I read your answer to the pumpkin spice question and thought “Be grateful.” Another blogger pointed out that there is cardamon in that stuff, and cardamon is a spice usually associated with East Indian dishes, so why it’s in an otherwise cookie spice conglomeration is a mystery to me. I don’t like pumpkin spice at all. But others enjoy it and even find the scent pleasant. I don’t think y’all have that phenomenon down in Australia, do you? I’ve had a couple of other Aussies respond that they don’t know of it. I like your answer to the Christmas Celebration question! That’s how ‘Christmas’ ought to be, in my opinion, a celebration. No limitations placed on it. Have a great week Lauren!

We should become pen pals just so I can send you some pumpkin spice tea!!! Lol. I wish I could send you a piece of my homemade pumpkin pie, that’s the best!! I love pumpkin spice! I just tried a local made spiced wine for the first time. Oh my gosh, it’s soooo good. It’s sweet with hints of nutmeg and cinnamon, and it’s Christmas in a cup!! It’s so, so good!!!!
