I love your answers to the questions...I seen this at Nancy's and enjoyed reading her answers as well. I am working at not being a scrooge...:)....but as much as I would like to play along, right now, I am too distracted...too much going on. I hope you have a great week my friend! XX Lori
Dear Bogey,
I am going to have to go with c or 3, the scrooge, but please don't call me a scrooge! isn't there a clause in there for mothers of 5, wife to one, grama to 2 (and i work full time). Oh dear i am full of excuses!
I have enjoyed your answers though, i love that Clint Black song too, sigh.
And dear friend, you undoubtdly make many peoples days with your kind heart and words, you have for me.
Love it Bogey.
I love the happiest times were with your mother.
By the way I liked your comment about seeking people out to help them, yes that is best, but at a minimum if they ask for help, peeople should help.
Love Renee xoxoo
Well you made my day, Bogey! Thanks for playing along. #6 & #7 broke my heart. I lost my mom when I was only six. I know that pain. But you haven't lost the Christmas spirit - I can tell.
Hi Bogey. My eyes are getting crossed by your answers for some reason. Kind of a 3-D type of thing. I did see the first answer and it reminds me that I want to see The Bishop's Wife, I've never seen it before.
It snowed in Munich for a couple of days the day after we went home.
It's been below freezing here but no snow yet. Bring it on. :)
Bogey, I am going for "D". I'm here to wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Very Happy Year 2010!
PS: 25 questions are too long. Hahaha! Hope you don't mind :o)
Your answer to 25 is perfect Bogey.

Lori, I am hoping that by weeks end, any thoughts of being a Scrooge will forever be cast aside. Here is hoping to see a smile of joy by weeks end.
Lori Ann, as I have said, there is a built-in claus and that is the Santa Claus. We are all capable of making each others days. All we have to do is to think before we speak.
Sorry about that James. I was looking for something that would be a little more festive. I am so looking forward to more pictures of your trip. I have no doubt that they will be spectacular.
Renee, your visitation here humbles me on a regular basis. Your strength and courage should be a beacon to all of us. I can understand more now than ever, how and why people look up to your guidance.
Nancy, I think I will die with the Christmas Spirit in my heart and on my lips. I am so sorry for the loss of your Mother at such a young age, for both of you. Perhaps it has made you a more protective and nurturing mother.
Not at all Ai Shiang. I am just very happy that you took time to stop by here. I will come and see you soon too!
Renee, perfection is in the eye of the beholder. N'est ce pas! Thanks for smiling on me today and Bless You!
