For me...it is a toss-up between caroling and the tree decorating.

I miss caroling. It isn’t really done anymore. Sure, you can formally be with a group that will sing for hospital patients, troops, or such, but...groups of people going out impromptu and singing for a range of people from close family to complete unknowns.

We didn’t do a huge amount, but nearly every year, some group from a large party or something would go out and carol. It would be cold outside, and I always liked in when someone would finally make their way over to a window and look outside...there was something about that that made me smile. The lighting inside had a slight yellowish tinge...I can’t describe it adequately.

As for the tree...I loved that lead tinsel! We used to ball it up in our hand and wing it at each other outside...frikking crazy. Could have killed each other with those things, you get one the size of a golfball...

Hi, Merry Christmas!
You Are Holiday Lights
You are bright, energetic, and ready to do whatever it takes to make the holidays awesome.
You don't ever mind being the center of attention, and you love it when people notice how well you've done something.

You are outgoing and unashamed of who you are. You may have a strong personality at times, but you're okay with that.
People are drawn to you, and you can make friends pretty easily. You are a leader of sorts - just by doing whatever you want to do!

Hi Luv! I’m staying up for Santa. Not a problem since I’m a night owl. I was always the last one to bed. Last one up in the afternoon, too.

Hi Luv. Says here I am Secret Santa. :-)

You are a delightfully thoughtful person, and you always know how to brighten up a friend’s day.
You would be the perfect Santa for anyone this holiday, and those who receive a gift from you are very lucky!

You are not a naturally selfish person. You take good care of yourself, but you always find room and resources to give back.
You are very intuitive and optimistic. You sense what other people need in order to make their days a little more joyful.

And of course, the picture is one of me in an alternate universe, right?
