The Elf Stole The Hodgepodge

 


What's one task you'd like a little Christmas elf to sneak in and take care of tonight? 

I would love it if the cleaner my fridge inside and out as well as behind it.

What's your biggest challenge during the holidays? 

Surviving the heat  

Are you a cookie baker this time of year? If your year had to be summed up in the shape of a cookie cutter, what shape would it be? 

Nope I am not a baker in any way, shape or form

Santa likes milk with his cookies. Do you like milk? What kind of milk is on tap in your house? (whole, 2%, skim, almond, oat, etc). What's the last thing you made that called for milk? 

I like flavoured milk for drinking and full cream plan milk, I had porridge for breakie made with milk.

Share one favourite line from a Christmas carol or holiday tune?

The only thing that pops into my head is He’s making a list and checking it twice 

Insert your own random thought here.

Christmas is different for different people, some like big family celebrations and are lucky enough to have them, some would love a big family celebration but do not have that. While others like to be alone if someone you know is spending the day alone, do not assume that they are not ok or happy with that because it just may be the way they like it.

  1. I like milk usually 2% but only use it for my cereal or cooking. I miss having a glass of milk with dinner!
    I like chocolate milk! I haven’t had that in a long time. Hmmm, sounds like it may be time.
    I would imagine baking in your hot summer/winter months is not desirable! I know all baking and oven use ceases during the summer. I can’t see paying to cool the house down only to heat it up with the oven. Makes no sense to me! There’s a time to bake and a time not to bake.

    1. It has only been these last couple of years I I have started drinking a glass of milk every day before I start drinking the milk I would take calcium supplements to try and keep my bones strong.

  2. It's kind of interesting to me to read about the different ways people celebrate (or don't). Hubs and I both have pretty big families and we both still have our moms living so our Christmases are rarely small. This year will be on the smaller side but I am looking forward to a low key relaxed holiday where we just enjoy the grands who we'll see and miss the ones living abroad until next year. Heat! Sometimes I forget you're opposite us in seasons. We had a warm day yesterday but the temps dropped overnite so we're back to cold. Enjoy your day!

    1. I was used to a large family gathering on Christmas Day but for about three years 2018 to 2021 they were small. Since Mum passed in 2021 my brother has had a Christmas lunch for the siblings and some close family friends so we have between 15-20 people for lunch

  3. Love the idea of an elf cleaning the fridge! The holiday season definitely brings different experiences for everyone, and it's great to be mindful of that. Your thoughts on Christmas being personal to each person are spot on—sometimes solitude is just as fulfilling as a big celebration.

    1. Cleaning the fridge is a task most of us do not like and I am pleased like my thoughts on Christmas
