And now for Wednesday Hodgepodge, hosted by Joyce From This Side of the Pond.
1. Have you ever been on a real sleigh ride? How about the warm weather version - a carriage ride?
No and no. I've always wanted to do that. Either or both.
2. What's your policy on 'chain mail'...you know, the emails you receive that are often some sort of poem/blessing/good wish that ask you to send it on to 10 or 12 friends? Do you delete without opening, read and trash, read and trash and then worry you won't be blessed/lucky/protected? Do you delete the sender from your contacts or just go ahead and send the love onward?
They annoy me. I generally skim them 'cause I don't realize it's one of "those" emails until I get to the end.
3. Who is your favorite character in any of the Christmas movies and why?
and then of course, there's Linus in A Charlie Brown Christmas
4. Share a favorite quote.
Cheap grace is the preaching of forgiveness without requiring repentance. . . (Dietrich Bonhoeffer)
and this one from the most recent online issue of Christianity Today:
Preoccupied with self and distracted by affluence, many Christians try to confine the gospel to a superior form of therapy; they fail to see it as a cosmic plan of redemption in which they, as fallen creatures, are directly involved. (Charles Colson)
5. What's your favorite holiday scent?
Aromatique's The Smell of Christmas, which they describe as "the delightful aromas of citrus and spice with naturally festive botanicals... red berries, evergreen sprigs, nuts, pinecones and cinnamon sticks"I love the potpourri and the candles!
6. Does the Christmas season stress you out? In what way?
A little bit. Too many things to do and not enough time to do them. Especially since I got a notice to report for jury duty next Monday.
7. What's the best thing about your life right now?
My family.
8. Insert your own random thought here.>
I love this song from Avalon - a great reminder for busy moms!

Gotta love Linus!
Jury duty! Oh no! What a rotten time of year for it!
Another great book combo!!!
A faithful follower...have a great day!
Jury duty! In December! Yikes!
I love that quote by Charles Colson-he has an amazing testimony.
I have to add that my word verification is nolists-ha! Don't I wish!
I love both of those authors. Especially Sheila Walsh. I am a faithful follower and have posted the BFTH button on my blog. Count me in.
Well I surely got alot in my delightful visit today. I know what scent I need. Got some terrific quotes, a new Christmas movie to watch AND a book give-away!! Woo HOO! I love the books I've won in the past. Not one disappointment among them.
I am now an official follower, though I've been unofficial for quite some time. : ) Entry #2 woo hoo! Thanks.
Great book combo. Thanks for the giveaway. Blessings, SusanD
Yep. I'm a follower. :)
I have the button on my sidebar too. Thanks for sharing. Blessings, SusanD
I chose Linus too. When Hallmark came out with the ornament for this monologue, we bought it! It's awesome. Thanks for sharing. Blessings, SusanD
Interesting answers. I'm with you on #5. I buy the potpouri and put it in jars and bowls around the house. I've got to make a trip to the mall to buy another bag for this Christmas!
Hope you're dismissed early from jury duty!
Blessings!

i wish you had said what you did with those 'cahin letters'. oersonally, if i like the message in it, i will copy and paste it into a new window, delete everything i don't like about it (including the part of sending it on and good luck and so on) and just send it as an email. the book choices look good, as always.
Jury dute will add to anyones stress! I hate having to show up for those, especially since I'm married to a cop so they don't want me on any cases but I have to show up and wait all day to be told that I am not right for the case. Then I have to come back 4 more times to do the same thing. Its a long day of nothing!!!
Jury duty during the Christmas season. Well that's a new one!
By the way, how can you have never watched It's a Wonderful Life even once? It's not my favorite movie, but I think it is required viewing at least once in your life. : )
Love Linus, even as a kid I loved him! :)
The books look great, I need to jump into a good book over Christmas break!!
Thanks for all you support and prayers lately too!!! :)
I just watched a Charlie Brown Christmas last night. Linus' monologue is the high point of that much loved cartoon, in my opinion. I look forward to hearing it every year!
Hi Linda,

I've never seen "Samantha: An American Girl Holiday". I'll have to see if I can find it.
I really enjoyed that song you shared. The last one as I had not ever heard of it before. Its a good reminder of what the season should be about.
Enjoyed reading your answers. This season has me stressed this year. I just can't seem to go from start to finish. Hope your having a great day.
Still following!
Enjoyed reading all that you shared. Have a wonderful evening!
Oh no, jury duty! Maybe you'll be lucky like my son--he was called for the first time today. He watched tv(Hallmark Channel) until lunch with the other chosen ones, then they all got dismissed because the cases were settled out of court!
I'd love to win those books!
I follow your blog through my second blog, MiMi's Mini Tales because it's on blogger. However, I usually comment under my first blog. I know...I'm strange that way!
