Have you ever returned a gift?  My 3rd grade grandaughter was given a rather expensive gold chain by one of her classemates and her mom had her return the gift with a nice thanks but no thanks note.

Do you have a favorite Folk Song.  Not a modern or popular song.  But a Folks Song that has been passed down from generation to generation.  Mine is On Top of Old Smokey.  What is yours?

Have you ever sent something to a member of the Armed Forces overseas for Christmas?  We do every year.      And we almost always get a nice thank you from the soldiers letting us know how much they appreciate our efforts.

Off-Topic / Secret Santa

« on: December 05, 2013, 12:01:30 am »Message ID: 825676

Have you ever been a Secret Santa?  I learned early on with the help of my parents who would contact a local orphanage and see what their greatest need was and I can remeber delivering a pickup truck full of blue jeans that had been sold to my parents for a deeply discounted price.  And the wisdom of my Dad as he told me that we were being a Secret Santa for all these kids who would probably appreciate haveing warm clothing for the winter so me and my big mouth suggested that we get them some coats.  Back to the store and with some more negotiations from my parents we delivered a pickup truck load of coats to the orphanage.  And this tradition has been passed on through me to my children as I know that my daughter is working with the local military groups to promote and work on the Toys for Tots program.

If you went shopping on Black Friday what was the best deal you bought?  Our family braved the crowds at Walmart and bought a 52 inch tv.  Good thing I had taken my pickup truck to haul the monstor to my daughters house.

What do you do with your Junk Mail?  In our community we have a paper recycling program so I just throw them in the box and when the box is full I haul them down to the recycle bin at the grade school.
