Do you sing Christmas carols? Do you go to see caroling or listen to Christmas music?
I do listen to carols on my iPad. Mostly older versions with crooners from the 50’s and 60’s as that what I heard growing up. Listen to jazz instrumental versions too.

Do you make your own holiday traditions.

Jocks and Heads at our school. There was an actual knife fight once. But, no one wielded a knife.

I love listening to Christmas music! I annoy my family with it in the morning lol.

Do you have cats?

Have your cats ever knocked your Christmas tree down?

In the past, new year 2009, a cat climbed the Christmas tree but he did not knock it down.

Currently, though, I do not have pets.

If you have cats, more than 1, are they friendly with one another?

I used to foster cats. But the ones I fostered were sick and needed neb treatment or other meds. They all kept to themselves. Then I adopted Sir. He kept sitting on the others so I had to stop fostering. He got along fine with the other cats at the shelter but once in his forever home he didn’t want to share me. It was his house! lol

Do you have pets of any kind?

Yes. Two black cats, two and five, named Stella and Binx. They are TROUBLE! Lol. We just adopted Stella because Binx was lonely after our cat of twenty years passed away. She came from a hoarders home where the woman had 130 cats! Now Binx is much happier. The two are buddies.

Same question.

130 cats! I think this qualifies for a Guinness record!

Two black cats, wow! Halloween all year long.

I currently do not have pets. In the past, yes, canines, felines, rodents of various kinds.

A narrower question: have you ever had a fish tank?

Yes. A Siamese fighter fish. He did great until I added other fish.

Would you go vegetarian or have you ever thought of going vegetarian to save animals?

Saving the animals is a great thought to becoming vegetarian, but I haven't thought of it myself.

Have you thought about maybe starting a diet for the new year?

A: i'm considering it. I recently gained 15 lbs and I'd like to lose it ASAP.

Q: How long do you normally stick to a new years resolution?

Before my pdoc switched me from Haldol to clozaril (that was a disaster) so about two years ago now.

What do you most want for Christmas?

Oh, I also vape by the way. I don't consider it smoking either, but I'm still a nicotine junkie.

Do you prefer summer or winter clothes?

I hope you get your clean biopsy for Christmas!

I prefer autumn clothes: boots, long coats, colorful leather jackets. I wear them in winter because our winter in NoCal is like autumn.

What do you consider "self-care"?

I honestly don't know anymore! Stable? Slightly paranoid. Not sleeping the greatest.

Same question.

Only once, at age 26. My then new, now ex-husband gave me one to try. I started coughing and could not figure out the skill of smoking. Could not properly inhale. I have never tried again and when I used marijuana for sleep, I used edibles (or drinkable mango lassi) because I knew I would not be able to smoke, nor did I want to damage my lungs.

If you have children: have you ever tried something that you would not want your children know that you have tried?
