All done. Bagged and under the tree. Just awaiting a last minute family gift.
Have you sent out your Christmas cards?

No tree. I do have a beautiful electric ceramic tree with colored birds but my table has my birthday flowers on it. There are a large pine and pine cone arrangement with white and red flowers. Very Christmasy . There isn’t any other place to put it. I do have a wreath on my door and Star led lights in the window. I did get a tiny live pine tree from the arbor association that came with gold ornaments. But I’ve no idea where to put it. I’m going to use it as a hostess gift Christmas Day. She can plant it in her huge yard.
Do you have too small of a place to decorate?

Yes, my place is tiny, so I have a tiny tree. No real decorations except maybe a cross on my door for protection.
Are you excited for this Christmas? Or is it just another day for you?

Pretty much a day of obligation. Not excited really. But I am looking forward to Christmas Eve. I’m looking forward to the grandkids opening their gifts. I think I did good this year. Looking forward to my daughter and her husband opening their gifts too. All I need to bring is wine.
Do holidays feel more like an obligation than a fun time?

With the anxiety and panic attacks Ive been having it feels like an obligation. I’m not having fun at all.
Have you ever bought yourself your own Christmas gift? |

No. One year in grad school I got money to buy a new computer that I desperately needed but that's s close as I've come.
Do you have to travel for the holidays?

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?

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?

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