False. I leave the holiday decorations up until about January 10th. When my parents got married January 8, 1949, the large Christmas tree in the church was still up, and many of their wedding photos captured that tree, along with the bridesmaids in red velvet and of course the bride in white. Every year after that, my parents left their tree up for their anniversary and took it down January 9. I've always observed the same tradition, even though both Mom and Dad are long gone.

Next poster is hoping for a White Christmas.
Hoping, but probably not getting. I will be in CT and the current predictions are for the mid-60s on Christmas Eve and Day!

The next poster: is giving at least one book to someone for the holidays.

Nope, I installed a Little Free Library in front of my house, so, the neighbors/friends can help themselves. Business is brisk in the Science Fiction and Occult areas. So few people of the family circle have the love of reading that I have, so it is strictly gift cards all around.

Next poster: Has used a Free Little Library.
True. One of my next-door neighbors actually put one in front of their house. smiling smiley

The next poster has either already seen the new Star Wars movie or plans to see it sometime in the next two weeks.
No, I can wait until the library gets it. I am hoping to see Krampus though.
Next poster: Already knows what change they will make in their life for next year.
False. The youngest attendee at our family celebration just turned two years old.

Next poster is having unseasonably warm weather for December.

True, we are having unseasonably warm weather for December. Usually we have at least some snow on the ground at Christmas-time. Today it is supposed to be 65 degrees...I think we got teleported to Florida!

Next poster has not started their Christmas shopping yet.

Shopping across Indiana but mostly around Indianapolis.
False. Gifts are finished. Holuday foods are nearly ready. Yum.....

False, but I am guessing you do - please share. I have had rum balls, but never a rum cake.

The next poster owns a large collection of gloves, hats and scarves. (In AZ I have only one set.)
False, I keep losing them! I'm in Wisconsin and luckily found a pair under the car seat this morning. 28 degrees, 45 mph wind, snow/sleet mix. Yuck. Did one job before abandoning ship until tomorrow.
Next poster: Is thinking of retiring someplace warm.
False. I prefer a more temperate climate.

The next poster has built a snowman this year.
False. All of our precipitation has been in the form of rain. (I read this morning that it it had been snow we'd have somewhere between 70"-120". I was very thankful).

Next poster still has Christmas leftovers in their refrigerator.

False. We do a nontraditional seafood Christmas dinner and my mother in law got to the crab meat I was saving to make sushi the next day with before I could. One day, I will achieve my goal of making sushi with real crab meat and not krab. It's good but I think of krab as the hot dogs of the sea!

The next poster has swanky plans all set up for New Year's Eve.

Doing what I can to enhance the life of my family! I LOVE what I do smiling smiley

False. I did not make a New Year's Resolution. However, I did make plans for changes that will happen throughout this year. The change process is going well!

Next poster will celebrate more than 4 holidays this year.

Who said so? Why did they say it?!
True! My birthday is in early September. When I was about 7, I realized that it often coincided with the Jewish New Year AND the start of the school year. I thought it very wise of Jews to start the new year "on" my birthday and have taken a bit of celebratory action each Jewish New Year ever since. I also celebrate Bastille Day and Junetenth (Freedom Day), plus Christmas, New Year, July 4th and Labor Day.

Next poster: has attended a Tet parade or celebration gathering.
