Hodgepodge week 57

Wednesday again - time to hop over to Joyce's at From this Side of the Pond for the weekly 
hodgepodge.
1. Do you put Christmas decorations in every room of your house? If not every room, what rooms do you decorate?

I think I have something everywhere except the computer room.

2. If you could visit one of the Nordic countries (Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden) which one would you choose and why?

I'd love to see Iceland - it looks like a beautiful country.

3. What does the word faith mean to you?

Faith - believing in something without being able to see, hear, touch, smell, or taste it - just knowing it's there.

4. You can go back to your childhood for one day...what day and age would you choose?

I think any of the summer days spent with cousins at my grandmother's house would be nice.

5. When did you last have 'punch'? If it's not too much trouble share your favorite punch recipe.

Punch? Probably at my daughter's last "Miche" party. Can't think of a recipe off of the top of my head.

6. Do you fill stockings at your house? Are stockings opened before or after the bigger gifts?

I did when the kids were young but not any more. The stockings were always emptied first.

7. What takes your breath away?

Sonogram pictures of my first grandchild!

8. Insert your own random thought here.

Random thoughts - it's getting closer and closer to Christmas and it's getting harder and harder to come to work every morning. I am soooooooooooo ready for the Christmas break ( I get a whole 11 days off)!

  1. Sonograms are so amazing now...I never even had one with my second! Enjoy your time off : )

  2. Only the miracle of that child's birth will top your answer to #7. ;-)

    We always had a long break at work over Christmas - usually 10-12 days. I'd frequently take a couple of vacation days and stretch that into a full 2 weeks off. It was wonderful! ;-)

  3. Christmas vacation! When I worked we closed from Christmas Eve through New Years Day. I so looked forward to that time. Now retired, it's pretty much all Christmas vacation.

  4. How nice to get to have 11 days off. I would be ready to be off too.
    Seeing your grand child's picture is always magic.
    I know with each of mine my breath just stops.
    I never had a single ultra sound just heard the baby's heartbeat. That was magic too but getting to see it that is so nice.
    I hope you have a nice rest of the week.
