First Christmas
Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it here.
1) The song mentions snowmen and snow on a windowpane. Has it snowed near you yet? yes--we got clobbered with a foot or so Wednesday night
2) Diane Keaton sings that hearing "I'll Be Home for Christmas" makes her miss someone she loved who won't be coming home at all. Is there a Christmas song that reminds you of a loved one? several songs remind me of family members--"We Need A Little Christmas" reminds me of my father

3) After the song was first released for Christmas 2024, Diane said she appreciated how many people posted on her Instagram, sharing their "First Christmas journeys," explaining how they navigated the first holiday season without a special someone. What have you recently posted on social media (other than this blog post)? my Christmas gnome manicure on Instagram
4) Diane appeared in the Broadway musical Hair and sang in movies like Annie Hall and The First Wives Club. Still she didn't consider herself "much of a singer." How about you? What's something you do, even though you're not completely comfortable doing it? I do not enjoy performing but I am a talented singer
5) This was Diane's first and, sadly, her only record. She was nervous doing it, but it helped that the lyrics was written by her friend, Carole Bayer Sager, and that both Carole and her writing partner, Jonas Myrin, were with Diane in the studio. Tell us about a friend who came through for you. my bestie is a problem-solver and go-getter! She is reliable in any situation.
6) After her 75th birthday, Diane said she was excited that new ventures were coming her way and she found herself saying "yes" more often. In addition to recording this week's song, she accepted an unexpected offer from Look Optic to design eyewear. Have you recently tried something you've never done before? OR What's something you'd like to try? I tried a recipe I've never made and a technique I was not familiar with and it was delicious (if I do say so myself)

Now for some questions about the holiday season ...
7) Do you display the holiday cards you receive? yes
8) This is a big time of year for necklaces, hats and headbands decorated with jingle bells. Will you be wearing any bells this season? no, no bells

9) The website Morning Save included these three items on their list of this season's popular gifts. Would you rather receive: a. cup holder/phone mount for your car; b. sherpa lined clog slippers; c. set of three stainless paring knives with rosemary green plastic handles? this is tough--I am waffling between a and c

I love the self confidence on display here. No false modesty about your singing or your cooking.
#9 I didn't find this one hard. My slippers are in horrible shape.
You need to post a photo of your Christmas nails on here! I just got mine done this week. They're a lovely darker green with silver glitter sparkling about halfway up each nail. I'm dying to see your gnomes!
