Show us a video that cracks you up.
Pickle, my cat, imitating a statue while we were doing some spring cleaning. I don't know what got her attention, but this clip makes me laugh every time I see it.
Sweet cat.
What are some of your favorite holiday traditions?
Submitted by sami711.
I know some people who like to have a sunbed treament beforehand, but I don't - the kind of places I go don't tend to involve baring too much skin anyway.
I definitely get some new books - even if Im halfway through something before I go, I don't want to take it with me, so I try and polish it off and embark on something new in a new place.
I make sure that I've charged my camera batteries and have enoough memory cards.
I also cancel the milk and leave a cheque for the catsitter.

What song gives you the most holiday cheer?
Submitted by Roxy.
I think probably the one which a lot of people will mention responding to this question: Holiday, by Madonna.
It's so cheerful and light and playful. How can anyone not be in a holiday mood when they hear it?
When do you start your holiday shopping?
Submitted by Murphy.
Well, I'm probably going to do a bit of research about going to New Zealand early next year, so I'll call the travel agent and start sorting things out next week, I expect. Then I should think I'll start buying things for the holiday - sun lotion, reading matter, hat, that sort of thing - a few weeks before we go. January or so. Why do you ask?
Oh, wait. I see what I've done there.

What's your favorite Thanksgiving dish? What's your favourite Girl Scout cookie?
Don't want to be a curmudgeon, but I'm not American. Blogging isn't American. Not everyone is. Not everyone cares.
Getting a little tired of all the 'merkin questions - though I guess that says more about populus these days than proposition.
Grr.
Show us what autumn looks like where you live.
Submitted by Miss Parker.
Autumn in the city isn't so photogenic.
Autumn a short drive away, however, is a different matter entirely...
Show us a great smile.
Show us something pink.
