Saturday Six - Episode 87

Saturday Six for this week.

1. You're producing a school program for the holidays and you learn that there will be major objections if you include in your musical selections the traditional Christmas hymns that reference the "true meaning of Christmas." Assuming that there are secular tunes (like "Frosty the Snowman") already included in the program, what do you do with the hymns? Do you allow them to go as is, do you use the melody and rewrite the words, do you include as many pieces of music from other religions as possible, or do you remove all but the secular songs?
I'll deal with the objections. This year there seems to be so much talk about taking out the "true meaning of Christmas" out of everything but that's what I believe in, the true meaning of Christmas.

2. What percentage of your Christmas shopping is done at this point? When do you expect to have it finished if you haven't already finished?
Not much of mine is done. I usually wait until the last minute.

3. What was your favorite board game to play as a kid? Is it still your favorite now?
Does Chinese Checkers count as a board game? If not, Sorry was a favorite. I still like Sorry but card games have taken over now.

4. Take this quiz (if you haven't already!): What famous artist should paint your portrait?
Leonardo da Vinci should paint your portrait. You are a very mysterious person with a hidden depth. You are very smart and often find that few people understand you. You create a lot of talk wherever you go because of your strangeness - but people just want to know more about you.

5. How accurate is this quiz's description of you?
Only about 25% true.

6. If you could go back in time and have one more picture taken with a deceased loved one, who would you select and why?
It would definietly be my grandmothers. I don't think I took a picture with either one.
