Of the words listed which ONE would you say should be in the number 1 spot? Which word/phrase on this list would you be happy to never hear again?
Several of these I have not heard. I'd go with pandemic for the number 1 spot.
I would be okay with not hearing "Black Lives Matter." I'm not sure that concept now means what it was originally intended to mean. That's just my take on what I've seen and heard.
2. What one word from your own list of words describing this year sums up/best reflects your 2020? Tell us why.
It's a phrase we have said over and over (and over and over). "I don't understand." I remember saying this in the camper when we were at the state park during spring break and they said we weren't coming back to school until Wednesday the next week. They they changed it to a couple weeks and then it got changed to the rest of the school year. We have said "I don't understand" about so many different things this year....the election, the virus, family situations.
In my mind I don't understand so many things but I do have comfort in the fact I don't have to know it all or have everything figured out. That has been a big lesson for me this year.
3. Do you like peppermint? Peppermint mocha, a candy cane, peppermint bark, peppermint tea, York Peppermint Pattie, peppermint ice cream...of the peppermint treats listed, which one is your favorite? Will you bake anything featuring peppermint this holiday season?
I like peppermint. I like to get them in my Sonic bag! My favorite thing is at least once in the season to get the chocolate chip peppermint shake from Chick fil a.

I can't think of anything I would bake that included peppermint this holiday season.
4. Besides Christmas, what do you associate the color red with? How about the color green?
I associate hearts and Valentine's Day with the color red. For the color green I think of grass or leaves.
5. Is your tree up? Real or artificial? Is your house decorated? Is your shopping done? Started? Wrapped? On a scale of 1-10 with 1 being Scrooge-like and 10 being Buddy the Elf, how's your Christmas spirit?
No we do not have our tree yet. We get a real tree. It was a tradition we did when I was a little girl. I've thought about getting an artificial one but we haven't yet. The house is not decorated yet. We got some of the decorations out of the shed. Titus was very excited to put the blow ups in the yard!
I have done quite a bit of my shopping. Nothing is wrapped yet. I love having the packages coming to the door from my onilne orders.
I did not feel very festive for a while but I am more now.

Oh...that's a good one "I don't understand". That is so nice that you could get those shirts done. Where there is a will there is a way! We've always gotten a real tree and this year is our first year for a fake one. Thankfully we got a super deal on it. Happy December too you!
Oh I am so with you on those Chick-fil-a peppermint milkshakes. Just don't look at the calories!! I have my husband order one and I have a few sips which is still good. Enjoy your day!
I find it very hard to understand so many issues these days. So much controversy it mind-boggling. :) How nice it must be to work with young children. I love being with my great grands, they are so refreshing.
Love your answer "I don't understand". Yes.
Ellen and I are the same--first year with a fake tree.
The decorated shirts sounds like a fun project--glad you got to help with it.
Have a good week1
I'm late to the party! Pandemic definitely relates to this year. True, I don't understand much either. I said Valentines day but I didn't think about grass, good answer. Your random sounds like fun.
