1. What is your favorite movie to watch at Christmas?

2. If you’re going out to dinner, what sort of restaurant are you most likely to go to and what will you eat?

3. Do you have a favorite pair of shoes? What color and style are they?

I thought I’d give you my answers…

My favorite movie to watch at this time of year is Die Hard 1. I love the characters, the action and the Christmas music, and I usually wander around doing quotes from the script for a week after rewatching this movie. *grin* The movie Love Actually comes a close second to Die Hard.

I adore Italian food, and it’s usually easy for me to get something vegetarian at an Italian restaurant. Pasta, pizza, salad. It’s all good!

My favorite shoes are a comfortable pair of black running shoes. I hurt my right ankle earlier this year, and these are the shoes that the physio recommended. He wasn’t wrong.

I’m looking forward to reading your answers. Good luck with the contest.

    Hmm, which question to answer. I guess all.

    I don’t have a specific favourite Christmas movie, I just like re-watching old favourites, which is a huge variety.

    If I’m picking a restaurant it’s going to be Italian like you, but I’m going to get something with meat and I rarely know what I’m getting until I’m ordering because there is so many options.

    And sadly my favourite shoes at the moment are my work ones. I’m on my feet all day and they are just so comfy.

    1. What is your favourite movie to watch at Christmas?
    Well now, this is a very difficult question for me to answer – there are just so many great films, and my favourites change depending on my mood at the time! Off the top of my head – Love, Actually; Avatar; Overboard; Ghost; Sister Act; Trading Places; Star Wars (eps IV, V & VI); Scrooged; The Breakfast Club; Despicable Me…I could go on all day!

    2. If you’re going out to dinner, what sort of restaurant are you most likely to go to and what will you eat?
    If I’m going out with hubby it’s usually a fish/seafood restaurant (I love octopus and sardines, despite being allergic to Iodine) or Indian (lamb passanda, yum!); if I’m out with friends it tends to be cheap & cheerful, eg. Pizza Hut or a pub chain -I love pizza and pub grub!

    3. Do you have a favourite pair of shoes? What color and style are they?
    I DO have a favourite pair of shoes…a black, snakeskin-effect pair of 4inch ‘Fcuk Me’ stilettos that make me feel sexy and world-conquering, with the added benefit of my legs looking longer…hear me roar! lol

    My favorite movie this time of year is Donovan’s Reef. It’s an old John Wayne Christmas movie I used to watch with my Dad, he loved his movies.

  16. REBECCA FOLEY

    1. My favorite Xmas movie is Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer.
    2. If I get to eat out, my restaurants of choice are low end due to no money and I am not a fancy person. To me dining is not an experience, it is to eat and get on with my day.
    3. Favorite pair of shoes would be my flip flops.

  17. Babs Hightowet

    My favorite movie to watch is The Christmas Carol each year we watch it. The tradition started when I was young.

  22. Mae Carr

    1. My favorite Christmas Movie is about the Savior’s Birth.

    2. My favorite place to go out to eat is Ruby Tuesday because they have an awesome salad bar that comes with the meal and you don’t have to pay some ridiculous price to get a decent salad. Most places all you get is a bunch of lettuce.

    3. My favorite pair of shoes have got to be flip flops. I have more flip flops on than anything else. My husband calls me the Flip Flop Queen!! I know they are not good for your feet, but I still like them. I just wish l could wear them in the winter, l’d even in good shape!!!

  25. Tina Jones

    1. Favorite Christmas movie…
    Animated: Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
    Non-Animated: The Holiday
    Non-Traditional: Edward Scissorhands

    2. Depends on my mood, really. If I want Chinese, I hit a mom & pop restaurant on the next block & always order Shrimp Egg Foo Yung.
    If I want Mexican, either Ground Beef Stuffed Sopapillas smothered in a Green Chile sauce -or- I’ll order ground beef gorditas.
    If we go to a diner type place that serves breakfast 24/7 ~> Strawberry Belgium Waffle.

    3. To me, shoes are a necessity, not an accessory. So, nearly 10 months out of the year, I’m in a pair of plan $5 black wedge flip flops. But when it’s cold or wet, I’ll throw on something better to protect my feet.

    Hope you had a wonderful thanksgiving and are ready for Christmas! Thank you for the chance!

    Dinner: Chinese food
    Shoes: :( can only wear sneakers due to physical challenges, how I miss the huarache sandals from the Farmer’s Market in LA

  43. clynsg

    My favorite movie at Christmas time switches between the first Home Alone and Die Hard.
    For dinner-we have a local Chinese restaurant that has a marvelous buffet spread. It is not as cost effective for me as it is for my grandsons (they can eat a LOT!!), but the food is very good.
    3. My favorite shoes are a bright orange pair of sneakers that I won in an online contest. The only time I don’t pick them up first to wear is when they really clash with my outfit.

  44. teresa roberts

    2. If you’re going out to dinner, what sort of restaurant are you most likely to go to and what will you eat?

    I like a nice big salad with fried chicken strips cut up and honey mustard dressing. It so much trouble to make at home (I’m the only salad eater at the house) so I freq. treat myself to a big salad when we eat out…

  45. Mary Lynne Townsend

    My favorite Christmas movie is The Lemon Drop Kid starring Bob Hope.
    If we go out, it would probably be to my granddaughter’s favorite Mexican restaurant and I would have either veggie nachos or veggie fajitas.
    My favorite shoes are a pair of leather flip flops that my husband bought for me about 10 years ago.

  46. Toni Petersen

    1. My favorite movie to watch at Christmas is It’s A Wonderful Life. It gets me every time! And, after I watch it, I’m always listening for bells and saying, “oh, another angel got his wings!”
    2. If we go out to eat, my favorite place to go is Panda Express! I love, love, love their Walnut Shrimp! I get double every time! Yummm…
    3. Okay, IF I had my druthers, I’d go barefoot, but as I live in Arizona and can’t because of the hot cement, my favorite pair of shoes during the summer is a pair of good ole flip flops! However, during the winter months, I live in a pair of running shoes (even though I don’t run)!

  47. Amanda

    Do you have a favorite pair of shoes? What color and style are they?

    I love shoes (next to books, probably where most of my disposable income goes). I’m lucky enough to live in an area that allows me to wear sandals most of the year (yep, even today!), so most of my shoes are sandals of some sort.

    My current go-to pair of shoes is Dana by Naot. The cork sole is really comfortable, and they’re easy to slip on/kick-off since I don’t wear shoes in the house.

  48. Jana Leah

    I love to watch Home Alone. Thanks for the chance.

  49. Lisa E. Dowd

  50. Tara shimmel

    . What is your favorite movie to watch at Christmas?

    How Sarah got her wings. Makes me see nobody’s perfect and everyone has flaws. But we should do right by others. Not everyone is able to have a vp card to get that special seat. It’s ok to work and fix past relationships

    2. If you’re going out to dinner, what sort of restaurant are you most likely to go to and what will you eat?

    Outback steakhouse. I LOVE reading meat. It’s good and healthier then McDonald’s. And that’s a once in a while thing I can allow since I’m trying to loose weight.

    3. Do you have a favorite pair of shoes? What color and style are they?

    Black and teal tennis shoes. I’m on my feet all day and work a lot. So comfy and stylish
