Oy! I went back to check, and there is a comma there - however, the juxtaposition of words could have been better on my part, lol!

1. WERE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE?

So many people don't now the meaning of their names. Bob is just Bob. But it actually means "Bright Fame". So I guess I was named after a fireplace.

I can tell you the colour I wouldn't want. Had to pick up a car from a dealer once to deliver for a customer. Emergency rush order!!!! The colour I was given was "Ocean Mist". None of the sales people knew what that was. Four of us spent 2 hours hunting around this car lot looking for "Ocean Mist" only to finally discover it was on another car lot. Ocean Mist? You'd think green or blue. Turned out to be beige. Why the heck couldn't they say BEIGE!!!!!

All year round baby. Start me up, I;m rarin' to go!!!!!

8. FAVOURITE HOLIDAY TRADITION?

My father will never forgive me but one year I ran a pool among all the relatives to guess when the annual Christmas fight between my mother and sister would begin. I recall my uncle Jim won.

Peeves. Gosh they're hard to clean up after.

This made me laugh...we play a gift game at Christmas where you are supposed to buy a gift that "several" people would like. My cousin once bought a piece of Under-armor in HIS size (no one else would be able to wear it)...after that every game since has been an attempt to ensure he gets the boobie gift. One year we stuck him with a giant sized Santa and he moped the rest of the night...so much for a fun "adult" gift exchange.

But these things really are what make the holidays great! Thanks for the reminder operabob.
