You WANT to Read This Post!

What better way to get in the Christmas spirit than taking a Christmas survey??? Okay, I can actually think of many better ways, but it's rather painless and it helps me out.

I want to play "Christmas Family Feud" at our Christmas party on the 21st. This particular party is one we have had for the last 11 years. It began as a "Story Night Party" where we centered the evening around the reading of Christmas books to our young children. We mixed in good food & the occasional craft & caroling, and have kept it going for all these years. We have come to the realization, however, that our kids have grown--it is time to evolve. So this year, "Story Night" will become "Game Night". A game of Christmas Family Feud will be just the right addition to our new tradition.

Anyhoo, you know how family feud works..."100 people surveyed, top 6 answers on the board..." Therefore, I NEED to survey 100 people!! I sent out many emails and the surveys started coming back within minutes. I thought, "This is awesome! I am going to have NO problem surveying 100 people!!" However, things slowed significantly and I have remained at 50 surveys for two days now! That means I still have 50 surveys to go for heaven's sake!!! So now I am appealing to your sense of fun, your desire to be a part of a Christmas tradition, or at least your sense of pity. Could you help me out here?

What I want you to do is read over the questions and either email me the answers or put them into your comments. I'm sure Santa has better presents for those who compassionately help out crazy people that take on silly projects at the busiest time of the year. For those of you who have already responded, thank you very much!!! If you have a split personality, feel free to take it twice.

1. Name a store people traditionally shop the day after Thanksgiving.

2. Name something that is traditionally eaten Christmas day.
