Secret Santa quiz

I put together a few questions to get the ball rolling so when the time comes, us Santas will have some clues. No need to answer these questions with a particular item in mind, just answer.

Please start with your LIW name and your age.

1 - Do you celebrate Christmas and/or another holiday? If so, which?

2- Are you a 'knick knack' person? If so, do you collect particular things or you do you just generally collect things that you like.

3 - Do you read a lot? Books (fiction, non fiction, etc..) or are you more a magazine person?

4 - What are your most current hobbies/passions/interests?

5 - If you had to use one word to describe your 'style' - what would it be?

6- If you had to use one word to describe what is NOT your 'style' -what would that be?

************************************

Please feel free to add your own questions. (and to keep things organized in here - when answering new questions, please edit your old response)

Re: Secret Santa quiz

LIW name & age – dubliner – 34

I celebrate Christmas, though hubby is Jewish. We celebrate Chanukah with his folks, but it’s all about Christmas

I’m really not a knick knack person, except maybe for photo’s, which I have a lot of and many framed ones, in different finishes and sizes (though never more than 4*6 or 5*5).

I am an avid reader, and average a book and a half per week. I usually decide by page 75 to finish the book or not. Favourite authors are Jodi Piccoult, Alice Hoffman, and most of the English / Irish writers. I have a few magazine subscriptions, but they are just for R&R at home

Hobbies/passions/interests – Love to cook & entertain, just starting to scrapbook (though I have no idea how I will like it), I play a lot of golf - weather permitting!! Used to exercise a lot – kickboxing and weights and hope to get into it again soon

What my style? In the home – Somewhat conservative (I think), earthy tones (if that makes sense), strong bold lines, soft / luxurious fabrics
For me – also conservative, more relaxed than formal

Whats not my style? - Definitely not flowery, fuffy, pastelly
