Merry Christmas everyone! Here's a holiday inspired quiz! 1. Favorite holiday movie 2. Do you celebrate Hanukkah? 3. Does your family put up a tree? If so, what is your favorite ornament? 4. Favorite Christmas music......MY ANSWERS: 1. Miracle on 34th Street 2. No, but I want to! 3. No, it's against my religion but I do like ornaments. 4.

“I don’t want a lot for Christmas, there is just one thing I need”…...Yes, Mariah Carey is definitely an iconic singer during the holidays. Thanks for replying! Merry (late) Christmas!!

and I don't care about the presents. Underneath the Christmas. I just want you for my own. More than you could ever know. Make my wish come true. Baby, all I want for Christmas is you!!!!! I love that song!

Wait, there's a religion where you can't put up a Christmas tree??? I'm Catholic, and we don't ever go all out, but I suppose we could if we wanted to.

Well, yeah, there is. I'm a Christain and my family found this verse in the Bible that sound not to cut down a tree and adorn it in silver and gold. So..... 😕 bye-bye Christmas tree.

This week's quote: "Be the change that you wish to see in the world.” Have a fabulous day/night!

Despite everything, I believe that people are really good at heart. I don't think of all the misery but of the beauty that still remains. No one has ever become poor by giving. Anne Frank quotes! Super inspiring! Whaddya think?

Oh my gosh! Anne Frank is super inspiration, even though she is Jewish, everyone should be treated equal, different races, different religons, so great quote!

IKR? Every time I learn something new about the Holocaust, I feel there's one more thing I could have done but didn't..

Oh gosh! Same! You are not only one here who felt like that, I`m sometimes feeling like that...

Amazing doesn't even begin to describe how amazing Anne Frank was! She is such an inspiration and I luv that quote. Thanks for sharing!

I have some music recommendations too. When books dont take me away, music does. So Daydream by Lily Menola Arcade by ?? Half of my hometown by Kelci Bellerini Stiches by Shawn Mendas Unstoppable by Sia Numb little Bug my Em Behold thats it! (BTW these are all clean)

I LOVE Em Beihold! Numb Little Bug is one of my favorite songs!

BTW, I really appreciate you saying that the songs are clean. That's really helpful! 😃

Of course! I remember seeing others that didn't specify and wanted to help!
