So…what is the Monday Poll?
Excellent question! It isn’t, contrary to its name, an actual poll, like with little clicky buttons. It’s just a list of more or less random questions I’ve been posting on this blog every Monday morning for the past quadrillion years (since 2007).
1. Have you finished your holiday shopping?
Have I even started holiday shopping yet? LOL! I’m really behind this year.
2. How early is too early to put your pajamas on in the evenings?
I feel like anything before 4pm is a little too early because there’s technically still light out. Any time after 4 is acceptable, though, since the sun sets around 4:50-ish around these parts now.
3. Something you’d like as a stocking stuffer?
I could use a few new beauty tools, like nail clippers, tweezers and the like. It’s time for a refresh, methinks.
4. Something creative you enjoy?
Even though I haven’t been hanging out here on MBB as much, I still really enjoy the creative side of writing.
5. Do you prefer colorful holiday lights or white holiday lights?
We’ve been doing white lights in our tree for the last couple of years because that’s what I have that works, although I do appreciate colorful lights, too.

1. Have you finished your holiday shopping?
Not entirely
2. How early is too early to put your pajamas on in the evenings?
Probably 6 or 7 🙃 I usually put them on when I feel like I’m done for the day and need to lie down and get comfy.
3. Something you’d like as a stocking stuffer?
I’ve never put stockings out, so we don’t do the stockings gifts before Xmas. Honestly, leading up to Xmas I’m just trying to get the house clean/in functional condition so stockings would just be more clutter for me. In fact, I haven’t put up a tree either for a few years now. But anyway, I feel a good stocking stuffer would be a nice lipbalm.
4. Something creative you enjoy?
A few decades ago I would’ve said singing. Don’t do much of that anymore. Writing, maybe.
5. Do you prefer colorful holiday lights or white holiday lights?
White.
Happy Holidays 🌹
1. Have you finished your holiday shopping?
I have no one but myself to buy for, so this doesn’t really apply to me.
2. How early is too early to put your pajamas on in the evenings?
6:00. Eating dinner in pajamas would be kind of weird, though.
3. Something you’d like as a stocking stuffer?
Chocolate candy, like Millionaires or Caramello.
4. Something creative you enjoy?
Drawing, painting, needle art kits. I can also knit and crochet.
5. Do you prefer colorful holiday lights or white holiday lights?
Colored. However, the white ones have the advantage of not looking weird when they’re left up all year (as some restaurants around here do).
1. Have you finished your holiday shopping? No 🤪…Very behind this year
2. How early is too early to put your pajamas on in the evenings? 6-7 😐 (it really is catchy🤣)
3. Something you’d like as a stocking stuffer? MAC Squirts – I like these…but kinda expensive for what they are
4. Something creative you enjoy? I am not very creative. Does makeup count?
5. Do you prefer colorful holiday lights or white holiday lights? Colorful!!!
1. Have you finished your holiday shopping?
I’m not doing any this year, so…yes?
2. How early is too early to put your pajamas on in the evenings?
Um, 3 or 4PM, which technically isn’t evening at all.
3. Something you’d like as a stocking stuffer?
Jewelry!
4. Something creative you enjoy?
Photography brings me joy.
5. Do you prefer colorful holiday lights or white holiday lights?
White lights.
1. Have you finished your holiday shopping? I bought a few things before Thanksgiving knowing I’d be in Japan for two weeks with Dear Husband who had to be there for work. Still need to finish up and find shipping boxes for a few things.
2. How early is too early to put your pajamas on in the evenings? Anytime before bedtime. Occasionally I’ll put them on after cleaning up the dinner mess to watch TV in.
3. Something you’d like as a stocking stuffer? Japanese lip balm, sunscreen or cosmetics.
4. Something creative you enjoy? Drawing and painting.
5. Do you prefer colorful holiday lights or white holiday lights? I like both. The more the merrier. I really like how creative the “Winter Illuminations” are in Tokyo.
