What dish do you look forward to making at Christmas?
Susan: “I enjoy using the Christmas hambone for seasoning a big pot of beans at New Year’s.”
Bill: “Chocolate fudge! This you should trick up with tinsel, glitter and big red bows.”
What is the best gift you’ve ever gotten?

Bill: “The best wife, parents and children! No wrapping necessary, no tinsel, no glitter, no big red bows.”
Are you naughty or nice?
Susan: “As Doug, Bill seems pretty nice; as Julie, I still feel naughty sometimes.”
