Please Come Home for Christmas

Saturday 9: Please Come Home for Christmas (1992)

Welcome to Saturday: 9. What we've committed to our readers is that we will post 9 questions every Saturday. Sometimes the post will have a theme, and at other times the questions will be totally unrelated. Those weeks we do "random questions," so-to-speak. We encourage you to visit other participants posts and leave a comment. Because we don't have any rules, it is your choice. We hate rules. We love to answer the questions, however, and here is today's questions!

Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it here.

1) In this video, Jon Bon Jovi recalls decorating the tree with Cindy Crawford. They took turns wearing a Santa hat. Will anyone in your household be donning a Santa hat this season?  

Those days are long gone, Sadly.  Hubby used to play Santa at the Rockhound meetings.

2) He sings of the salutations he's received from friends and relatives. Have you received many holiday cards this year?   

We have only received two. If you don't send them you don't get them.

3) Will you wrap many presents? Or do you prefer to use gift bags? 

Our family doesn't exchange gifts anymore, though we DO go shopping the day after, but not since Covid got it's grip on the Nation's Throat.

 4) Jon Bon Jovi says he and Frank Sinatra are distant relatives. Do you believe that musicality is a genetic gift, or that it can be taught?  

I believe that musicality is an innate talent of all humane beings.  But, sadly few people have the time, money, or encouragement to develop it.  Obviously there are those who have more of it, or who display it earlier than others, but everyone has the capacity.

5) Jon is such a big Star Wars fan that he wrote a carol called "R2-D2: We Wish You a Merry Christmas." There a dozen Star Wars movies. How many have you seen?  

I think we've seen, likely...seven or eight of them. We own the first three. DH helped me out on this.

6) Jon once guest-starred as Carrie's love interest in an episode of Sex and the City, the popular HBO sitcom set in New York. The new reboot, And Just Like That, also centers around NYC life. Where does your favorite TV show take place?

I haven't got a favorite one.  I used to enjoy Major Dad, especially the episode where Dad comes in while his stepdaughters are having a sleep over and the girls all have green facials on.  They start screaming and he steps back in amusement and surprise and says, "Night Recon???"

7) Jon met his wife, Dorothea, when they were still in high school. Do you remember who you wanted to marry when you were in high school? No.  I never considered marrying in high school because I was headed for college. 

 

8) At Christmastime 1992, when this song was released, toys that tied into Disney's Little Mermaid were very popular. Have you purchased toys for anyone on your gift list this year?  No, not even for myself! lol

 

9) Jon recorded "Please Come Home for Christmas" to benefit The Special Olympics. Here's your chance to plug a cause or organization that's near and dear to you.

We donate monthly to the Humane Society. And that's really near and dear to me.  Wolfie was a pound rescue from when they were merging to two agencies. I'm so glad that we don't have a City pound anymore.
