Hi everyone. Another Wednesday, yay! I’m joining in with the Wednesday HodgePodge. Here goes.
1. Did you do more talking or more listening yesterday? Was it by choice or by necessity?
Talking. Honestly, even though I’m an introvert, I talk more than I listen generally. Maybe that technically makes me an ambivert, who knows?
2. Are you a tea drinker? Hot, cold, or both? Flavored? What do you like in your tea? Do you make Christmas tea this time of year? What time of day do you like to sip your tea?
I’m more of a coffee lover but I do drink tea occasionally. Usually hot. I mostly drink plain green tea, although I like some flavored green teas too, like coconut or cranberry. Nothing in my tea please. I’ve never made Christmas teas and have no idea what makes a tea specifically a Christmas tea. I usually drink my tea in the afternoon or evening.
3. What’s an activity you won’t try, an event you won’t attend, or an athletic challenge you won’t take part in not even for “all the tea in China”?
Marathon running. That is, most likely I will never run more than 100m at all and that can barely be considered running.
4. What’s something most people seem to love but is not “your cup of tea”?
Starbucks. And yes, I thought of that before I’d read Joyce’s answer. Like I said before, I went there twice and thought I sort of liked it the first time (because everyone apparently does). The second time though, both I and my spouse decided we definitely weren’t coming back.
Oh and romance novels. I am not sure whether I haven’t found the right kind yet but I think they’re all horribly cheesy, shallow and predictable, and it’s not like I need lots of twists in a book otherwise.
5. How does your family celebrate New Year’s Eve?
Uhm, we don’t? That is, as far as I know my spouse isn’t expecting me to come to our house for the occasion. Last year, though I did spend New Year’s Eve in Lobith, we went to bed before midnight.
6. Insert your own random thought here.
I want to share some good news: my one-on-one got renewed! I don’t know any details yet, but according to my staff everything will stay the same with respect to my care.
A Multitude of Musings 
That’s good news about your care staying the same. I put down Marathon on my answer, too. We are not into stopping at Starbucks, either. Have a great day!

What does make a tea Christmassy?
Possibly some of the same things that make a tea wintry.
[for example: ginger tea seems very seasonal to me].
Being a -vert is where you source and get your energy.
Last New Year’s I stayed up to the last minute before midnight [ie: 2359].
I danced to Amy Shark and Tones and I and there were fireworks.
The first days of January 2023 I went to bed fairly late too.
Other New Years I’ve gone to movies – for example in 2020 there was LITTLE WOMEN – the Greta Gerwig version.
2021 was the year of language lessons on Duolingo – eg: Scots and Irish Gaelic; Swahili and later on Yiddish.
Had never thought to “flavour” green tea!
Though anything -berry in it also seems very Christmassy.
[though cranberry is more a Harvest/autumn flavour].
Loved your answers to the idiom questions!
{ALL THE TEA IN CHINA and NOT YOUR CUP OF TEA}.

I always say if I’m running it’s because someone is chasing me, otherwise no thank you : ) I’m so glad for your good news. A nice way to end the year.

Thank you so much for your kind comment. I’m pretty sure I couldn’t even run if someone were chasing me LOL.
