What is your approach to the Christmas shopping season?
I go Black Friday shopping. I will probably be up all night for that. I've been doing it since I was young with my grandma.
Have you gotten or will you get a flu shot?
I will not get a flu shot. I don't like needles, and I would rather not get flu-like symptoms like some people do from the shot.
How much time do you spend on social media?
I spend about half of my free time on social media. Since I'm down here for college, I use it to communicate with my family and friends. My great-grandmother is on Facebook.
What's on your Christmas wish list?
I guess the only thing on it is to be with my family and have a good time on Christmas.

What is your approach to the Christmas shopping season?
For the most part, I am finished with the shopping. I do some crafts, so I go to the craft show to get some ideas to see if there is anything I want to make for a gift.
Have you gotten or will you get a flu shot?
I haven't yet. I get one most of the time, but not every single year.
How much time do you spend on social media?
About all I do on social media is check up on the children once in a while to see what they're up to.
What's on your Christmas wish list?
My list is pretty brief. It's not about me, it's about the grandkids. I hope the things I get for them wind up being big hits with them.

What is your approach to the Christmas shopping season?
My husband and I totally do Black Friday shopping. We have a family Thanksgiving, and after poring over the newspapers and the Internet, we set out a plan of action and head out.
Have you gotten or will you get a flu shot?
I have gotten a flu shot. I work around a lot of students, and they're always sick, so I want to stay healthy. I get one every year.
How much time do you spend on social media?
I spend as little time as possible, maybe 10 minutes, and not every day. Sometimes I think if you spend too much time on it, you get desensitized to what is happening in the world.
What's on your Christmas wish list?
Peace on earth and goodwill toward men. With everything going on in this world, we need more peace.

What is your approach to the Christmas shopping season?
The store, social media. Anywhere there is a bargain, I am there.
Have you gotten or will you get a flu shot?
I got a flu shot about a month ago. I believe they are a necessary evil. They work for me.
How much time do you spend on social media?
I got on Facebook earlier this year, and I use it to promote my business. My family uses it, and I do in a limited way for that.
What's on your Christmas wish list?
I'm looking forward to helping my son and grandchildren next year.
