Yes. He recorded himself telling a story 

You have many of those old-fashioned photo albums of yesteryear

[Angharad]

(I'm glad!)

No. I was never good at taking photos.

You have portraits (photo or otherwise) of your parents somewhere in your home.

[Westerly_2]

No, sadly. Mom did something with them and doesn't remember. I do have one of her. My dad died young 

YYou had portraits of some of your children done and hand-colored in oils. (That was the thing back then. Tinted in oils. John's dad did this for a living).

[Angharad]

No. I just had 1 child. He died before his 6th birthday and I'd never thought of it. Cool that John's dad was an artist!

You have a locket with the picture of a loved one in it. (I do.) 

[Westerly_2]

(So sad. I'm sorry). Mom had an oil done of me and my brother. My cheeks were a lovely shade of peach, lol.

Yes I did.

YOU still have your college class ring, or some other keepsake from there.

[Angharad]

Nope.

No.

You will have eggnog around Christmas.

[Westerly_2]

Probably. Thanksgiving too.

You dislike many kinds of fruitcake, but there is one you like.  ( I like one from the Vermont country store)

[Angharad]

I do! I have a light fruitcake recipe with fresh fruit (cherries, pineapple, etc.).

Your mom always had a bowl of that thick ribbon candy around during the holidays.

[Westerly_2]

She did. Sometimes tied pieces to braches of the tree with ribbon 

You got tangerines and nuts in your stocking. 

[Angharad]

We did! An orange, an apple, a tangerine, and nuts--our stockings were an actual full-length lisle stocking. I carried on the tradition.

My mother's stocking on her last (90th) Christmas.

Your stocking was sometimes your favorite thing.
