Do.
Go caroling?
Some days you battle yourself and other monsters. Some days you just make soup.
Do not. Wish I did, but alas...
Eat dried fruits?
We have nothing, if not belief.
—C.S. Lewis
Do! My favorite is dried mango!
Eat nuts in the shell? (After removing the shell, of course!)
Love God, love people
Do. But not Macadamia nuts, which need a hammer to shell them, and are nicer bought already shelled in a packet.
Find there is never enough time before Christmas to get everything done?
Do!
Enjoy putting puzzles together?

But our hearts we lost - how long ago! -- G. K. Chesterton
Do!
Nap during the day?
Love God, love people
Do not! Naps make me disoriented and even more tired for the rest of the day. I'd much rather muddle through, even if I'm exhausted, and go to bed earlier.
Keep Christmas decorations up past New Years?
We have nothing, if not belief.
—C.S. Lewis
Do. The expert Christmas tree putter upper takes forever to put up a plastic already lighted Christmas tree, and isn't to be nagged about taking it down again a few days later.
Stay up till midnight on New Year's Eve?
Do. That, however, is more indicative of my regular sleeping habits than anything else.
Have a party to welcome in the New Year?
We have hands that fashion and heads that know,
But our hearts we lost - how long ago! -- G. K. Chesterton
Do, though our partying is getting more laid back as we get older.
Go ice fishing?
But all night, Aslan and the Moon gazed upon each other with joyful and unblinking eyes.
I've never done it but I would try it!
Go bird watching?
Love God, love people
Do, as an activity with friends who are avid birders. I'd be less keen to do it alone, except as part of a nature hike or other outdoor activity.
Get up (or stay awake!) in the wee hours to watch a total lunar eclipse?
But all night, Aslan and the Moon gazed upon each other with joyful and unblinking eyes.
Do and have done so before many years ago when I was little. I haven't in a while, but I'd definitely love to again. In that regard, it'd certainly be staying up for it. You will not wake me once I've snuggled into bed no matter how tempting the occasion.
Keep Christmas cards from loved ones?
We have nothing, if not belief.
—C.S. Lewis
Do.
Feed the birds?
Love God, love people
Do. (And I'd definitely say a hearty YES to 'gazer's and Quinlin's questions too, just fyi. )
Sit with proper posture at the computer?
