The Christmas Tag!

Some questions about my favourite time of year and my very first tag!

When do you start getting excited for Christmas?

Usually, around mid-October I begin to get super excited about festivities and at the end of November I start to look forward to the day itself.

Do you still have advent Calendars?

Absolutely!! In fact, this year I have three (very greedy of me, I know). To me chocolate tastes that much better out of a little window in an advent calendar...

What are some of your favourite Christmas films?

I adore The Polar Express, Elf, Home Alone and The Nativity but to be honest I love all of the festive films I've watched. Like most Christmas films, they are definitely feel-good movies.

Do you open your presents on Christmas Eve or Christmas Morning?

Christmas morning of course! I always have and I probably always will!

Do you like to stay in your PJs or dress up for Christmas day?

I like to stay in my PJs for the whole morning whilst I eat breakfast and present-opening commences, then I dress up a little and do my makeup all pretty for Christmas lunch.

What is your favourite Christmas song?

Without a doubt my favourite is I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday. It brings back wonderful childhood memory's and it's just brilliant! I also really like Fairytale of New York, Merry Christmas Everybody and Merry Christmas, Kiss My Ass.

Real or fake Christmas tree?

I definitely prefer real Christmas trees, I think they are much prettier than false ones but I've never actually had a real one which saddens me. Decorating the tree is good fun but it's not the same with a fake tree and the fragrance of a real Christmas tree is unbeatable.

Have you ever had a White Christmas?

Annoyingly, no I haven't. In all the films it snows on Christmas morning and its all perfect but I've not experienced the beauty of a white Christmas...

Any Christmas traditions?

Yes! On Christmas Eve I always watch a festive film before I go to bed. It started when I was very young and I have carried on the tradition.


That's it for now, I hope you enjoyed another Christmassy post from me!

The Best Thing About Christmas






The best thing about Christmas will obviously be different for each Christmas enthusiast; there's the decorations, the advent calendars, Christmas songs, festive films, jumpers with Santa's face emblazoned on them and not forgetting the presents (I could go on and on and on). However cheesy it may seem, for me, the best thing about Christmas is giving presents to my nearest and dearest. It makes me really, really happy.

I cannot wait to give my presents this year, I love to see my friends faces as they open their gifts and I've set myself a new record! All my gifts bought and wrapped by December 14th, not bad eh?
Aside from giving presents I also love being with my family at Christmas and, like most people, I enjoy eating more than my body weight in Christmas food!

The one bad thing about Christmas is that we only get one day to truly celebrate it, then again this means we get to push the boat out and make our celebrations incredibly special...

Christmas is my favourite time of year, I always enjoy it and I hope you enjoy it too. Have a very Merry Christmas everyone!!  <3
