It's only 11 more days til Christmas!! SO, I thought I'd try and get my blog into the Christmas spirit for the first time thus far (whoops) and do the Christmas tag! I haven't been tagged to do this yet but y'all know how much I love a good tag so I guess I just took it upon myself.
1. What is your favourite Christmas Movie?
Quite a typical answer but I do absolutely love The Holiday, I normally end up watching it quite a few times over the Christmas period! I also love Love Actually, Little Women, and watching the Harry Potter films (especially the Philosopher's Stone) around Christmas time. I'm not sure if anyone else knows of this but there's normally this film called "the Ghost of Greville Lodge" that's on TV around Christmas time and I watch it every single year.
2. Do you open presents on Christmas Eve or Christmas morning?
When my sister and I were little, we'd be so excited for presents my mum sometimes used to let us open the smallest one on Christmas Eve but as I've gotten older I much prefer waiting until Christmas morning.
3. Do you have a favourite Christmas memory?
I'm not sure I really have a favourite Christmas memory. I remember one year when I was around 10 or 11 I spent Christmas Eve night at my aunt and uncle's house who are big into Monopoly and the three of us played all night. I'm sure that sounds like an absolute nightmare for anyone who hates Monopoly but I just remember it being so fun.
4. Favourite festive food?
I'm not hugely into festive food really, I don't really like Christmas pudding or mince pies or anything like that, though I do always really really look forward to Christmas dinner!
5. Favourite Christmas gift?
I've gotten loads of lovely presents over the years from friends and family though a present that sticks in my head was the Hunter wellies I got from my mum a couple of years ago.
6. Favourite Christmas scent?
This is quite an Irish-y thing I think, but I love the smell of a turf fire! Also, that lovely piney Christmas tree smell.
7. Do you have any Christmas Eve traditions?
I think Christmas Eve is probably my mum's favourite day of the entire year so she always made it really special for us when we were little, leaving notes and food for Santa and his reindeer. Nowadays we normally spend the night in watching films in our pyjamas eating chocolate, I guess that's kind of a tradition!
8. What tops your tree?
A star!
9. As a kid what was the one (crazy, wild, extravagant) you always asked for but never received?
Nothing too extravagant that I can think of, but for some reason I always used to ask for a Sylvanian Family set every single year! Santa never brought it though, I don't know why!
10. What's the best part about Christmas for you?
There are lots of things I love about Christmas but I think my favourite is just spending time with family and friends and eating lots of lovely food!!
I'd love to read your answers to this tag! If you've done it feel free to leave a link in the comments! :)

I love the Christmas tag! I'm trying to refrain from doing it until I have a nice photo of our tree... but with three kittens that's proving more and more difficult by the day!
ReplyDeleteLove your request for Sylvanian Families! I still have the biggest collection set up properly in my old room at my mum's, love going back there and reminiscing!

I don't like Christmas pudding or mince pies either, but Christmas dinner is always a winner - especially the Pigs in Blankets!

Not gonna lie, I still want one! haha xx
DeleteI used to ask for Sylvanian Familes every year too and although I think I had one or two of the characters, I never got one of the big proper sets! Pretty sure Santa didn't want to have to pick up all the little bits after I'd finished playing with them :P Lovely tag Beth, hope you have a great Christmas! I'm looking forward to chilling out from the 23rd onwards :) xx
ReplyDeleteHahaha yes something tells me that's why I never got one either! Hope you have a lovely Christmas, chick :) xx
DeleteHow great is Christmas!? I love the festive season :') Great post, thanks for sharing with us.
