The Christmas Tag!


So it is 9 days until Christmas and I still haven't done a christmasy post so here we have the Christmas tag, Have a good one!

1. What is your favorite Christmas film?

My favourite Christmas film is probably elf, the grinch (I love doctor seuss) or a recent favourite 'A royal Christmas' with Lacey Chabert (Gretchen Wieners in mean girls). I much prefer Christmas specials of TV shows especially the Gavin and Stacey ones!

2. Have you ever had a White Christmas?

Yeah a few times, there have been times where it actually snows on Christmas, and others where it's been snowing a few days before Christmas. As many people will know the weather in the UK is very unpredictable, so much so that people place bets on whether there'll be a white Christmas or not, I'm not sure if that's a thing in other countries so let me know, but I just find it funny! 

3. Where do you usually spend your holiday?

Most years it will start off with my mum and dad at home and then we go to my nana's or auntie's and we'll have dinner and spend the rest of the day there.

4. What is your favorite Christmas song?

I love Leona Lewis' 'one more sleep' but I like 'All I want for christmas' by mariah carey too.. I like all of the classics too like 'do they know it's christmas' by band aids 20 and 30 and 'simply having a wonderful christmas time' by paul mccartney. I love most christmas songs to be honest

5. Do you open any presents on Christmas Eve?

No, I never have actually, I used to beg my mum to after hearing her stories about how she used to open one because my nannie worked in a pub on the late shift on christmas eve but because mum didn't I wasn't ever allowed to!

6. Can you name all of Santa’s reindeer?

There is rudolph, dasher, prancer, cupid, donner, vixen, blitzen, comet is that it? I feel like there's 8 but I'm not checking cause I don't want to cheat.. If anyone would like to you can verify it for me in the comments haha!

7. What holiday traditions are you looking forward to most this year?

I'm not even sure if we have a tradition but I'm excited for the food cause it's my fave! I'm not even lying, I love sprouts!

8. Is your Christmas tree real or fake?

Sadly it's fake, mum doesn't want all the needles everywhere but its still pretty, its white and all the decorations are in a sort of monochrome theme

9. What is your all-time favorite holiday food/sweet treat?

Food would have to be the sprouts but for sweet treats, im not a sweet person like I have to be in the mood to eat sweets so I just like the quality streets!

10. Be honest: do you like giving gifts or receiving gifts better?

A bit of both because I love seeing the thought people have put into my presents and there is always something satisfying about ripping the paper off of the gifts but I do love going shopping and putting thought into other peoples presents and seeing there faces when they open it! Both make me really happy!

11. What is the best Christmas gift you’ve ever received?

Ooh I'm not sure, I always like everything I get so this is hard to decide, I think it might have been last year when I got my DSI XL and to be honest its not the DSI that I was happy about it was the fact that I used to have one before and it got stolen and I could hear my mum and dad talking about it without me knowing what it was and the excitement in their voices was just too much so them being so happy about it and that they made the effort to replace it made it a really good present!

12. What would be your dream place to visit for the holiday season?

You know what I'm not going to say New York like lots of other people would, I honestly think it would be horrible and crowded and ridculous and I don't think I'd enjoy it at all, I would however like to go somewhere like Paris or even Lapland but I'd be just as happy going to Scarborough to see my Nannie!

13. Are you a pro-present wrapper, or do you fail miserably?

It depends on the shape of the gift, if its just a normal square/rectangle box I can do it and it's fine but jumpers or any other thing I can't do at all!

14. Most memorable Holiday moment?

There are 2 both when I was really little, the first one was when my mum had gotten me and my brother the same stationary set but gender specific like mine was barbie I think and my brothers was tarzan but when she wrapped them she clearly forgot which one was which and when I opened it I had a tarzan one and I don't think I was too pleased and had to wait until I got to my nannies to swap it with jamie's. The second one I think was the year after and on christmas eve I was looking through the argos catalogue and found  barbie switchboard and I really wanted it, I'd never mentioned it to my mum at all until christmas eve and I begged and begged her to get me it and to my suprise when I woke up there it was, I think I must've been the happiest child ever!

15. What made you realize the truth about Santa?

I'm not even sure, I think it was just around the age when there are 'rumours' about it or it might have even been my brother, I feel like he would do something like that!

16. Do you make New Years resolutions? Do you stick to them?

I do all the time, I constantly make the typical weightloss one and never ever stick to it to be honest I don't stick to any of the resolutions I make its very annoying actually!

17. What makes the holidays special for you?

Just spending time with my family and us all having a really nice day together which is always cute and lovely!

I hope you enjoyed this post and it got you into the festive spirit because it got me into it! There'll be another christmasy post next monday but I hope you all have a wonderful christmas and that you have a nice time whatever you are doing!
