A Few Christmas Questions

It’s officially December! That means it is time for all things Christmas! I thought I would kick of the festive season with a little set of questions that I have seen some people answer in their blogs. 

What is your favourite Christmas movie?

Definitely Elf, it never quite feels like Christmas until I have watched Elf. As a child, I used to sit with my dad and roll over in fits of laughter when Buddy runs into the toilet stall door, or when he calls Myles Finch a “angry elf.”

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

Both! We are allowed to open one present on Christmas Eve, this present is normally either pyjamas or a dressing gown (the reason being, so that we would have nice fresh sleep wear for when my mum took pictures in the morning).

Do you have a favourite Christmas memory?

We would always have Christmas parties at our house when I was younger, and although I can’t remember anything too specific, it was a party tradition to bust out sing-star and guitar hero and watch in hysterics as family members with tone deaf voices sang like their lives depended on it.

Favourite festive food?

Am I going to be judged if I say brussel sprouts? Yes, I really love the brussel sprouts and they always taste best a Christmas! 

Favourite Christmas gift?

I was around 13 years old and I got a remote control Darlek, I was a big Doctor Who nerd and it was probably one of the times I have been most excited about opening a present – I also got a sonic screwdriver that year, so it was a pretty good one on the nerd front.

Favourite Christmas scent?

Cinnamon! Everything around Christmas time smells like Cinnamon! Ahhh it’s just the best!

Do you have any Christmas traditions?

Nothing in particular, other than the present on Christmas Eve. Despite all of me and my siblings probably being too old to believe in Father Christmas, we still continue to put out chocolate (Father Christmas doesn’t like mince pies in my house), milk and carrots, me and my mum will normally sit up a wrap presents and then she will cover the whole house and garden in glitter.

What tops your tree?

Sometimes an angel, sometimes a star, it depends what will match the colour scheme of the baubles best aha!

As a kid what was the one (crazy, wild, extravagant) gift you asked for but never got?

I don’t think I ever asked for something and didn’t get it, I would like to think that even when younger I didn’t ask for anything too extravagant.

What’s the best part about Christmas for you?

The run up to Christmas in the best part. Buying and wrapping presents, blaring out Christmas music, decorating the tree, even the food shopping! With working in a nursery, the lead up to Christmas is made double as fun, with the Christmas party and dinner and play, secret Santa at work and the variety of different Christmas activities. Christmas day itself goes far too quickly!

No matter how you choose to spend your Holidays this year, I hope they are filled with excitement and happiness and everybody gets a well-deserved break.

Much
