Christmas Tag...

Christmas is without a doubt my favourite time of year - no matter how old I get, I still get super excited so when I came across this tag I just had too do it myself!

Q1 // What's your favourite Christmas movie (s)?

I'm glad this question didn't just ask for 1 or I wouldn't be able to choose! Some of my favourites include Miracle on 34th Street, Elf, Home Alone (but only the first 2!), National Lampoons Christmas Vacation and Santa Claus: The Movie (this one was the one that always used to make me sooo excited!)

Q2 // Do you open your presents on Christmas morning or Christmas evening?

When I was a child, I would have all of my presents in the morning; however, since getting older I now have my presents off my parents at home in the morning and then mid afternoon/night time we go to my nanas for dinner and more presents. Although she still comes to our house in the morning as she only lives a few doors away.

Q3 // Do you have a favourite Christmas memory?

I used to love the lead up to Christmas whilst at school; everyone would be getting excited and the school itself would be winding down ready for the break. My last year at sixth form, last year, was one of my favourite especially on Christmas Jumper Day when everyone came in sporting the cheesiest, christmassy jumper they could find.

Q4 // What's your favourite festive food?
I don't actually like Christmas dinner (I can imagine many of you thinking WHAT?!) so I have to say my favourite festive food is the special tins of biscuits you can buy. Although I do love my Nana's homemade yorkshire puddings!

Q5 // What's been your favourite Christmas gift?

This is very hard as I've always received amazing gifts. One of my favourites as a child was my kitchen set with a microwave and everything! It literally came with about 100 pieces of fake food. I used to love pretend play when I was little so this was definitely one of my favourites as a child. However, as I've got older, my favourite Christmas gift has got to be my iPad Air which I got last year; I use it all the time and honestly can't remember what I did without it.

Q6 // What's your favourite Christmas scent?

Cranberry! I love it. It's a scent that's always filled my house around Christmas time so it makes me feel very christmassy.

Q7 // Do you have a Christmas Eve tradition?
Probaly pestering my mam about letting me open a present the night before!

Q8 // What tops your tree?
Nothing fancy, just a traditional star which matches the colour scheme of the tree.

Q9 // As a child, what was the one crazy, extravagant gift you wanted but never got?

I was never really one of those kids who asked for something crazy at Christmas and I don't want to sound spoilt but I honestly can't remember a Christmas where I didn't receive the gift I'd asked for.

Q10 // What do you think is the best part of Christmas?
Spending the day with my family has got to be my favourite part of Christmas Day but in the lead up to Christmas its going to the Christmas markets and snuggling on the couch with the Christmas tree lights on, a candle burning watching a Christmas film.

And on that note, that's exactly what I'm going to do now!

If you would like to complete this tag go-ahead and let me know down below if you do as I'd love to know how other people spend their Christmas.

Merry Christmas!
