The Christmas Tag

Ho Ho HO!
   
With 3 sleeps to go I thought I would do a wee Christmas tag since I found it on Laura's blog.
 
So below are my awfully thought out answers!
 
Please feel free to answer this tag in the comments or comment and tell me if you have done any tags you want me to do as well? 
 



1.What are your top 3 Christmas Movies?
My top 3 Christmas movies… This is so hard!!!!!!
Elf
Polar express
The Grinch
This is my faves today but tomorrow it could be totally different.  I spend the whole of December watching Christmas movies, both the classics and the lifetime ones!

02. The Christmas song you know all the lyrics to?

In addition to watching Christmas movies all year round I listen to Christmas music! The fairy tale of New York is a solid must and I could tell you every word!   I am constantly singing throughout December, even though my voice isn’t the best!

03. Do you have any special or favourite traditions?

I have a big family full of traditions,  Boxing day is the best of all, my whole family and close friends comes round at 3pm and stay til late.  Last year we had around 50 people round through out the day and it was so much fun.  This is a tradition I hope that we never lose and carries on even when I’m a grand parents.

Another tradition we have is the red breast Robin looking out for us and making sure we are good.  If we are bad he flies back to Santa and tells on us.  We know he has been to see Santa because the robin has moved.  I thought that everyone did this, it turns out its just our family and something that my Granny started when my cousins and I were little.  I am 21 now and my Granny still moves the robin if we have been bad!!

04. What day is it officially allowed to start actively anticipate Christmas?
The 4th Sunday before Christmas!

05. A day in advance or months ahead – when do you start thinking about getting Christmas shopping?

I usually buy it all in the 1st week of December then get really sad that I have no more presents to buy!!

06. Favourite food that you associate with Christmas?
STUFFING! ROAST TATTIES! CRANBERRY SAUCE. I could have a whole plate of that!

07. What is the best gift someone has ever gotten you?

I remember when I was a little girl, my mum and dad didn’t have a lot of money so they got a dolls house from a car boot sale and wrapped it in jackets.  I don't think I have ever been so happy! we still have the dolls house in the loft so my children can play with it once day!

08. In full anticipation you grab the wrapped present that looks most like the sweater you wished for, only to find a pair of really ugly socks how do you react?
EH, Why did I get ugly socks?

Nah, I don’t think my family would do that to me!

09. What makes this time of the year ‘the most wonderful’?

Snow, I really miss the snow this year, I love it!

10. Is your Christmas Tree real or fake?
This year its fake but most years we have a real one the hall way! It smells so good!!! Last year we had a proper drama with putting up the real Christmas tree.  I almost broke my finger when the tree fell on top of me and my hand was in the pot!

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

Dasher, Prancer, Donner, Dancer, Blitzin, Vixen, Rudolf , Cupid , Comet and Oliver of course ;)

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

I love the idea of getting presents but everyone that knows me knows that I love giving gifts! I am obsessed with getting the perfect presents! We had 2 secret Santa’s at my work this year. I gave a little mermaid obsessed coffee fanatic a mug with her name on it. She came upstairs and asked everyone who got it for her she was so chuffed!  I also got my team mate a jumper that said “you can’t sit with us” on it.  We spend our days quoting mean girls so she was beside herself with laughter and knew exactly who had her!

 ***
 
So there it is! my Christmas tag! as I said, feel free to have a go yourself.  My next blog is going to be a quick gift guide where I will show the presents that I have given and am giving to people!
 
I know its quite late in the year but I've started this blog this late in the year!
 
Lots of love
