Christmas Tag

I've seen this Christmas tag doing the rounds and I thought I'd have a go in an effort to finally get me into the festive mood!

What is your favourite thing about Christmas?

I love having the excuse to over indulge and eat loads of yummy rich food without feeling guilty.  Also having time to spend with family and friends is always great.

What is your favourite make up look for the festive season?

Glitter!  Christmas means Christmas parties and for those I love to wear something dramatic and sparkly.  Full on glitter nails is essential!

Real Tree or Fake Tree?

My family have always had fake.  My mum has the most gorgeous artificial tree and I think it looks a million times prettier than a real one.  This year is different as we are travelling so we can't have a big tree so Si's mum sent us this amazing magic tree which grows green crystals all over it.  Pretty amazing!  We might have a bit of a dilemma next year as Si likes real trees and I don't...

 

Giving presents or receiving presents?

Everyone likes to receive gifts but I just love giving them too.  First of all it means I get to go shopping and always get to treat myself to something whilst I'm at it  ;)  Secondly I absolutely love wrapping gifts and making them all pretty.  Every year I have a bit of a colour scheme and wrap everything in matching paper with coordinating ribbons, bows and tags.

Do you open presents Christmas Morning/Eve/Evening?

I never open any presents before Christmas morning.  We always open presents from parents in the morning and then the rest wait until after Christmas lunch when one lucky family member gets to pass them out from under the tree.

Handmade Christmas Cards or Bought?

Bought.  I'm too lazy to make them and I'd probably leave it to the last minute anyway.

What is your favourite Christmas film?

I'm not a huge fan of Christmas movies... maybe Elf?  I don't mind that one.

What's your favourite Christmas Food?

It's all about Christmas dinner!  Turkey, ham, roast potatoes, sprouts (I love sprouts!!), the apple sauce and stuffing.  The only thing better than Christmas dinner is the 'hash' my mum makes the next day.  I don't know if anyone else does this but it's basically all of the left over veg mixed up and warmed up before being fried.  So delicious!

What's your favourite Christmas Song?

Something upbeat and fun like Jingle Bell Rock.

What's your favourite Christmas Memory?

The year I got my bass guitar.  My siblings were all opening awesome presents and I only had one crappy little present.  I knew something was going on when my mum asked me to go and get some coal for the fire (way back in the day when we still had a coal fire!)  Behind the living room door was my new bass, I was completely over the moon with it!
