I saw this tag and I just had to do it. I LOVE Christmas. I think Christmas is the time you can really feel magic come alive. I love the run up to Christmas, the fun of Christmas day and the lazy. snoozey days following (yip you guessed it we don’t have kids lol)
1. What is your favourite Christmas movie?
My favourite newish film is Elf. I giggle so much at it – Buddy the Elf, what’s your favourite colour? But White Christmas with Bill Crosby is my all time favourite, love a bit of old Bill crooning away – “I’m dreaming of a White Christmas…” Love it!
2. Do you open your presents on Christmas Eve or Christmas morning?
We do both! We each open a small one of Christmas eve, then open the rest of our presents in bed on Christmas morning – you can definitely tell we don’t have kids yet.
3. Do you have a favourite Christmas memory?
I have lots of amazing Christmas memories, mostly just the time spent with family, amazing presents, great food. The best were when we were kids, playing on our new bikes, eating sweets till we were sick, playing monopoly with the family, watching Christmas films, spending all day in pyjamas. The simple times and things are my favourite memories.
4. Favourite festive food?
Vienetta mint chocolate ice cream. Yum yum yum! Only time I ever eat it as well.
5. Favourite festive gift?
Pyjamas – I always have to get a new pair and I always put them on straight after Christmas dinner.
6. Favourite Christmas Scent?
It’s got to be Apple & Cinnamon – Paul’s gets the air freshener out and always says ‘I’m spraying Christmas’
7. What tops your tree?
A little gold angel
8. Do you have any Christmas eve traditions?
Mine and Paul’s favourite Christmas eve tradition is ordering a domino’s pizza and watching a stand up dvd. We have done this every Christmas eve since we started dating. This year our chosen stand up comedian is Jack Whitehall.
9. As a kid, what was the one Christmas present you wished for but never received?
I think the only thing I have ever wanted since I was a kid until now is a polaroid camera. To be honest I never remember thinking that I didn’t get what I wanted. My mum and dad didn’t have a lot of money when we were growing up so myself and my brother never made crazy demands on them, but they always got us amazing stuff, I still have no idea how they managed to surprise us every year.
10. What’s the best part of Christmas for you?
Getting to see people open their gifts, especially Paul – it’s like having a kid with him he gets so excited and hyper. Also lazing about, Boxing Day sales and eating lots of yummy food. Worst part is taking the Christmas tree down; hate how bare the house looks then.
Do you love Christmas? What’s your favourite part?
