The Christmas TAG with heyitisjess | Christmas 2014

Hello!

I'm feeling super festive so today I've brought to you my second Christmas TAG- see last years here! Also this is actually a collab with the lovely Jess from Hey It Is Jess, so go and subscribe via bloglovin here!

1. What's your favourite Christmas film?

Most definitely the Polar Express! I remember going to see it in the cinema on Christmas Eve, ever since it just makes me really happy, reminds me of my childhood and makes it feel like Christmas. I'm sure you've seen it but if not, definitely give it a watch this Christmas!

2. What is your favourite Christmas drink?

I'm not a huge fan of the Christmas orientated flavours, I hate spices and ginger bread men are about the furthest my palette will go. So it'll be a very boring but much loved tea or hot chocolate if I'm feeling brave.

3. Does your family have any Christmas traditions?

I can't say we do. We do spend Christmas Eve relaxing and watching Christmas films all day but i'm sure a lot of people do that!  We also always spend boxing day doing the same thing which probably also includes pigging out and having cold meat and home made chips- yum!

4. What time do you usually wake up on Christmas morning?

Usually it'd be around 4-6ish because my elder brother is a big kid and wakes my younger brother up and then you can pretty much guarantee we'll all be awake by 6. Although last year I was good, I stayed in bed til at least 8:30, wahey a lie in!

5. Have you ever had a white Christmas?

Not really, we've had left over snow on Christmas if that counts? Probably not!

6. Is your Christmas tree real or synthetic?

In all honesty we've never had a real pine tree for Christmas as my parents think they're too big and messy. So obviously it's synthetic!

7. What's your favourite Christmas song?

It'd probably have to be I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday- Wizzard. It just makes me really happy and puts me right in the festive mood! Also Olly Murs has covered it- ultimate babe! I love Merry Christmas Everybody- Slade as it came on in work recently and I had a little rave in my head, haha!

8. What is your favourite decoration colour combination?

Usually we'd opt for the reds and silvers but this year we're feeling adventurous and have purchased pinky/purple and teal baubles which I absolutely love!

9. Have you ever built a gingerbread house?

Yes I have indeed! I think we did it last year or the year before, it looked super pretty but nobody wanted to eat it as the gingerbread was quite strong in flavour and soft, yuck!

10. What is your favourite part of Christmas dinner?

Previously it would've been turkey as that is the only time we eat it but I've gone off meat! I'm not a vegetarian but I just don't enjoy meat with my dinner anymore. Though I do love pigs in blanket as again we only have them on our dinner at Christmas, so pigs in blankets definitely!

11. What is your Christmas day fashion?

Usually Christmas is one of the days we get dressed up, I've always struggled to pick a outfit of new clothes I've had earlier that morning. However in recent years it's all about the comfort seeing as we stay at home, this year I think I'll rock a Christmas jumper!

12. Do you open your presents before or after dinner?

We've always opened our stockings, had breakfast, opened the presents, got ready and then had dinner. Sometimes we may leave some presents until after dinner though!

Christmas is definitely my favourite time of the year and I love hearing what others get up to and their traditions so I tag EVERYONE to do this TAG! Let me know if you do so I can check yours out and I hope you've liked my take and collab with Jess.

Merry Christmas or if you don't celebrate Christmas, Happy Holidays!

See you soon,
