1. What is your favorite Christmas film?
I haven't really sat and watched a proper Christmas film for a long time, we tend to just have Christmas 24 on constantly in my house and my favourite Christmas 24 film is definitely A Christmas Wish. But my favourite Christmas films growing up were The Santa Clause and The Santa Clause 2.
2. Have you ever had a White Christmas?
I remeber having at least one White Christmas in my life as there are pictures of me building a snowman with my uncle outside of my Grandmas old house from one Christmas. Other than that I can't remember having any snow on Christmas.
3. Where do you usually spend your holiday?
I either spend Christmas at home or at my Grandma's house depending on how many people we have to squeeze around a table. This year we are having Christmas at my house as there will only be 5 of us.
4. What is your favorite Christmas song?
I would happily listen to any Christmas song, I couldn't possibly pick a favourite. The song that I associate with Christmas the most is probably Do They Know It's Christmas? by Band Aid, more specifically Band Aid 20 as that is more my generation and I have memories of watching the video on TV with my mum.
5. Do you open any presents on Christmas Eve?
Never!
6. Can you name all of Santa’s reindeer?
Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, ......., Comet, Cupid, Donner, Blitzen, Rudolph. I'm pretty proud of myself for remembering that many but I can't for the life of me remember the 4th.
7. What holiday traditions are you looking forward to most this year?
Definitely staying up watching the Norad Santa Tracker which I do every year. Also watching Christmas films with my family and then Christmas morning breakfast made by my Grandma.
8. Is your Christmas tree real or fake?
We had a real Christmas tree once but my mum didn't appreciate all of the pines being left on the floor so now we stick to fake trees, in fact we've had the same 7ft one for about 5 years now.
We always have one of the big biscuit selection boxes on Christmas Eve, although that's not really Christmassy. I also really enjoy the limited edition Lindt chocolates and Terry's Chocolate Orange. This year I've really grown a liking to Pret's Gingerbread Melting Snowman. It's just so cute!
10. Be honest: do you like giving gifts or receiving gifts better?
Although I absolutely hate the stress of Christmas shopping, I do enjoy giving people the 'perfect' present and making them smile. I also enjoy delivering presents to family and friends that I don't see on Christmas Day, but of course I also enjoy receving gifts too because it's nice to know people have gone through effort for me.
11. What is the best Christmas gift you’ve ever received?
When I was younger my favourite gift was probably my little play kitchen that I think everyone will have played with at one point in their lives, they're a classic!
12. What would be your dream place to visit for the holiday season?
I really enjoy our tradition of staying at home for Christmas but I've had a dream of spending Christmas in a log cabin for many years, prefereably somewhere in Canada because it snows there also I've always wanted to visit Canada.
13. Are you a pro-present wrapper, or do you fail miserably?
I'm not by any means a pro as I can only really wrap presents that come in boxes, I tend to either put gifts in gift bags or ask my mum to wrap the difficult presents for me because she is amazing at wrapping.
14. Most memorable Holiday moment?
My most memorable Holiday moment would definitely be the year we went to Lapland. Although I was only young I remember pretty much the entire trip; visiting Santa's Grotto (the real Santa), Reindeer and Husky rides, the ice slides and the massive snowman. I would love to go back one year!
15. What made you realize the truth about Santa?
I honestly have no idea, but my mum told me that the year I stopped believing I pretended to still believe until after Christmas because I didn't want to upset her.
16. Do you make New Years resolutions? Do you stick to them?
For the past couple of years I have made New Years resolutions and not really stuck to them because they are usually quite unattainable. This year I am however planning to make some more realistic New Years resolutions so look out for that blog post! I'm hoping that I will be more inspired to stick to them if they're on the internet.
17. What makes the holidays special for you?
This is probably a cliche but I really enjoy getting to see pretty much every member of my family. I have a very large family which means that I don't get to see them very often. I like that I get to see everyone at least once around Christmas time.
I hope you enjoyed this post! I have really been enjoying reading other bloggers' Blogmas posts so next year I will hopefully take part in Blogmas myself. I am however trying to keep December's posts Christmas themed this year so I hope that this will suffice. As always, a follow would be greatly appreciated!

This is a great post! It's nice that you've had the same Christmas tree for 5 years. My family have had the same tree all my life and it would feel weird not having it now
