Christmas Tag

1.  Do you prefer a real Christmas tree or synthetic?

Definitely real! Although they make such a mess when they start dropping pines they just smell amazing! We won't be getting one in our house though as my boyfriend can't stand them and has made out he is allergic...

2.  You're in a coffee shop, it's December, what do you pick?

The black forest gateau hot chocolate from Costa! They drizzle cherry puree on the top and it tastes soooo good! Only downfall is that on my last visit they were showing a board with calorie content and it turns out I have been consuming 700 calories each time I have one!

3.  Whats your favourite colour scheme for decorating the tree?

Gotta be the traditional! Gold, red and green.

4.  Giving or receiving?

Both! I love wrapping up presents and giving them to people but I also love receiving them and feeling like a child again on christmas day.

5.  To mince pie or not to?

To mince pie! Always!

6.  What's your traditional sunday lunch?

Roast chicken, goose fat potatoes, sage and onion stuffing and every kind of vegetable under the sun, but mainly cauliflower cheese!

7.  Christmas day fashion

Onesies! It will be one of my only days off around christmas this year so I don't intend on spending it getting dressed up when it will just be me and my boyfriend this year :)

8.  What's your favourite Christmas song?

The Pogues - Fairytale of New York

9.  What's your favourite Christmas film?

Either Jingle Bells (so bad it's good) or The Polar Express!

10. What's your favourite festive food?

Hands down... Stollen! I would eat it all year round if I could. 

11. Do you have any Christmas traditions?

I always have a satsuma in my stocking! I'm not sure if it is something that is commonly done but I have really fond memories of waking up at 3am with my sisters and eating the satsuma and chocolates whilst we sneakily opened our stockings... Definitely something I want to pass down to my child.

12. What tops your tree?

My family never really had a specific tree topper and put on anything that we liked that year. However, I definitely want to have one that my family can use every year and pass on down maybe...

13. What's the best part about Christmas for you?

I come from quite a big family where there is usually around 10-15 of us around on Christmas day with loads of children running around. That's one of the best parts about Christmas to me. It's all going to be so different now I am living with my boyfriend so it will be just the two of us until our little bundle of joy arrives! The other best part about christmas is decorating the house... my mum made out she was allergic to tinsel so I'm going to make my first Christmas away from home one to remember by decorating our new house like santas grotto haha!

Anybody else have satsumas on christmas day? I'm really intrigued to see if anybody else has this tradition too! x
