Aloha! Last year I did a Christmas tag which I really enjoyed doing so I thought I would do another one for 2015! Here it is!

What is your favourite Christmas film?
The Holiday. Still my favourite although I watched the Polar Express a few weeks ago and that was very good!
Have you ever had a white Christmas?
Yes, living in Scotland it was bound to happen. It was many years ago now though. I'd quite like one this year as my work is closed over the festive period so I wouldn't have to drive in it!Where do you usually spend Christmas?
We spend half of the day with my parents and half of the day with Mikey's parents. Which half of the day depends on whose turn it is to cook dinner!
What is your favourite Christmas song?
Fairytale of New York. I don't think anything will ever beat this song for me.
Do you open any presents on Christmas Eve?
We haven't done in the past, but this year I've made a little box up with new pyjamas, hot chocolates, marshmallows and chocolates which I plan to be opened on Christmas Eve so we can have a cosy evening in!
What Christmas traditions are you most looking forward to this year?
Apart from the obvious spending time with family and eating a huge dinner then rolling away from the table onto the sofa, I'm looking forward to the Downton Abbey Christmas Special. I'm a little bit too excited for it if I'm honest. Many tears will be shed!
Is your Christmas tree real or fake?
Fake unfortunately. I'd love a real tree but it's too much hassle to dispose of after Christmas and it would end up dropping it's needles all over my cream carpet!
What is your all-time favourite Christmas food/sweet treat?
Probably the smoked salmon roulade that my mother produces every year. It's delicious and we never get it at any other time of year so it makes it extra special.
Be honest: Do you like giving gifts or receiving gifts better?
I think the older I get, the more I enjoy giving gifts. I see it as a great challenge each year to find something for everyone that I know they will love. I like to think I'm a good gift buyer!
What is the best Christmas gift you’ve ever received?
This one changes every year. I can never decide. I think last year's present from Mikey of a Husky sled ride was pretty awesome. I'm actually meant to be going on that this weekend! The weather keeps ruining it for us though and it keeps getting cancelled. Typical Scotland!
What would be your dream place to visit for Christmas?
New York? Or Lapland! 
Are you a pro present wrapper, or do you fail miserably?
It is entirely dependant on whether I am in the mood for wrapping, and if your present is one of the last I wrap! The presents I have wrapped so far this year look pretty. The ones I will be wrapping next week, probably not so much!Most memorable Christmas moment?
Last year's Downton Abbey? Nah in all seriousness, probably the year I decided to open a 13 year old bottle of Moet & Chandon Champagne & drink 95% of it. Soz Mum & Dad!Do you make New Years resolutions? Do you stick to them?
I do usually. And I usually fail at them...What makes the holidays special for you?
Seeing family I don't see very often, having time off work to spend with Mikey and just relaxing! (& Downton Abbey. Sorry).What is something new happening this Christmas that you’re excited about?
This is the first year that we have had a baby around at Christmas! Not ours of course, but our Niece Elsbeth! She was born in March so just missed last year's festivities. She's at a nice age now where she's much more aware of what's going on. It will be nice to see her enjoying herself on Christmas day!

I won't tag anyone in particular but feel free to copy and paste these questions onto your blog if you want to do a Christmas tag too!

It's the most wonderful time of the year...The Christmas Tag!

Smudge modelling his Santa Coat!

Hello everyone! I saw this christmas tag over on MilkBubbleTea and I just had to get involved. Christmas is my favourite time of year and I look forward to it all year! Not just for the presents of course but It is the one time of year I get time off to spend with my family! 

If you want to get involved with this tag please feel free to copy this onto your page. I'd love to see your answers! 

1. What is your favourite Christmas Movie/s?

Elf is always a good choice! And The Holiday. The Snowman is one I've always watched on Christmas Eve, ever since I was a little girl. It's always been a tradition in our family.

2. Do you open your presents on Christmas Eve or Christmas morning?

Christmas morning! I won't cave from pressure to open anything until Christmas morning haha! 

3. Do you have a favourite Christmas memory?

When I was born, my dad bought my mum a magnum bottle of moet & chandon. One christmas when I was about 12, they decided to open it. They fell asleep on the sofa and I polished off the last of the bottle (mixed with orange juice of course!) It still gets laughed about every year.

4. Favourite festive food?

I love those little sausages wrapped in bacon! For some reason we never have them at any other time of year. I've been known to eat a whole tray to myself when I'm feeling a bit peckish after Christmas Dinner! 

5. Favourite Christmas gift ?

I had to think about this one! I've received so many lovely gifts over the years! Going back to my childhood, I think my favourite must be the year my parents bought me my first PC! It was a Gateway PC with windows 98! Haha! I had it for about 6 years. I used to sit up late adding all my CD's to windows media player and writing stories/playing on paint! 

6. Favourite Christmas scent?

Cinnamon scented candles! My mum has always filled the house with them at christmas!

7. Do you have any Christmas Eve traditions?

Going round our family delivering presents mostly! Then we like to sit down with some nibbles and drinks and watch the Snowman! 

8. What tops your tree?

Gaga's angel! My gran had an angel handmade for me when I was born and she's still tops the tree! She's come with me after moving out of my parent's house too. 

9. As a kid what was the one (crazy, wild, extravagant) gift you always asked for but never received?

Probably a kitten! I eventually got a cat when I was 13, not for christmas though! 

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

Everyone sitting down at the table to eat a delicious, home cooked meal! It's a time to reflect on how lucky we all are and to enjoy being in each other's company! 

I'm so excited for Christmas to come around again! It really is the most wonderful time of the year!
