Blogmas Day 2!

I decorated this bauble at placement with the children.. :-)

So for today's second Blogmas post I thought I'd do a Christmas Tag, as I haven't done anything particularly interesting today apart from go to placement and work... fun fun!

1. When do you start getting excited about Christmas? When I was younger I would start getting excited around September/October time. Well to be honest it hasn't really changed haha, when the nights start getting darker and the clocks go back, that's when I start getting excited!
2. Do you still have advent calenders? Yes! Without fail every year I will always have one, maybe even two. One year I hope to have an expensive one but for now I'll survive with Cadbury's :-)
3. What are your favourite Christmas films? I love Christmas films so much! The whole sitting in front of the fire with a hot drink, watching a Christmas film just makes me so happy. My favourites are Elf, Love actually, The Grinch, Santa Clause, Santa Who... The are loads more but I can't think at this time of night haha
4. What are your funniest Christmas memories? Hmm, I can't really think of a specific Christmas memory but when I was younger, and we used to spend Christmas at my Nans house, my Gramps would be the life of the party and always be telling jokes. :-)
5. Talk through your typical Christmas day.. Each year it changes because there is always something different going on. When I was younger however it was pretty much the same each year. Christmas morning I would wake up really, really early and me and my step sister Alice would find some torches and go wake up my mum and her dad, then we'd have our stockings then eat breakfast. After breakfast we would go into the lounge and open our tree presents.. Around midday we would sit down and have our Christmas dinner, then play with our new toys and watch some Christmas television..
6. What do you eat for Christmas dinner? Obviously the traditional Christmas dinner! Turkey with ALL the trimmings.. Hmmm.. Then of course mountains of trifle, cheese and biscuits and after eights. (not forgetting chocolate from our stocking!)
7. Do you have any Christmas traditions? Leaving milk and cookies out for Father Christmas is a tradition right? And Christmas morning we would always eat smoked salmon with scrambled egg on toast, mmm..
8. What are your favourite Christmas songs? I love all the old traditional songs, I'm not really into all the new ish remakes. I do like All I Want for Christmas by Mariah Carrey though. :-)
9. What is the best Christmas present you have ever received? Probably my old red and yellow car that I got for my second Christmas. I remember having it for years until my older cousin Dan broke it. I think every child must have had one of those things!?
10. Do you have a real or fake Christmas tree? We have an old fake one but hopefully this year we will be buying either a real one or a nice new fake one.. I love real ones because it reminds me of when I was younger and we'd have one every year. :-)

That concludes my Christmas Tag and Day 2 of Blogmas, I hope the questions made you feel all festive! Sadly I'm not really doing anything interesting in the next few days as I'm at work placement and college, but hopefully I should have some hauls by the start of next week. I tag anyone who reads this to do the Christmas Tag, hope you all have had a lovely day :-)
