Hello and welcome back to my blog. I was struggling a little bit to come up with a new Blogmas post so I thought I would ask on Twitter for some Christmas related questions. I actually got a really good response, below are all the questions along with who asked and my answers. A massive big thank you to everyone who asked me something, I really enjoyed answering.
1. What is in your fantasy selection box (5 allowed) - asked by Steph & Jimmy of @TheDespicable3
I love chocolate so this one was a little difficult but I managed to narrow it down to five. I will have Wispa Gold, KitKat Chunky, Twirl, After Eights & Thornton's Viennese Truffles.
2. What are your Top 3 Christmas songs and any you dislike - asked by Nathan of @NathanStaker1
Oooh now this is difficult as I love Christmas music so trying to pick just 3 really had me thinking. Anyway my top 3 are 1. Step into Christmas (Elton John) 2. Its the Most Wonderful Time of the Year (Andy Williams) 3. I Wish it Could be Christmas Everyday (Wizard). As for a dislike I think it would have to be Jonah Louie's Stop the Cavalry and Cliff Richards Mistletoe and Wine - both make me cringe and turn the radio off.
3. Nightmare Before Christmas - Halloween or Christmas Movie? And Queens Speech Yes/No?- asked by Chris @cjdoc414
I cant answer this one as I haven't seen it - sorry, don't hate me!!
As for the Queens speech that would be a no as we are usually eating at that time, however I do catch it at some point later in the day.
4. What song do you have to hear before it feels like Christmas? - asked by Karina @chasingchildhd
Hmmmmm - can I say any of them?? This one is difficult and I am finding it hard to think of just one as I do love a bit of festive music. Anyway I am going to be a little different here and say the Holidays are Coming from the Coca Cola advert. I mean is it really Christmas if you haven't seen or heard the ad?
5. What was your favourite present as a child - asked by Bell @tinksbellellie
That would be the bike I got when I was about 10, its what both my sister and I had asked for but we thought we hadn't got them as they weren't under the tree with our other gifts. Mum and Dad had actually hidden them and we only 'found' them when we were sent out to get something from the garage! One of my other faves was a pair of roller disco boots - oh I loved those things!
6. What time is the earliest you got up as a child on Christmas morning - asked by Deb @agathac65945235
I don't think I ever got up super early, maybe 7ish? We used to have a pillowcase at the end of our beds that 'Santa' would leave presents in. Once we were awake we would take these into our parents room to open and then we would head downstairs for breakfast and whatever was under the tree.
7. Kerplunk or Operation - asked by Pippa & Peter @BroadwaysAway
Operation without fail, it was one of my favourite games. My sister had kerplunk though and I did enjoy that too.
8. Do you have any Disney Christmas traditions - asked by Eddie & Teresa @AScotOfDisney
Good question guys! Well we only had our first Disney holiday in 2017 but since then there has always been something Disney in our stockings or under the tree and we buy a new Disney ornament for the tree every year. Last year we went to see Disney on Ice for the first time (and loved it) so that could be a new tradition.
9. What is your earliest Christmas memory - asked by Shari @sharigeldhill
I think it would be going to bed with an empty pillowcase at the end of my bed and waking up to find it had gifts in from 'Santa', anything under the tree was from Mum & Dad/family members. Another memory is going out to visit great grandparents while Mum prepared the dinner.
10. Nap after dinner - yes or no? Asked by Jane @JaneyL91652762
Maybe not a full on nap but there might a quiet 10 mins!!
11. Favourite Christmas Movie - asked by @ready4aholiday
Either Home Alone 1 or Miracle on 34th Street (the 1994 version with Richard Attenbough)
12. Do you have a family traditions at Christmas and what present as a child did you really want - asked by Darren, Clare and Sophie @3_bigkids
We don't really have any family traditions as such other than Christmas dinner is always at my Mums. Tom and I have a few though, the main one being that we always go for a walk around London to see the lights and shop windows.
Yes! I always wanted Girls World and never got it it - am I too old to ask for it now?? lol
Once again thanks for the questions and for reading this post.
