1. Do you Prefer a Real Tree or Synthetic?
I've always had a synthetic tree in my house so I'd probably have to go for that! I love the look of real trees but I honestly think the malting would drive me mad haha!2. You're in a coffee shop, its December, what do you pick?
This year I have been loving Costa's White Hot Chocolate! To be honest I don't go in to coffee shops too often as I don't like tea or coffee, but when I do I normally go for a hot chocolate or one of the iced drinks - but maybe not this time of year!
3. What's your favourite colour scheme for decorating the house?
For quite a few years we have had red and gold; it's traditional and pretty and just makes me think of Christmas! I have to say I'm really not a fan of some of the bright coloured decorations you see around - Christmas is supposed to be warm and inviting and for some reason those colours just put me off!
4. To mince pie or not to?
Definitely not! I just can't understand why they are such a big deal haha!
5. What's on your plate when Christmas dinner is served?
Too much! Haha! I have to say I'm not much of a vegetable person so my plate pretty much consists of potatoes, pigs in blankets (my fav!) yorkshire puddings, and whatever meat is going! Oh so healthy! haha ;)
I always enjoy going shopping and looking for a nice Christmas outfit to wear! I like to have something a little sparkly and festive as I never normally wear anything like that. However I don't normally get dressed until around lunchtime... you gotta have that cosy Christmas morning!
I'm a sucker for Christmas films! I could pretty much watch any over and over haha but my favourites have to be Elf, The Grinch, Jingle all the Way and Christmas with the Cranks!
8.Do you open presents before or after lunch?
Before, always! What people can wait until after lunch? I know I can't!
9. Name one tradition your family does each Christmas?
Surprisingly we don't really have any traditions! We have certain decorations we put in places each year, but that's all! I also normally love to watch The Snowman on Christmas Eve just before I go to bed :)
There are certain cool gift ideas and presents that you can only find online, so I do some of my shopping on there, but I have to say I prefer going into town to do Christmas shopping as it is always so cute and festive! However I try to go at quieter times because let's face it - the crowds can be the most annoying thing!
So that's it for this tag guys! Thank you to Emma for tagging me to do it :) Be sure to answer the questions yourself if you're feeling Christmassy!
