Basically, I just bloody love Christmas. As soon as September hits im in Christmas mode! So I'm spreading the festive cheer with this tag!
Miracle on 34th Street. Without a doubt. I have loved that film since I was about 10. My other favourites that I love to watch every year are Love Actually, Elf, Home Alone and The Muppets Christmas Carol.
2. Do you open your presents on Christmas Eve or Christmas Morning?
Always Christmas morning! My mum always wakes up earlier than me and sits there until I wake up so we can open our presents together :)
3. Do you have a favourite Christmas memory?
I don't really have a specific memory from my childhood as all my Christmases were pretty awesome and I was always spoilt rotten! But something that really sticks out was from last years Christmas; my sister had left some carrot out for Rudolph and had bitten a part off to make it look like he'd eaten some ;) I showed my nephew and his face was an absolute picture of joy! Like he was really truly astonished and it just makes me so happy that something so little can bring so much joy to a child.
4. Favourite Festive Food?
Obviously the Turkey dinner! Literally My favourite meal ever. Also that crappy chocolate you get in kids advent calendars? Strangely I really love it! As well as mulled wine (I know it's not food but it's close enough. And damn it's tasty!)
5. Favourite gift?
I've had so many great gifts, but The one that stands out is probably my first CD player and the first S Club 7 album! I literally spend all my time in my room listening to it!
I also love that every year my Mums buys be a box of Belgian chocolate seashells and in turn I buy her Thorntons toffee!
6. Favourite Christmas Scent?
7/ Do you have any Christmas Eve traditions?
Every year I always go to my sisters and help prepare the Christmas dinner. We spend the whole day peeling potatoes and chopping veg while listening to Christmas songs. We'll then sit down and watch the Muppets Christmas Carol and I'll go home and help my mum put out (and eat!) all the Christmas chocolates!
8/ What tops your tree?
10/ What's the best part of Christmas for you?
6. Favourite Christmas Scent?
Cinnamon! And Apple spices. I love going to the Christmas markets in Manchester; all the different foods and spices smell absolutely divine!

8/ What tops your tree?
It used to be this little angel that always sat a bit wonky no matter how hard you tried to perch it right! But we redecorated a couple of years ago and now we have abut glittery star that still sits a bit wonky!
9/ As a kid what was one (crazy, wild, extravagant) gift you always asked for but never received?
9/ As a kid what was one (crazy, wild, extravagant) gift you always asked for but never received?
With risk of sounding a little spoilt...I always got what I asked for! Although Ive never asked for anything wildly expensive, even as a child I was always conscious of asking for too much in fear of sounding greedy!
10/ What's the best part of Christmas for you?
Spending the entire day with my whole family. I'm quite lucky that my family get along so well and never really argue. And especially since my nephews were born, seeing the excitement on their faces opening all their presents is just the best thing.
Also the Doctor Who Christmas Special and endless days of Turkey sandwiches!
Hope you all have a lovely Christmas, and let me know if you do this tag! I love reading everyone else's answers!
