Dear December| Christmas Tag!

Dear, December

I thought I'd do a Christmas tag for day 3! 

1. When do you start getting excited about Christmas?

I literally get excited for Christmas after my birthday which is the 27th September so it's pretty early, but I always feel like I can't show that I'm excited until after my mum's birthday which is the back end of November so it seems a little more appropriate. That being said, I downloaded my Christmas playlist on iTunes in like, August so I was ready.

2. Do you still have advent calendars?

I used to have one every year when I was a kid and then I kinda 

forgot about them. 

3. What are your favourite Christmas Films?

Well I don't like things like Miracle On 34th Street or White 

Christmas and I haven't seen Love Actually so my favourite must

be... Elf, The Grinch, With 6 You Get Eggnog, Twas The Night and 

Santa Claus!

4. Do you have any funny Christmas memories?

Christmas is just generally a funny time all round, spending time

with family and remembering past Christmases, last year myself and

my auntie tried to see how many After Eights we could fit in our

mouths which ended in me throwing up but hey!

5. Talk us through your typical Christmas Day?

When I was younger my day would start at like, 6 or even earlier 

and I'd sneak out of my room and find my stocking and play with

stuff in there until my parents woke up. I'm an only child so I never 

really jumped up and woke them up super early. Then we'd go and

open our presents under the tree and then get ready for the day!

Mainly get ready for eating a billion dishes of food... Mmmm!

6. What do you eat for Christmas Dinner?

I, myself, prefer chicken over turkey so I eat chicken and pigs in 

blankets and veg and lots and lots of gravy!

7. Do you have any Christmas traditions?

The only major tradition that I keep to myself is that I buy my mum

a Lush Christmas box every year because we're a tiny family of

three and not huge of gifts, small things like that to last the

year are good to buy :)

8. Which are your favourite Christmas songs?

There used to be a song I sang once in Primary School called This Christmas Time which I think was actually only a thing that our school did because I can't find it ANYWHERE (which upsets me) but that's the only one I love. I like non-traditional ones more like the ones from Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande and All Time Low :)

9. What is the best Christmas present you ever received?

There's a photo in my grandads house of me doing a little pirouette 

in this white, sequined ballet set that I got one year which I must

have loved because I look pretty chuffed in the picture! Also I got

a doll called Jimmy when I was really young and I was obsessed, 

he went everywhere with me and I'm pretty sure he's still in an attic

somewhere! 

10.Real or fake Christmas tree?

We have a fake white one and colourful baubles :) As much as we love real ones, they're just very messy and we have a house rabbit who likes to chew and it would end up lopsided by the end of December due to the rabbit eating the bottom. It's just as beautiful though!

Thank you for reading! I hope this was kinda fun, if anyone else does this then do link me to it and I'll be sure to read it.

Dear, December | Day 2.

Dear, December

Today was cold. The wind was icy and I forgot to wrap up warm with a scarf and gloves.

I'm pretty sure the obligatory December sniffles started today as my eyes were sore and I sneezed a lot.

Coming home meant three cups of hot peppermint tea and working in my new pair of docs (dr martens) which are matte black and fluffy on the inside, perfect for winter. 

As I gradually warmed up, I got a sudden burst of excitement over the up and coming festivities! Soon, I will have finished my first term of my second year at university and after that the panto season starts at the Little Theatre! I'm seeing Jack and The Beanstalk on the 21st with my parents. A new tradition perhaps as I'd forgotten how much I enjoyed the theatre.

Remembering forgotten things is exciting, December! I used to love the theatre and performing, although I think I did it so much in college that it began to be a chore and not something I did out of passion. However maybe that will change when you are done and the new year embraces us all.

You're a month for reminiscing, December.

I've had a lovely day. Have you?
