Festive Favourites



To kick off the christmassy posts for this year I thought what better than to share with you a christmas tag I saw. Perfect to get you all in the christmas spirit. 

Favourite Festive Food 
I love Christmas Food. Christmas Dinner is my absolute fave as is a good old homemade trifle (which I don't suppose is strictly christmas but always what we have Christmas night 

Favourite Reindeer 
Its got to be Rudolph. However if you have seen Santa Claus 2 I totally love Comet! 

Favourite Day of Christmas 
Obviously Christmas Day is awesome but I LOVE christmas eve. Tradition is we go to the Crib Service at Church at 4.30 (which is normally standing room only) and then have meat and potato pie for tea then go to Midnight Mass at 11.30pm. There is something SO special about Christmas eve that I just love, especially welcoming in Christmas at Church. 

Favourite Christmas Song 
In terms of Carols I love Silent Night and Oh Holy Night. In terms of normally songs it has to be the Fairytale of New York. 

Favourite Christmas Present
Nows thats a hard one. I am always so grateful for any presents I receive. 
 
Favourite Festive Film 
There are Soooooooo many! I think my Number 1 has to be Miracle on 34th Street followed by Elf. We always have to watch Muppets Christmas Carol and other notable mentions for Nativity, the Santa Claus and Love Actually. 

Favourite Cracker Toy
Got to be the fortune telling fish! 
 
Favourite Cracker Joke 
Totally gonna be that person now and say that cracker jokes are just too cheesy for me!!! 
 
Favourite Christmas Decoration 
When I lived at home my mum had some decorations on her tree which just reminded me so much of my childhood. One was a little white guy with a tree (who I named Geoffrey when I was little and it stuck) 

Favourite Christmas Scent 
Yankee do some amazing christmas scents! Christmas Cookie, Snow Flake Cookie, Christmas Memories. A particular favourite this year has been a Gingerbread Candle I picked up from Home Bargains for about £2.50

Favoutite TV Ad 
Got to be the Coca Cola Truck Ad

Favourite Tradition 
I am an absolute sucker for christmas tradition and I love that me and Adam have started to develop our own. I did a post way back in December 2013 about my favourite christmas traditions HERE - most of which are still standing now. 

Favourite Place to spent Christmas 
At Home <3

Favourite Christmas Fact 
Right, I'm not going to lie and tell you I am full of Christmas knowledge... I googled... I wouldn't say I found a favourite fact on my quest however one which really confused me was that How The Grinch Stole Christmas is the highest grossing Christmas Film of all time. Now I have seen the Grinch. I didn't love it. I didn't hate it. I wouldn't put it up there in my top 5. 

Favourite Snowman Accessory
Its definitely got to be the carrot nose!

I hope you enjoyed this post. Just a bit of fun for you all.
