The Christmas Tag!

Hey beaut's!

So today I'm back with The Christmas Tag!!! I've seen this tag floating around on numerous blogs recently and as I'm most certainly in the Christmas spirit I thought join in the fun!!! So grab yourself a hot chocolate, get comfy and lets get cracking on the questions....

1. What is your favourite Christmas film?
Arhhh this is a hard question to start with as I have so many... I always crack out Home Alone 1 & 2 first, I literally started watching them in September, yes I know it's early but I love them. I'm also obsessed with Elf it literally cracks me up every time. 

2. Have you ever had a White Christmas?
Unfortunately no, it's something I've always wanted to happen on Christmas day here in the UK but so far it's never happened, it would be so magical though. 

3. Where do you usually spend your Christmas?
Every year my Christmas is usually split into two, me and Michael spend half of the day at my parents and the second half at Michael's parents. It's always an amazing day that's jam packed full of food, family, fun and games. 

4. What is your favourite Christmas song?
Hmmmm.... Ohhh this is hard, but I have to go with Mariah Carey All I Want For Christmas Is You!!! Closely followed by The Pogues Fairytale Of New York!!! They are both absolute tunes, but to be honest I get into most Christmas songs over the festivities.

5. Do you open any presents on Christmas Eve?
Absolutely not, that would be outrageous ha ha.

6. Can you name all of Santa’s reindeer?
Ummm..... Rudolph (obvs), Prancer, Dancer, Blitzen, Donner, Vixen?????...... Ummm nope I cant, definitely going to have to google them now.

7. What is your favourite Christmas make-up and nail art look?
At this time of year you'll always see me rocking a red or berry lip so I'll be wearing either of those on Christmas day too, as for eye makeup.... I'll go for something gold and glitzy like Urban Decays Half Baked on the lid then Smog which is a gorgeous bronze through then crease. On my nails I'll be going for Barry M's Red Glitter along with Barry M's Jingle Bells to create an accent nail, both are full on glitters and are perfect for Christmas.

8. Is your Christmas tree real or fake?
We always have a fake tree although I'd love to have a real one at some point as they look amazing and smell great! 

9. What is your all-time favourite Christmas food/sweet treat?
Well I love my huge Christmas dinner, of course. But I'm a sucker for picky party food, I love it, and I usually go through 1-2 tins of Cadburys Roses or Heroes over Christmas too, oops!!!

10. Be honest: do you like giving gifts or receiving gifts better?
Of course I like receiving a present or two on Christmas Day, who doesn't?? But what I love the most is watching people open the presents I've bought them and seeing their reaction. If I did have to choose just one option I'd say giving gifts is best! 

11. What is at the top of your Christmas wish-list this year?
Hmmmm I'd really like something from MAC's Christmas collection and maybe some Lush goodies too he he.

12. What would be your dream place to visit for the holiday season?
Definitely New York! For as long as I can remember Ive always wanted to go to New York at Christmas time, it just looks incredible and I bet doing your Christmas shopping there is amazing too!

13. Are you a pro-present wrapper, or do you fail miserably?
I love wrapping presents!!! I don't go too mad with fancy wrapping, I think a nice neatly wrapped present with a stick on bow attached looks nice and that's what I usually do, although if I do have any ribbon laying around I'll probably do something nice with it.

16. Do you make New Years resolutions? Do you stick to them?
I don't usually make new years resolutions as I never stick to them but I do write down some goals Id like to achieve for the year ahead.

17. What makes Christmas special for you?
I think it has to be seeing all my family and generally just having an amazing  time, where nobody is stressing or thinking about anything else apart from having fun.

I hope you all enjoyed this festive tag post and hopefully its made you even more excited for Christmas that you already are he he.

I tag you ALL to get involved and share some festive cheer! Link me in the comments if you do it beaut's!

The Christmas Tag


Hey girlie's!!!

So today I'm back with The Christmas Tag!!! I've seen this tag floating around on numerous blogs and as I'm most certainly in the Christmas spirit I thought join in the fun!!! So grab yourself a hot chocolate, get comfy and lets get cracking on the questions....

1. What is your favourite Christmas song?
Hmmmm.... Ohhh this is hard, but I have to go with Mariah Carey All I Want For Christmas Is You!!! Closely followed by The Pogues Fairytale Of New York!!! They are both absolute tunes, but to be honest I get into most Christmas songs over the festivities.

2. Which is your favourite festive drink?
This is an easy one for me, it has to be hot chocolate topped with loads of marshmallow's!!! Mm mm yummy!!! Although I do appreciate a nice gingerbread latte when I'm out Christmas shopping.

3. Do you have a favourite Christmas film?
Arhhh I have so many... I always crack out Home Alone 1 & 2 in October, yes I know it's early but I love them. When it gets closer to Christmas I really enjoy Elf (cracks me up everytime), Polar Express, Arthur Christmas and The Santa Clause. 

4. What is at the top of your Christmas wish-list this year?
The only things I've had my eye on really this year is the Naked 2 and the Naked 3 palettes. I was hoping for Naked 2 for my birthday but it was out of stock everywhere... So hopefully I'll get either or for Christmas.

5. What is your favourite festive make-up or nail art look?
Well I've been addicted to wearing dark red or plum lips this year so when I do opt for either of those shades on my lips I usually go for a natural smokey eye, Ive also been wearing Mac's Satin Taupe alot recently too. For nails I've been loving my Barry M Raspberry and Barry M Majesty (gold glitter) combo right now but I'll be using more glitter polishes as Christmas approaches.

6. What is your favourite outfit at Christmas time? (LBD? Christmas jumper? PJ's?)
I always dress up quite smart of Christmas Day, it's something I do every year, I either go for a nice dress or last year I wore high wasted trousers with a nice sheer shirt tucked in, word of warning, high wasted trousers on Christmas Day was a huge mistake!!! The amount of food I eat on Christmas Day I need to wear something with a good amount of stretch in ha ha.

7. Would you rather play out in the snow or enjoy it from inside with the fire and a cuppa?
Ohhh I like to do both!!! I love messing around in the snow with my boyfriend and my pooch Alfie loves it ha ha but then when I get too cold I like to come back in, stick the kettle on, get the biscuits at the ready and warm up.

8. Wrapping presents - love or loathe?
Love!!! I don't go too mad with present wrapping, I think a nice neatly wrapped present with a stick on bow attached looks nice and that is what I usually do, although if I do have any ribbon laying around I'll probably do something nice with it.

9. What is your favourite Christmassy food?
Well I love my huge Christmas dinner, of course. But I'm a sucker for picky party food, I love it, and I usually go through 2-3 tins of Cadburys Roses or Quality Street over Christmas too, oops!!!

10. What is your favourite thing about Christmas?
Everything!!! I love the atmosphere, the build up, the spicy apple/cinnamon scents, doing lots of Christmas baking, Christmas shopping, present wrapping, getting all cosy and watching festive movies and of course having lots of fun on Christmas Day with all the people I love and care about the most.

I hope you enjoyed this festive post and its made you even more excited for Christmas that you already are he he.

I tag you ALL to get involved and share some festive cheer!!!
