THE CHRISTMAS TAG / BLOGMAS ❅ DAY 22

With Christmas only 2 days away, I decided to do a little Christmas tag. It seems to become a little tradition for me, last year I've also done a little tag post with slightly different questions, so today's another round for a tag post! 

1. What is your favorite Christmas Movie?

The ones I watch every year no matter what are Love Actually and The Polar Express, these two mean Christmas to me like nothing else. Last year I have also watched Elf for the first time (yup, for the first time) and I've instantly added it to my collection of favorites. Not that I have only watched Elf last year, I have never actually seen The Grinch, so I have quite a few movies to see, so please, leave your recommendations to me! 
Here's the list of my top 5 favorites I share last year. 

2. Do you open presents on Christmas Eve or Christmas morning?

We go to my Grandma's for the Christmas, so we open the presents on the Christmas Eve while we're there, but my family and I, we open the presents back at home, when it's the 26th of December already.

3. Do you have a favorite Christmas memory?

I don't have the exact one, but I remember Christmas a while back when there were a lot of people celebrating them together but over the years my cousins grew up and moved out to different countries, two dear people have passed away and there's a lot less of us celebrating the Christmas together nowadays, so I remember these times with a smile on my face. 

I've also shared one specific memory this Blogmas. 

4. Favorite festive food?

I'm all about the Christmas desserts like gingerbread cookies (YUM!), the cakes of every kind, I have a big sweet tooth. I also can't imagine my Christmas without the hot mulled wine, hot chocolate and the tangerines. It's not exactly food, but I don't really have a favorite festive food. 

5. Favorite Christmas gift?

I love receiving gifts which are not things but more like experiences to go and do something, this is what makes me the happiest. Whether that's a ticket to the concert, a massage or some kind of activity, I love it! And I also love receiving books! 

6. Favorite Christmas scent?

The way the home smells when we are baking gingerbread cookies and also the smell of tangerines' is the absolute Christmas scent.

7. Do you have any Christmas Eve traditions?

My family and closest relatives have a tradition to have a little prayer before we eat, then eat loads of food and give gifts to each other after the dinner. 

8. What tops your tree?

Nothing, really, we now have a little house hanging near the top but nothing exactly on the top. 

9. As a kid what was the one (crazy, wild, extravagant) you always asked for but never received?

I'm pretty sure I kept asking for a dog, I imagined a little puppy sitting underneath the tree with a big red bow on it but it obviously never happened. But now I have a cat who has plans to climb our tree this year, so it's all good!

10. What's the best part about Christmas for you?

To me the best part is the couple of days leading up to Christmas. I love the whole month of December but couple of days right before the Christmas are the nicest. Wrapping up the presents, baking the cookies, meeting up with friends for a little drink and just feeling very festive.
