I know this is a little late for a tag post, but as this is my last post before Christmas it felt like the right time to talk about all things festive. I’ve seen a few versions of this tag but today I’ll be doing the one that Emily did as she was the last person to tag me.ย Soย thank you toย Judanna, Emily and Ray for the tag andย let’sย get started.ย ย
ย
Q1: Favourite Christmas movie and why?ย
Love Actually and as for why, why would itย beย anything else?! I love that there’s so many other stories going on at the same time. And who doesnโt love Hugh Grant?ย
Q2: Top 3 songs on your Christmas playlistย
I’m not crazy about Christmas music but The Pogues are number one. The other two are probably Mariah Carey andย Itโsย Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas (any version).ย ย
Q3: Favourite Christmas Traditionย
Eating as manyย roastย potatoesย as physically possible. This year I have 7.5kg in my house. Challenge accepted.ย ย
Q4:ย What Isย Onย Your Christmas Bucket List?
ย
- Find a way to stop my dog from eating the treeย
- Eat as many potatoes as possibleย
- Make my grandparents at least try a vegan brownieย
Q5:ย Buddyย Theย Elf or Ebenezer Scrooge?ย
I’m a Scrooge. It takes me a really long time to feel festive and evenย thenย I’m not the most into it. It’s lovely that everyone gets some time off together though.
ย
Q6:ย Favouriteย Thing About Christmas For You?ย ย
So I know I’ve mentioned these potatoes a few times now….butย I really appreciate thatย Christmasย is one of the onlyย occasionsย where no one judges you for eating as much as physically possible in one sitting.
ย 
Q7: What Is One Present You Askedย Forย As A Child, But Never Received?ย ย
I don’t really recall ever being really desperate for something I never got but I’m pretty sure I went through a phase of asking for a dog constantly and never managed to convince my mum that was a good idea.ย
Q8:ย Do You Have Any Christmas Eve Traditions?ย ย
Noย we don’t, we used to go to family friend’s house every year when I was younger but these days it’s all about last minute wrapping and prosecco.
ย
ย
Q9:ย Which Festive Beverage Tickles Your Tinsel?ย ย
So obviously there’s a good seasonal hotย chocolate. I’ve been loving theย clementimeย one from Caffe Nero recently but as far as the more serious beverages go, Bucks Fizz is essential for Christmas morning. I’m not really a fan of mulled wine but the rest of my family always have some on the go.ย
ย
Q10: Best Present You Ever Received?ย ย
This is quite difficult, I usually opt for lots of little presents rather than bigger ones so a lot of my most memorable gifts wereย actuallyย birthday presents. I think the most shocking one I ever got was myย Suqquย eyeshadow brush, I put it on my list but I never expected my mum to actually spend that much money on one makeup brush so I was quite surprised to see it.
ย
Q11:ย Sprouts on Christmas Dinner?ย ย
Yayย Orย Nay?
ย
Absolutely not. Theyโre one of the only vegetables I don’t like and there’s too many other amazing ones to include sprouts.ย
ย
Q12:ย What Would be your ideal Christmas?ย ย
- Wake up to snow. I love snow and I think I can only remember oneย Christmas day with snow so that’s always exciting.ย ย
- Everyone else be really happy with what presents they’ve received. My mum always tells me what she wants for Christmas which is a little boring but I always get her something else from my dog (yesย I write the label from him) and she never knows what that one is.ย ย
- No one else wants potatoesย soย they’re all mine.ย Obviouslyย everyone loves roast potatoes so this never happens but if we’re talking about an ideal Christmas I’d also have much more oven space to cook these potatoes.ย ย
I’m pretty sure everyone has already done this tag at this point but if you haven’t I’d love to hear your answers to these questions!ย
Merry Christmas everyone! I hope you all have a wonderful day tomorrow.
Love your answers!!x
I think I should have just called this post ‘I really like potatoes’ x
Sophie
I love doing these tags! I enjoyed reading this – I also love roast potatoes!
Thanks! Literally who doesn’t, they’re the best x
Sophie
I love how original your answer is about your fav thing about Christmas! All those roast potatos yas gimme xx

I nearly did a tally at the end of the post for the ‘potato’ count, clearly a highlight for me x
Sophie
Lol I love that youโre so stuck on these potatoes but itโs true Christmas is the main time to stuff and not feel bad. And itโs ok to be a Scrooge, even he has a huge turn around. Great answers!

Haha can you tell I had food on my mind when I was writing this?! I am devoted to my roast potatoes though. Very true, I usually enjoy it when it finally gets here, just can’t take the build up x
Sophie
I completely understand your love for roast potatoes. They are just ao bloody amazing. Especially with gravy. I canโt wait to have loads tomorrow. I also have a major soft spot for Hugh Grant. Love Actually is just such a feel good Christmas film. X
Waking up to snow would be pure magic for me on Christmas Day as well, that would be amazing! I really hope you manage to convince your grandparents to give a vegan brownie a go – I made a vegan chocolate cake a little while back and even my Dad and brother (who usually turn their noses up at vegan food) loved it, proving that vegan food is absolutely delish! Happy Holidays, I hope you have a lovely time!

i loved your christmas bucket list! I am also trying to find a way to stop the dog (and the rabbit) from eating the tree, it’s not going well so far haha x
I always love reading people’s answers to the Christmas Tag! They are so fun to read. Also, I agree with the Snow on Christmas Morning. Just once. That’s all I ask haha!
Hahaha I am a huge potato lover too, they are amazing and my mum always does them crispy on the outside and fluffy in the middle, sooo yummy! I also love Love Actually, David and Natalie are my favourite story by far, good old Hugh Grant!

This was interesting to read – I love these sort of posts! Definitely no sprouts in the Christmas dinner haha. I’d love for snow again on Christmas day too, I remember it happened once like 8 years ago and that was amazing!

Haha I’m having family over boxing day so technically it’s not all for Christmas day but I’ll still no doubt attempt to consume as many as possible tomorrow. Merry Christmas to you too x
Sophie
Honestly? Completely with you on the potato-love. They are demicious! ๐
Haha, potatoes are everything!
Enjoyed reading this tag!
I love potatoes too. Unfortunately, this year I am pregnant and too sick to eat.
Great Christmas tag. I love reading these and getting to know people more. I love the film Love Actually as well x
I loved your photos in this post, great work!!
Can you believe I had never seen love actually until this year and I fell asleep? haha
