a winter tag | Blogmas Day 8

Hello everyone and welcome to Blogmas Day 8!

Today I have been nominated to do the Winter Tag by the lovely Niamh from NiamhRBlogs. Niamh is such a lovely person and has a beautiful blog that I recommend you check out!

I find taking part in blogger tags so much fun, it brings you closer to other bloggers and you always find things in common!

This tag is to do with all things winter and Christmas, it’s a lovely festive tag and I’m so excited to be taking part in it!

There are 10 questions to answer and then you can nominate 8 bloggers to take part in the tag!

Here are the questions and answers:

1. What is your favourite holiday tradition?

Every year for as long as I can remember my family and I have read a special edition of ‘The Night Before Christmas’ on Christmas Eve night. We all tuck up into bed in our festive pyjamas and take it in turns every year to read it. It’s the thing I look forward to the most every year and I will carry it on with my children!

2. What is your favourite winter scent?

I would have to agree with Niamh that the smell of the Christmas tree is one of favourite scents but I’ll share another of my favourites too!

I love the smell of spiced winter berries, in candle form or perfume. As soon as I smell the cinnamon goodness it makes me feel instantly festive!

3. What is your favourite winter go-to fashioned trend?

Christmas jumpers! I love to wear jumpers with my fave topshop jeans. I try to wear a new one each day leading up to Christmas, I have that many! They are my favourite thing to buy and I collect them over the years!

4. What is your all-time favourite holiday movie?

Ooo this is a good, but tough question! I love Miracle on 34th street, it’s a Christmas classic in my family! I also love watching Arthur Christmas, it’s such a cute family film and gives me all the Christmassy feels!

5. What’s your favorite all-time holiday tune?

Another great question! My fave song at the moment (because I can’t pick an all time fave) would have to be Merry Christmas Everyone by Shakin’ Stevens! It’s a song I’m constantly singing and always puts me in a festive mood!

6. Do you prefer to travel or stay at home during the holidays?

I’d always choose to be at home at Christmas, I would love to travel in December, but being at home for Christmas is always important to me!

7. What’s your favourite winter activity?

I love visiting Christmas markets, wrapping up in all the layers and walking around the stalls with a hot chocolate and most likely donuts too! It makes me so happy seeing all the lights and the festive gifts you can buy!

8. Do you love or hate the snow?

I absolutely love the snow! I do not like it so much when it’s just wet sludge and you slip all over the place, or when it’s yellow haha!

9. What is one item on your wish list this year?

It’s kind of a tradition but every year I receive a LUSH product, this year I’m hoping to receive the Snow Fairy Shower Gel. It’s on my Wishlist every year, I absolutely love it. It reminds me of Christmas when I was younger as I used to have a bottle every year!

10. What is your favourite holiday treat?

It’s got to be Terry’s Chocolate Orange! It’s not around all year long and it’s one of my favourite things ever! It’s so delicious and festive!

I hope you enjoyed reading all about my winter festivities!
