The Christmas Tag 🎄- Countdown To Christmas

-

I thought I would try do Blogmas this year, which is posting everyday until Christmas. 
Let's see how this goes...
Today, I thought I would start simple and do the Christmas Tag.

Welcomed in the first day of December with the first snow of the year!! 

 ☃️

I have the Christmas songs playing, let's answer some questions....

1- What was the best Christmas gift you have ever been given?
I think probably my Onesie. I love it. Its purple, soft and warm!!
Oh, and my first camera.
It's small, red, and really cute.
I love that little camera. 


2- Be honest: do you prefer giving or receiving gifts better?
100% love giving gifts better. 
I love giving gifts to people. 

3- Do you open presents on Christmas Eve?
We always opened them on Christmas Day, as far as I remember, but we don't do Christmas gifts really anymore. But when with extended family we might be given something and maybe open it when we get them or wait until Christmas. 

4- Have you ever made a snowman?
Yes! Of course... but I wouldn't say it was the best snowman. I am not really a fan of playing out in the snow. I prefer sitting inside in the warmth and looking out at the white beauty while I sit by the fire. 

5- Is your Christmas tree real or fake?
Don't have one. 
But when we did we had a fake one.
They are just easier but I love the idea of having a real one.

6- Most memorable holiday moment?
I don't really have one most memorable but anytime extended family came over from England to visit us in Switzerland were always a favourite of mine. Sadly got no extended family visiting this year or going to England to see them...because of you know what.

7- Tell me about someone who makes your Christmas day very special?
My Family!
I can't possibly just pick one person. 
But my mum and sister do most of the cooking so a lot wouldn't happen without them. 

8- How have you prepared for Christmas so far?
We don't really do gifts so don't really have to do any Christmas shopping but I have a couple advents, and my mum has made Christmas goodies...so far she has made mince meat for homemade mince pies, Christmas Puddings, and a Christmas cake. I also went to Lush today and got a couple Christmas themed bath bombs...it was so hard to pick! 

9-Do you have an advent calendar this year?
I have three!
I have a Lindt Calendar, a Reese's Calendar, and a "beauty" one.
I was going to get The Body Shop one but I left it a bit too late as they were none left when I went on the hunt this afternoon. I am kind of upset about that, but I guess I will just have to wait until next year.

10- Do you prefer celebrating birthdays or Christmas?
Honestly, I think Christmas. Christmas means so much delicious foods, decorations, Christmas movies and songs, and most importantly family.

11- What is the worst Christmas gift you've been given?
I can't really think of anything. 
I have gotten really random things, that I didn't like much, from playing a sort of Secret Santa game but I can't really think of anything specific. 

12- What is your favourite part of the Christmas Dinner? And favourite Christmas sweet treats?
Christmas Dinner-Turkey, stuffing, Yorkshire pudding, roast potatoes, pigs in blankets....
Sweet Treat- Mince Pies, Christmas Pudding and all the chocolates.

13- What is your favourite Christmas song?
I am listening to a Christmas playlist right now on YouTube and there are so many I haven't heard before or heard in ages but my all time favourites are Last Christmas, All I Want For Christmas Is You, Drummer Boy, Mary Did You Know...I have a lot of favourites...haha...

14- What is your favourite Christmas movie?
The Grinch, Elf, Home Alone.
I saw Last Christmas last year, and I loved that movie and really want to see it again.

15- What is your favourite thing about Christmas?
Family is number one.
Also food. 
I also love the Christmas market but that is not happening this year because of  you know what...

16- When do you start getting excited for Christmas?
I usually get excited when the Christmas markets go up in town, but that isn't happening.
That and, when I start seeing Christmas things appear in shops.
But, I am really missing the markets. It doesn't really feel like its Christmas time without them.

17- Where do you usually spend your Christmas Holidays?
In either of my two homes...
Either in Switzerland or go over to England. 

And...
That's all the questions!!

Happy December 1st Everyone.
I hope you have all had a nice day today!

Avengers: Endgame|| My Thoughts & Ratings 🍿

Not that long ago I would have very quickly turned down watching this sort of movie because I was so sure I wouldn't be interested in them, and I used to be very particular about the films I liked to watch.But with a lot of pushing from my dad and brother, and comments about movies from one of my best friends, I finally gave in and decided to give them a try. And I for sure had been missing out, even though I haven't seen many of them yet at all. But because of this I now have a lot of movies I need to catch up on, so if anyone is up for a long movie night hit me up!  I haven't seen any of the other Avengers movies, because of my selective choices of movies, so I must admit I was a little lost in some parts of the movie as they referenced the previous movies in this one. But I really enjoyed the movie, and I really need to watch the others. It's always entertaining going to the cinema, but I wasn't expecting to actually enjoy the movie as much as I did. And even t...

Lost In Paris?! - Storytime

I can't remember the year I went to this school, but I went to a school near to where I live which was bilingual. There were students from across Europe but most students were Swiss. I didn't like my main class teacher very much but I am not going to be talking about class. Instead, today, I am going to talk about our school trip to Paris, France. The French class I was in my brother was part of too, which had its positives and negatives, which I also won't go into but our class was small because we were one of the "learning french as foreign students" class. So, for this camp there were about six students and my main class teacher came along too, of course, and my English teacher, which was not the same English teacher as my brother. This trip is actually the first time ever I went to Paris, and so far the only time I have ever been. And the visit did not go very well because a lot went wrong. The whole trip was also done in just two days, as far as I r...

Saving The Stranger| Short Story (Part One)

-
It was a warm spring day and outside the birds were singing. Jessica stood alone in the cold and dim underground station, after spending the Saturday morning shopping, in London, with her friends, and waited for the train to come. The world seemed to be at peace, but Jessica felt strange, as if something bad was about to happen. Something bad. She just couldn't think what it was.  Suddenly, just as the train was pulling in, Jessica saw a flicker of something black to the right side of her. She shrugged, and got onto the packed train.  Surprisingly, she found an empty seat beside a young man, of about twenty. He was wearing a navy blue cap and a black coat, which was strange as it was rather too warm to be wearing a coat. He was reading the Daily Mirror newspaper, and seemed to be very interested in it as he did not look up once. But as she looked at the young man, she was sure she had seen him before. Somehow, he did not look like one of those men that worked in London. He l...
