The Christmas Tag!

I adore Christmas, especially this year now I actually have a job and can buy people really nice, (expensive) presents which I've always wanted to do so.  Despite not knowing my plans for this Christmas I'm excited as ever! (I have no idea when I'm seeing my boyfriend or my dad eek..) I have a big family and with this Christmas I have to juggle work and see them all, it's going to be a challenge. Like most people I have all my Christmas wrapping to do as well as some last minute shopping! All I know is that the tree is up and I'm excited.

What is your favorite thing about Christmas?
Well I love a lot of things about Christmas, I like the fact that no matter what the family always comes together and has a really good time, we laugh about, joke and tell stories of when me and my brother were younger, also the fact everyone gets drunk. I also enjoy seeing the faces of people when they open the presents I've bought them, such a good feeling.

What is your favorite make up look for the festive season?
This time of year I love pale skin, winged eyeliner and ruby lipstick. However if I'm having a chill day it'll be smokey eye shadow and a pale lip gloss/lip balm.

Real or fake tree?
I would love a fake tree but I feel they would be too messy and my dog would tear it apart. This year my mum bought a small white tree and decorated white and purple and it looks amazing. I also love putting presents under the tree.

Giving presents or receiving presents?
Although I love receiving presents (who doesn't?!) as I've got older I've started to enjoy giving them much more. For example this year I can't wait to see the faces of my mum, my boyfriend and everyone else when they open their presents. It's so exciting.

Do you open you Christmas presents morning or evening?
Well it depends where I am. If I'm at my dad's Christmas morning it'll be out at bed at 7am with my little brother to open them. But if I'm at home I tend to give myself a little lie in and get up around 8/9 however I still always go to my mums room first.

Handmade Christmas cards or bought?
There is something so lovely about hand-made cards however you can get some gorgeous bought ones too. I don't mind either way, it's the thought that counts :)

What is your favorite Christmas film?
The Grinch or Elf, two movies I can watch over and over and never get tired of!

What is your favorite Christmas food?
At Christmas I prefer all the sweets to the hot food (yes I'm weird) so I'm going to say the mini chedders in the big tubes, chocolate oranges and the big tins of sweets.

I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas whatever you have planned!

How gorgeous is all of this??

Thank You!

Thank you dearly, to each and everyone of my followers and commenter's it means the world to me and I've finally reached 50 followers. I'm so happy and also it means I can start the giveaway! Which will officially start on Monday at 12:30pm. Today is going to be a little more of a personal blog post because I haven't seen my dad in a long time and I had a lovely day. 

Today I went to see my dad which I haven't done for the past few weeks and of course my gorgeous little brother. A new toy store recently opened in my town - Symth's toy store and it was the grand opening today so before going back to my dad's out of town we thought we'd pop in for a look :) 

How adorable is he? He's 4 next year and he's just getting into the whole superhero phase, I can't wait till I can buy him action figures and comic books! :D

Also I had a little spending spree of my own, I just couldn't help myself.

cosmo - £2 // underworld & contraband - blockbuster (rented) // gourmet jelly beans mmmh! for 95p too!

Whenever I go to my dads he always likes to go rent a few films and buy me and Joshua a few sweets and today we even decided to bake. Now these ones didn't turn out as well as I hoped, they were only part of a packet mix but Joshua really wanted to do them.

the ingredients we used

packet mix  & icing sugar - morrisons // eggs - morrisons 

we also made the butter cream icing ourselves from this site 

Now I know they don't like that amazing, the icing was a little runny and very yellow but he wanted to decorate the buns with sprinkles so we did so :) They do taste quite yummy though! And I did have a lovely day. I ended up watching the film 'Puss in Boot's' in-between baking and I have to admit, it's a really good kiddy film! I'll get around to doing my Friday wishlist either later or tomorrow and then I'll do my 'you' challenge later too :)

Just reminder to all my followers, the giveaway starts on Monday and again thank you!
