Christmas Tag

I love Christmas for a surplus of reasons. Not only is a warm fire and cup of cocoa great, but the cozy blankets and Christmas lights just add to the magical-ness that is the Christmas season.

1. Why do you love christmas?I love my family. Christmas allows me one day of staying in with my family, not having to worry about homework, swimming, or anything else that could be stressing me out. My dad, mom, brother and I just relax at the house, doing puzzles, enjoying the presents, baking delicious pastries, etc.
2. Does your family have any holiday traditions? On Christmas Eve we always go to our family friends house for a Christmas Eve party. We spend a few hours eating great food, laughing, playing games, and just catching up.
3. What is your favorite winter scent? I love the Vanilla Snow Flake Candle. I finally purchased a candle (in my previous post I talked about wanting a candle) and I love this one. In my journey of buying candles I learned I'm really picky, some are too strong, others are just plain gross. I love this candle because it's the perfect balance of sweet and warm. I also bought a mini Christmas Cookie candle, which I like too, but my overall favorite is by far the Vanilla Snow Flake.



4. What are your top 3 items on your christmas list? 1) Where We Are concert tickets (One Direction is coming to St. Louis!!!) I know I got these because my dad bought six, and I was going to keep two but he's also selling those so we can hopefully buy better tickets. 2) This Is Us Movie (One Direction) as well as Midnight Memories (One Direction's third CD). 3) Fault In Our Stars (John Green), Stay Strong (Demi Lovato's Book) and Ellen's book. I know these are all separate books but I'm going to link them together because they are books and I do what I want ;)
5. What is your favorite holiday beverage? I love peppermint coffee, as you know if you read my previous blog post, but I also found one of my new favorite drinks at Starbucks. I love the Salted Caramel Hot Chocolate, it has the rich chocolate flavor but the salted caramel just blends in perfectly with it.
6. What is your favorite christmas food? My favorite Christmas food is any kind of baked goods: sugar cookies, snowball cookies, these chocolate caramel saltine cracker things, OH and those cookies with the chocolate kisses in the middle. Obviously I have a cookie problem.
7. What do you put out for Santa? Cookies and milk, duhhh ;)
8. Do you open presents on Christmas Eve or christmas morning?Strictly Christmas morning, no matter how much my brother and I begged my parents they held their ground on only opening gifts on actual Christmas.
9. How do you decorate for christmas? We decorate my 12 ft tree and the trees outside. We also add some Santa figurines (that are pretty big) and garland.
10. Do you believe in Santa? Yes!! Haha, but in the Christmas spirit most definitely :)
