Christmas Tag

Hello lovelies, I'm back again! Sorry for not posting very often at the moment I'm still very busy working on commissioned Christmas portraits, designing a CD cover and setting up my online shop. 

Since I last posted on here, I have been to the Christmas markets in Manchester which put me in a festive mood after seeing all the pretty lights 

I have been tagged by the lovely Vanessa to complete the Christmas Tag, so here we go!

1. Whats you favourite Christmas movie?
Ahh this sounds terrible but, I love lots of them and don't actually have a favourite.

2. What are your favourite Christmas colours?
My answer has to be the same as Vanessa's, it's all about the gold and red for me!

3. So you stay in your PJ's or dress up for Christmas?
I stay in my pyjamas til the latest 12 in the afternoon because I often get new clothes at Christmas so I can't wait to try them on. 

4. If you could buy one person a Christmas present, who would it be?
ohh I can't choose that!

5. Do you open your presents Christmas eve or Christmas morning?
Me and my sister open one present at midnight on Christmas eve and then the rest on Christmas day. We haven't always done that, it's something we've been doing for the past 3 years or so.

6. Have you ever built a ginger bread house?
I did build one once, quite a few years ago now but, it was definitely interesting.

7. What do you like to do on your Christmas break?
I like to go the Christmas markets, watch lots of Christmas films and read Harry Potter. Reading Harry Potter makes me feel super cosy at this time of year (this may sound strange). 

8. Any Christmas wishes?
That my parents stay awake longer than 5 minutes after eating our christmas roast.

9. Favourite Christmas smells?
It has to be that festive spice smell.
Every year my mum buys pot pourri that she puts out on the dining table which is full of dried orange slices, sticks of cinnamon, pine cones and berries which smells of festive spices. This year my mum got a diffuser with the same smell. Oh I also love the smell of hot chocolate too!

10. Favourite Christmas meal or treat?
Oh gosh I loveeee the roast potatoes my Dad makes, those covered in gravy are the dream. Anything chocolatey is a must at this time of year! 

As I'm pretty sure all the bloggers I speak to have already been tagged, I tag anybody reading this to complete the tag (if you have a blog of course).

Thank you for reading! 

Love from

It's Christmassssss!

Well, my favourite time of year is over *cries* and now were in those last couple of days of December where you feel slightly lost & don't know what to do!

Christmas saw me doing the usual watching Christmas films in pyjamas eating too much food! I watched the Classics; Home Alone, Elf, Santa Clause, Jingle All The Way & The Holiday, of course. I love Christmas for many reasons but, the Christmas food has to be up there as one of the main reasons! Christmas is the one time of the year where nobody questions how much food you scoff or why you're eating chocolate for breakfast. I also get to eat my Dad's roast potatoes with my Christmas day roast, I challenge anybody to find better roasts than my Dad's! 

I had a quiet Christmas day spent spending time with my family, seeing my Grandma & my boyfriend, listening to Sixties music, drawing and watching plenty of tv. I am very grateful for all the lovely gifts that my family, my boyfriend & his family have given me over the festive period.

I will be sad to see all the pretty lights and decorations being taken down in the next week, I love how festive everywhere looks at this time of year, another reason why I love Christmas so much!

I hope you had a lovely time over Christmas!

Thanks for reading
