Hate being left out ![]()
Nicked from Subz, like it really matters...
1. Wrapping paper or gift bags? Wrapping paper. This year is silver, with matte purple and white ribbons and bows. Most things are in boxes too so they were easy to wrap look good.
2. Real tree or Artificial? We have a real one this year but I think I actually prefer the even shape of an artificial one.
3. When do you put up the tree? It usually goes up about 10 days begore Christmas, as late as mum can get away with it.
4. When do you take the tree down? By the 6th January.
5. Do you like egg nog? Never tried it. Think I'd hate it. I can't stomach cream based cocktails, I don't think alcoholic custard would sit well.
6. Favourite gift received as a child? I can't remember... my sister and I used to get quite a lot of gifts when we were little, Santa spolied us a lot ![]()
7. Do you have a nativity scene? Goodness no, it isn't made of tinsel or bows.
8. Hardest person to buy for? Nanna and Grandad. I try valiantly every year to come up with ideas but mum always ends up getting stuff for us anyway.
9. Easiest person to buy for? Sibling.
10. Mail or email Christmas cards? Either or neither. I never really bother.
11. Worst Christmas gift you ever received? A headless ballet dancer.
12. Favourite Christmas movie? Santa Claus The Movie, of course!
13. When do you start shopping for Christmas? December November, I'm done by 27th November, every year. Oh, the lies.
14. Have you ever recycled a Christmas present? No, never, although I often buy the same thing for people. Silver money box ducks were a theme this year.
15. Favourite thing to eat at Christmas? DINNER.
16. Clear or coloured lights? Coloured as a child, now I am a little more refined. Subtley blinking white lights.
17. Favourite Christmas song? WELL I WISH IT COULD BE CHRISTMAS, EVERY DAAAAAY!
18. Travel at Christmas or stay home? Stay at home usually, but this year we're round the corner at Nanna and Grandad's, as for once they aren't in New Zealand with my uncle and his family.
19. Can you name all of Santa's reindeers? You know Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen, Comet and Cupid and Donner and Blitzen, buuut do yoooou recaaaall, the most famous reindeer of allll? WELL?
20. Angel on the tree top or a star? Angel I think, usually is. I lifted her skirt last year. It was funny.
21. Open the presents Christmas Eve or morning? Morning for me and Sibling, after lunch for parents and grandparents. This is purely to make the day last longer, according to dad. He's very much a 'get your money's worth' kind of man.
22. Most annoying thing about this time of year? Singledom, and not being able to have Christmas in my own home, for my family to come to, instead of the other way around AGAIN.
23. Favourite ornament theme or colour? "OMG don't be so sad!" - indeed, Subz, but you can't beat red and green.
24. Favourite for Christmas dinner? Turkey and beef. And the rest. Pigs in blankets *drool*
25. What do you want for Christmas this year? Not to have a hangover and not to be bloated.

A headless ballet dancer?! That could have scarred you for life!
Shit being single at Christmas innit? Still better than Christmas with my ex though. That was often pure hell from start to finish.
