Blogmas Day 18: A Christmas Tag





Today's picture was taken from George Square as I went past.

1.What does a typical Christmas day look like for you? Waking up early....waking my mum up...opening presents, watching mum open her presents....making my dad get up and open his presents. Breakfast made by my dad......mess around with presents for a while.  Go to my brothers house, spend some time there with him, his wife and the kids......head home for a while and chill.  Head to my uncle and aunts for Christmas dinner, open some more presents, play some games, occasionally sing some christmas songs, watch some tv, come home and chill.

2. What's your favourite Christmas time tradition?
It's definitely my christmas dinner!! A close second is watching Christmas Movies with my mum. 
3. What's your favourite Christmas Song and/or Carol?
Christmas song is Fairytale of New York by The Pogues and Kirsty McColl
Christmas Carol is either Do You Hear What I Hear or Oh Holy Night.4. What's your favourite Christmas food?
Christmas Dinner, the roast, the potatoes, the carrots.
5. When you do decorate for Christmas?Usually about  days before Christmas.

6. Do you own an ugly Christmas sweater?
Yes, it has a reindeer with a flashing nose.7. What's your favourite Christmas movie?
Ahhhhhhh I can't answer this question!! I have so many!!
Umm..........The Grinch? Maybe. Nightmare before Christmas, possibly! Too hard to pick!8. What's one thing you've asked for as a Christmas present this year?
Dairy Free Chocolate!
9. What's the most exciting present you've ever received? 
Oh goodness, that's hard to call! I always get pretty excited around shoes!

10. Do you go to Church around Christmas time?
Yep.11. Do you typically send your own Christmas cards?
I'm notoriously bad at remembering to write Christmas Cards...I'm also notoriously bad at remembering to buy Christmas Cards...where possibly my mum counteracts this by sticking my name on the ones she writes.12. What's your worst Christmas memory?
One year our television broke in the middle of the Gavin and Stacey Christmas special on Christmas Eve and wasn't fixed until later in the week.....that didn't feel too festive!

I'm Grateful For: Autumn Joys

I did it again, I went nearly a whole year without posting anything, because I'm rubbish. If you're new here, I do this. If you're not new, you know this.  I have no real excuse this year - last year was the year of opposites, I had a lot on at work, my mother and father in law died 21 days apart, I got married four months later, there was grief, there was a Canadian honeymoon, there was stuff going on. I'd be lying if I said this year had been smooth sailing, but there's been more of a sense of calm.  I get to autumn and I get all airy fairy and contemplative, it's no longer about making it through the year, it's, as my boss beautifully put it this week, limping towards Christmas.  Years ago, and about three blogs ago - if you can be bothered scrolling far enough through the archive I've uploaded here - I used to write happy lists of all the things that made me happy, because I was a bit like Joy from inside out - happy because happy and even when it...

Stop faking it: 30 day challenge #5

  Something I realised today that I have allowed to feed my imposter syndrome is the fact that I look younger than I am.  I’m quite lucky in that respect, for the most part, people are kind to me because they see the youthful face and have a comforting tone and a kinder delivery. Sometimes though, it can manifest in someone being patronising or dismissive of ‘the daft wee lassie’ I don’t always carry myself as the 32 year old that I am, which can perhaps come off as inexperience or ineptitude. When I do start to carry myself as a competent and experienced 32 year old, I’ve found people who assume I’m younger can read it as ‘getting above my station’  It was a harmless comment from an older colleague talking about old money that sparked the thought process in my head but it has reminded me to address it. It perhaps comes under ‘practice it until your perfect it’ - I can work on carrying myself not so much as a ‘grown up’ but as someone who has the experience and knowledge ...

Blogmas: Prattling nonsense about Christmas and Potatoes

  We all knew when I posted a Blogmas post on December 1st that it would be highly unlikely I'd post daily.  It's not laziness, I promise. I just don't like posting when even I don't find it interesting!  My December has been very different this year.  On a 'normal' year I'd be out nearly every day playing Christmas music either in the street, in a church of some sort or in a care facility for the elderly.  This year, I've largely been sat on my posterior binge watching Riverdale.  I've cut down largely on actually reading social media but I have been watching people's stories and posting nonsense, I just find it healthier not to engage with everything I scroll past.  I think that might be what I take from this year, consume less - create more.  James christened me 'Little Miss Christmas' in the past and that's actually quite a fair description, for a grown woman I am absolutely nuts on Christmas.  It's fair to say I get high on t...
