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...

Quirky Reads: The Joy of No

It might be February already but I said I wanted to read more books this year than I did last year so here is my musings on the first book I've finished reading this year!  Quick Review Genre(s): Self Help/Motivation  Who Wrote It: Summerdale Publishers Did I Dig It?: Heck yeah! 2 Second Summary: Some sound advice on saying no. Quirky Queen Rating: 👑 👑👑👑👑  5 out of 5 Crowns from me on this occasion. Every once in a while I need a reminder that saying no is not only acceptable, but necessary.  I also read it while my neighbour was having carpets fitted and it distracted me from the loud hammering! Extended Musings I think I've mentioned before that I struggle when it comes to saying no.  I'm aware of the word's existence and can use it, I just don't like doing it.  While reading through some of the advice in this book, I found myself nodding along at alot of the section titles because I struggle saying no in those situations.  My biggest problem...

Morning cup of nonsense

I’m forty-ish minutes into my working day, I’m not dressed yet, my curly hair has succumbed to bedhead and needs washed and I’m still wearing my muppets pyjama top. However, my morning cup is filled with caffeine and enough flavour that I can’t taste the coffee, so I decided it was time for a blog! Here we!  I was reading an email the other day - I always read mailing list/marketing & comms emails as I know a Rachie somewhere has worked on that and that the stats will help whether I’m a converted to end goal reader or not. Anyhusan, it was about how to get buy in from colleagues for your work and to be honest, I don’t think that’s as big a struggle as getting buy in from myself.  I am forever telling myself not to try things, not to suggest things, not to experience things. And why? Because it might not work? Because someone might think it is or I am rubbish? So what?  Other people try things and it doesn’t work - generally speaking, no bad thing happens. So what’s st...
