The lovely Carolin from Mummy Alarm has tagged me in an Ultimate Christmas Meme and seeing as thought I LOVE Christmas how could I not join in?
1. The Christmas songs I can even listen to in June is…
Hmmm this is a toughie probably Fairytale of New York (I am agreeing with Carolin here) because it is a brilliant record and would sound great any time of the year I think.
2. Hot chocolate, egg nog or mulled wine?
Oooh another toughie!! I love all of those drinks but I guess I would opt for hot chocolate out of all of them topped with whipped cream, marshmallows and a flake mmmm
3. When do you put your decorations up?
Usually about 2 weeks before Christmas Day – infact we put our tree up tonight (13th ). actually we only put a tree and a garland up and any cards we receive as asides from our tree we don’t hang any other decorations up in our house. Yet anyway, this may change once the boys get bigger and want to adorn our walls with homemade paper chains etc..

4. What are you having for Christmas dinner?
The works (hopefully – I am not hosting this year as we are off to my OH’s parents) which will be roast turkey with all the trimming and lots of vegetables. then for pudding will be my homemade christmas pudding and a panetone dessert which I will be making too. Mmmmmm :0

5. What’s your favourite Christmas tradition?
I don’t know if I actually have one as such, I want to start at least one now I have a family of my own. Hmmm I must give this some thought

7. When did you discover the truth about Santa?
I would have been about 9 – I didn’t guess but Mum thought I had so she told me! I was a bit gutted and I was sworn to keep it quiet so that my brother wouldn’t discover the truth. However, to be fair to my Mum she let me carry on receiving Father Christmas presents for a few more years after that top keep up the pretence for my brother.

8. How do you decorate your Christmas tree?
As of last year I use a theme of red, white and gold and we have the usual baubles, some red beading and a star on the top of it but no tinsel. We have a real tree, which I love but I hate the needles dropping off. I am also wondering how this years tree will fair with the boys wanting to touch it all the time I expect!!

9. What’s the best thing about Christmas?
Oh where do I start? I love everything about it but probably choosing the presents for people and seeing them open them. But I also love hearing all the Christmas songs and the build up and all the decorations that light up at night and just the same excitement I still feel now as I did as a child.

Yay, thanks for the tag – Great meme 🙂
We also put our tree up last night and Amy was slightly confused by it this morning. She was checking out the entire living room thinking everything had changed, haha. Thanks for joining in and ho ho ho 🙂 x
Great stuff. We put our decorations up at the weekend just gone. Like you we’ve skipped the tinsel and don’t have decorations elsewhere.
mmmmmm, you’ve got me thinking about Christmas dinner! We haven’t got any traditions yet either. I’d like to start some but there’s so much other Christmas organising to do that it’ll have to wait at least another year!
Great meme. Loved the carol singing answer. 😉 x
Thanks for the tag! That is good going to not find out about Santa till you were 9! Amazing! xx
Fab post, I love giving the presents that I’ve spent ages picking, wrapping and loving!
