1. Wrapping paper. I like ribbons and bows and stickers. I also like boxes.
2. Real! We do have loads of real christmas trees in Australia Cari, you just need to know where to go to get them. They smell beautiful too. That's my favourite bit, the yummy scent and when the cats try to play with decorations.
3. I've never put up my own tree away from my parents. Isn't that odd? I guess its because I always try to get home for christmas.
4. See above.
5. Not hugely. It's a bit rich for me. I prefer mulled wine (e.g. wine with cloves, orange peel etc...)
6. Ooooh, remote controlled car, a Sony walkman or rollarskates.
7. My step-sister, she's very fussy.
8. Everyone else!
9. Nope.
10. Nothing is horrible per se, but I've received lots of beauty products made with things that irritate my skin. Essential oils and natural products please!
11. It's a Wonderful Life
12. It depends. When Morgs and I first met we both did all our Christmas shopping on Christmas eve. I often think about presents for a while before buying them.
13. ??
14. I think I've left beauty products that I couldn't use (see question 10.) at people's houses.
15. I have a weakness of mince pies. My mother-in-law makes them from scratch and I am a total addict! Apart from that I just adore turkey/stuffing/potato with gravy. I love gravy! Nom nom nom!
16. I love lights! I used to have Christmas lights in my home all year around. I like plain white lights in my real christmas tree. So magical. One of my favourite things to do is wander down the hallway at night and sit and watch the christmas tree light up the living room and sparkle outside. I also love going outside and crunching through the snow and seeing the lights on inside the house.
17. So many!!! My current humming favourite is one that I don't even know the name of, but the lyrics go: "It's the most wonderful time of the year..." I think I'll need a copy of your CDs!
18. No.
19. star
20. Christmas morning
21. Wishing I had more money to buy more pressies!
22. Silver and blue this year (it must be the heat!)
23. We never had stockings when I was growing up. We would go camping at the beach and decorate the native trees with tinsel and exchange gifts and eat curry. It was the most wonderful time.
24. ??
25. I go to church with my mum on christmas eve to sing songs, but not when I'm by myself.
