Today is Christmas eve, my favorite time of the
year, and I am going to spend my day with the family and my boyfriend, enjoying
good food, relaxing in front of the fireplace and exchanging the gifts. I found
this Christmas Tag and though it would be a great thing to do for today's
Blogmas.
What is your favorite Christmas movie?
Without a
doubt Holliday and Love Actually –it has become a strong family tradition to
watch them every year during Christmas time.
Have you ever had a white Christmas?
I had, I
think quite a few times when I was younger. I was hoping it would snow this Christmas,
but weather this year is unfortunately very warm and not at all winter-y.
Where do you usually spend your holidays?
I am a very
sentimental person and I think that holidays should be spent with family. I
always spend my Christmas (and usually New Year's Eve) with my family and my
boyfriend.
What is your favorite Christmas song?
For a few
years now I've been obsessed with the Fairytale of New York. It is such a
perfect song and I am capable of listening to this song throughout the whole
day. But I must add that I am completely obsessed with all the other Christmas
songs as well.
Do you open any presents on Christmas Eve?
Me and my
family are a bit untraditional and we actually open all the presents on
Christmas eve. I actually consider the Christmas Eve as Christmas.
Can you name all of Santa's reindeer?
I don't
even know all the names in English, plus I am not even sure I can name them in
Slovene. But I know Rudolph, does that count?
What holiday traditions are you looking forward
to most this year?
My family
and I have a tradition of watching all the Harry Potter series throughout December,
and if we are quick enough, we also watch the LOTR series.
Me and my
dad are huge puzzle enthusiasts and in December, we try and find some time to
build a few of them together in front of the fireplace, usually while watching
Christmas movies. It doesn't get much better that that!
Our tree is
fake and I don’t really mind that, even though I think it would be quite cool
to have a real one.
What is your all-time favorite holiday food/
sweet treat?
Our homemade
cookies. We only have time to make them in the Christmas time, but when we do,
it is a whole family project and I love it. They are so delicious!
Be honest – do you like giving gifts or receiving
them better?
I love
both, but I love giving gifts a little bit more. I start planning for gifts in
October or November already. I love the process of picking them out, finding
the right wrapping paper, wrapping them, giving them and then seeing happiness
of person’s face when they open them.
What is the best Christmas gift you have ever received?
In 2012 my
boyfriend did the “Twelve days of Christmas” for me, where he made and gave me
small gifts each day for 12 days until Christmas. It was the cutest, sweetest
and the most romantic thing ever.
What would be your dream place to visit for the
holiday season?
Me and my
friends were planning to visit Vienna, Bratislava and Salzburg this Christmas
time, and even though we unfortunately can’t really afford to go, it would
still be a great trip!
Are you a pro-present wrapper or do you fail
miserably?
Not to brag
but I am great at wrapping Christmas presents. Probably because I love it so
much and spend hours wrapping and decorating gifts –and loving every minute of
it!
Most memorable holiday moment?
The last
Christmas that I spent with my grandmother. It was –simply put- lovely.
What made you realize the truth about Santa?
