I'm back with another blomas post! After reading the Christmas tag here I thought it was such a cute little tag and the perfect post for getting me in the festive mood, especially as we're a week into December!

1. What's your favourite thing about this time of year?

I don't even know, I just love Christmas. I love wearing cosy jumpers and cosy nights in with fairy lights, I love to lead up to Christmas when I do all my shopping and get more and more excited. I also love being able to spend so much time with my family. Growing up in a religious household, Christmas has always been a big deal so Christmas Eve and Christmas Day are so busy with seeing family and celebrating.

2. What's your favourite winter/christmas drink?

I have a few; I love hot Ribena or salted caramel green tea if I'm going for a hot drink, but if I want something alcoholic I love a good ole' snowball!

3. What's your go to shop for winter clothing?

This year I've actually done quite a bit of jumper shopping at New Look and Primark. Really affordable and so cosy too.

4. What are your top 3 Christmas songs?

Literally the whole Michael Buble Christmas album, I can't decide on just 3!

5. What do you want for Christmas this year?

I'd really like a case for my laptop because I haven't got one and I don't want to damage it dragging it home from uni or the library all the time.

6. How do you usually celebrate Christmas?

With lots of family! We always go to Church on Christmas Eve and then have a meal with family I won't see on the day. And then Christmas Day is filled with spending time with family, enjoying yummy food and exchanging gifts.

7. What's your favourite Christmas movie?

Hands down The Polar Express - I love it so much!

8. What's your favourite Christmas food?

Pigs in blankets are always good, but what can beat Christmas pudding with brandy butter?

9. What cosmetics can't you live without in winter?

Good moisturisers, both for face and body, thick lip balm and hand cream. Basically everything from this post!

10. Do you prefer giving or receiving presents? 

Generally I prefer giving presents, but it's so lovely to receive presents knowing people have seen something and thought that you'd like and appreciate it.

11. What's your favourite Christmas colour?

I love the classic green and red, but also golds and silvers too.

12. What's the funniest gift you've received?

I really don't know, probably something one of my brothers has given me if it's going to be anything, but I don't think I've ever received anything very funny.

13. What are your New Year's Resolutions?

I used to come up with loads and loads and never be able to stick to them, now I just go for being happy. It sounds so cliche but if I'm happy that's all that matters really.
