Christmas Guide for the Family

With gifts for the family you want to keep them fun and interesting.
Here's a few ideas:

We bought this last year and it has left us laughing endlessly about how competitive we get over this simple game - Pucket.

Another fun game to play is the Electric Shock Game, probably best to play before the grandparents come round.

For families with younger children the DVD Frozen would be perfect to watch on Christmas or Boxing Day.

For those with older children although it is not Christmassy it's hilarious and perfect for a laugh with all the family - 

If your mum is as big a fan of Pointless as my mum is, this is a great present to give to get the whole family involved with her love haha.

A simple but brilliant present for the family is a packet of After Eights simply so they can all play the After Eight Challenge. If you don't know what it is click here and prepare for some laughs with the family.

Listen to some festive songs over the holidays with Mr. Bublé.

iTunes has the newest version.

No Christmas is complete without some festive Christmas Jumpers.

Primark do some great ones 

For Christmas Eve, Day and Boxing Day cosy up in a onesie.

Blogmas Day 8

Christmas Tag

So this tag was started by Jewel Beauty, check out her version here. I absolutely love it this tag it's so  cute and I hope you enjoy it.

1. What time of year do you start you Christmas shopping?

I start the 1st December, unless there is something I know will go out of stock, then I order it immediately. I also do 95% of my shopping online because I'm lazy.

2. Do you have any festive recipes for food or drink you limit solely to the Christmas season to share?

No we do not have any recipes but we do only have Terry's Chocolate Orange at Christmas - just a tradition.

3. Tell me how Christmas goes down in your house.

My brother and I wake up around 9-10 and open our presents from Santa then we all shower go downstairs and open the presents from each other. We have Christmas lunch around 2 with the four of us (me, my brother, mum and dad) and my grandma, granddad and great aunt. We chill the rest of the day.

4. Do you have any Christmas traditions?

The Terry's Chocolate Orange I mentioned earlier and every year I buy my brother the Guinness Book of Records.

5. Do you have a favourite festive coffee?

No I hate coffee, tea and hot chocolate all the way!

6. Do you have a favourite Christmas song?

Anything from the Michael Bublé Christmas album.

7. What do you do Christmas Eve?

I watch Love Actually snuggled up on the sofa and by the end of the film everyone else has joined me to watch, including the dogs.

8. What's your Christmas wrapping strategy?

Plan according to the shape. Haha! I'm a good wrapper and actually do all the wrapping for everyone (except the presents they're giving me) and they pay me - extra pocket money.

9. What's your dream gift this year?

BaByliss Curl Secret Hair Curler

10. Describe your Christmas tree. Real/artificial? How is it decorated?

We have an artificial tree because we put it up the 1st weekend of December, if we had a real one it probably wouldn't last. My dad and I decorate the tree together every year, our motto if you see a decoration it goes on the tree.

11. Do you decorate just the tree or other areas of your house?

We decorate the entire house. We have lights outside, stars hanging from the ceiling, you name it we have it.

12. What do you wear on Christmas Day?

Both me and my brother wear pyjamas usually ones we have received as a present.

13. MY QUESTION: What do you do on Boxing Day?

We all chill and watch the films we got yesterday. Eat loads of leftovers and play with any toys we have.

So what now?

I TAG YOU!!
