Would you rather…? CHRISTMAS TAG

16th December 2017      Lisa      18 Comments

Today’s post is another tag post – the lovely Lauren tagged me for the Would You Rather…? Christmas tag so, as I’m not doing Blogmas, here’s my contribution to some Christmas blogging!

Contents

  • 1. Lauren’s questions for me
    • 1.1. Giving presents or receiving them?
    • 1.2. Christmas Pudding or Trifle?
    • 1.3. ‘Home Alone’ or ‘A Christmas Carol’?
    • 1.4. Spend Christmas abroad or at home?
    • 1.5. Receive one very expensive present or a few not-so expensive presents?
  • 2. I tag
  • 3. My questions for you

Lauren’s questions for me

  1. Giving presents or receiving them?

    Giving them, no contest, because seeing Flora’s face light up on Christmas Day is just magical. And seeing Alan’s face crack into a smile is pretty exciting too!

  2. Christmas Pudding or Trifle?

    Erm, none of us like Christmas pudding or Trifle, so I’m going to say Christmas Pudding flavoured ice cream, which is weirdly delicious.

  3. ‘Home Alone’ or ‘A Christmas Carol’?

    “A Christmas Carol” but Flora will probably have all of her Christmas favourites on repeat again so I’ll have to go with “The Snowman and the Snow Dog” – although this one is actually pretty cute.

  4. Spend Christmas abroad or at home?

    Definitely at home, snuggled up with our three cats, and eating our body weight in food.

  5. Receive one very expensive present or a few not-so expensive presents?

    A few not so expensive presents – I’d be too scared to wear/use one very expensive present in case I wrecked or lost it!

My questions for you

  1. Blogmas or not?
  2. Wish lists or surprises?
  3. Shop bought or homemade presents?
  4. Online shopping or brave the crowds?
  5. Christmas Day with family or significant other?

Apologies to my nominees if you’ve already done this Christmas Tag but thank you again to Lauren, I had such fun with this post (as you may know, I LOVE doing tag posts).  I hope you all enjoyed reading it and don’t forget to let me know when you’ve posted your Christmas Tags too. Ho ho ho!

    This post was fun to read! Out of curiosity what is a trifle? Is it similar to pudding? And I feel the same way, wearing expensive clothes/ jewerly would make me feel nervous also lol

      Thank you! Trifle is a mix of sponge, custard, fruit and cream – it sounds a bit full on but it’s quite nice really – I think it originated in the 1970’s but I could be wrong!

    Being cuddled up to three cats, eating all the food sounds like my idea of Christmas perfection. A Christmas Carol is such a nice festive film with a lovely message! Great post Lisa and thank you for tagging me <3 xx

    I totally agree with you on the giving presents thing – I get so embarrassed when people watch me open gifts but I love totally staring at them opening mine, haha! And your ‘at home’ Christmas sounds perfect – I don’t think it would feel the same if I wasn’t with family on the big day!

    I’m loving reading all these Christmas Would You Rather Tags. I agree with giving presents – I absolutely adore spending ages finding the perfect present for someone and seeing their face when they open it. But I often feel a bit awks opening presents and I get a bit sad and annoyed because despite saying I don’t want anything to my mum, she always gets me more than I want / need! So I just end up feeling bad to be honest haha! xxx

And to prune them hard, taking lots of cuttings for new plants. I do this every year, and my plant loving friends all know what they’ll be getting in due course! 💖

Great value though, she’s been flowering for months - an absolute bargain supermarket buy from a few years ago, and proof you really don’t need to spend a lot on plants. 🌹
