What’s one thing that always happens on Christmas day?
I stay in my pyjamas for as long as possible! I always get new pyjamas, open them first and then wear them all day.
What do you look forward to the most over Christmas?
Christmas Eve with my family, since I was born we have all been going to the same restaurant for a Christmas dinner. My whole family goes and we only see each other once a year so it’s really nice to take a moment away from our busy lives and pull a few crackers.
Wake up early or sleep in late?
I tend to wake up at around 8am, so not too early and not too late. I like to seize the day.
What’s your go-to outfit for Christmas day?
The comfiest pyjamas I can find and a new cosy dressing gown! Later on for dinner I usually put something sparkly on, whether it’s a cosy jumper or a new dress.
Fave cheesy Christmas song?
OBVIOUSLY Mariah Carey – ‘All I want for Christmas’.
Do you have any family traditions?
The Christmas Eve tradition of all meeting up and going for dinner and the Christmas day tradition of keeping my pyjamas on all day.
Worst Christmas present you ever recieved?
Socks! Unless they’re beautiful, fluffy, knee high ones, who wants socks?!
Do you own an ugly Christmas jumper?
I don’t do ugly Christmas jumpers haha, I love pretty, over the top Christmas jumpers rather than ugly ones!
What’s your festive Starbucks order?
Pumpkin spiced latte of course, or anything with cinnamon.
Fave Christmas movie?
Home Alone.

What’s one thing that always happens on Christmas day?
I always bake 3 apple pies on Christmas day, it’s a tradition in my family and we usually all wake up early to peel the apples and make the dough. Nothing smells more magical when they are baking in the oven.
What do you look forward to the most over Christmas?
My family are scattered all over Europe and the USA, so Christmas is cherished because we all come together, that’s what I love most about the season.
Wake up early or sleep in late?
I wake up early to start baking. I’m terribly unskilled in the kitchen, but come Christmas day, my inner chef comes out.
What’s your go-to outfit for Christmas day?
Pyjamas! I stay home all day on Christmas , so something cute and slouchy. An elasticated waistband is the priority!
Fave cheesy Christmas song?
I love the Nashville rendition of ‘Baby it’s cold outside’.
Do you have any family traditions?
My parents are seperated but live in 2 houses divided by a valley of land that is my families, so my brothers and I will go back and forth between their houses eating and opening presents!
Worst Christmas present you ever recieved?
I’d say the worst Christmas present I ever received was from an ex-boyfriend – he bought me a comb. I’ve never used a comb in my life!
Do you own an ugly Christmas jumper?
Of course! It’s hilariously oversized, I’ve had it since I was a kid.
What’s your festive Starbucks order?
I love chai tea lattes with extra chai and cinnamon at Christmas.
Fave Christmas movie?
It’s A Wonderful Life.

What’s one thing that always happens on Christmas day?
Every year me and my sister unexpectedly end up buying each other at least one gift that is exactly the same, it’s an on-going joke now.
What do you look forward to the most over Christmas?
Spending time with the whole family.
Wake up early or sleep in late?
Early of course!
What’s your go-to outfit for Christmas day?
A onesie! Super cosy 🙂
Fave cheesy Christmas song?
Has to be Mariah Carey ‘All I want for Christmas’. It never gets old.
Do you have any family traditions?
We have a family tradition where we open one present on Christmas eve which usually means everyone trying to find a present shaped like a DVD so we can all settle down and watch a film together.
Worst Christmas present you ever recieved?
Socks!
Do you own an ugly Christmas jumper?
What’s your festive Starbucks order?
Spiced pumpkin latte without a doubt. I wish you could buy it all year.
Fave Christmas movie?
Home Alone. It’s a classic!

What’s one thing that always happens on Christmas day?
A hangover has become a unwelcome obstacle on Christmas morning the past few years… but not this year I tell you! (I said the same last year, doh!)
What do you look forward to the most over Christmas?
Seeing the reactions of loved ones receiving their gifts. This year I got my mum Robbie Williams tickets and it’s such a win win because he’s my guilty pleasure so I get to see him too.
Wake up early or sleep in late?
Early but the regretful alcoholic from the night before would opt to sleep in…
What’s your go-to outfit for Christmas day?
Something sparkling until about 5pm – that’s when the inevitable new comfy PJs come out to play!
Fave cheesy Christmas song?
Blikn 182 – ‘Happy Holidays You B*stard’. I can’t do tradtional Christmas songs, when my gym classes start playing them I die inside!
Do you have any family traditions?
I personally like to surprise my Nan in the afternoon at her house (before she falls asleep of course), however I don’t suppose it’s much of a surprise these days!
Worst Christmas present you ever recieved?
Oh god, one comes to mind. It’s not so much the present, it’s the situation around it! When I was around 14 GHDs were the in thing at school… seriously, people even brought them in to use inbetween lessons… and somehow my older sister knew I wanted a pair (might have been my constant nagging and my mum tipping her off). I however had naturally straight hair and just loved the idea of using them for the ribbon-like-curling effect you can do with them. Christmas comes and woah, there they are, my sister has got my GHDs… but alas, she has got me the extra big paddle size for thick and long hair which doesn’t work for curling… because, after all, I had long hair and she assumed as a straightener, I would be using these for straightening. I was filled with mixed emotions and had to ask my mum ‘what do I do? WHAT DO I DO?!?!’ I looked like an ungrateful brat from asking her to swap them, and she’s hated me ever since basically, the end. Haha not really, well sort of… the situation still fills me with awkwardness. Don’t try and do anything nice for me guys!!
Do you own an ugly Christmas jumper?
There’s still an ugly Christmas jumper shaped space in my wardrobe this year. I should purchase one.
What’s your festive Starbucks order?
I’m such a basic biatch, I still get a skinny chocolate cream frappuccino… doesn’t matter if it’s minus 5, I’ll be sipping on that sweet ice drink… however I suppose they do swap the regular cream to chocolate cream around xmas, so if I’m feeling a bit freaky I opt for that… if that counts?
Fave Christmas movie?
Does The Shining count..? Haha It’s my fave.
