At least it would be warm in there, although harder work for more than one night. Would you rather be an elf in Santa’s workshop or a reindeer on Santa’s sleigh?Įlf in the workshop.
They’re a lot of effort and my decorating skills aren’t the best, plus there are other things to eat. Would you rather give up Christmas trees or Christmas cookies?Ĭhristmas cookies. Hearing it once all holiday season is enough. I’m not really a fan of Merry Christmas Everybody. Although I don’t tend to wear either unless I’m going out dancing so I’d wear sparkles.Ĭhristmas song choice – The Pogues Fairytale in New York or Slade’s Merry Christmas Everybody? I’m not really a fan of christmas jumpers, unless they’re subtle and tasteful. Ugly Chirstmas jumpers or wearing sparkles all Christmas season? I love cheesy Christmas movies, so I’d be quite happy watching those for the whole of the Christmas holidays. Watch cheesy Christmas movies or listen to Christmas songs for a day? Would you rather wear a Santa outfit or an elf outfit? I’m one of those people who will eat turkey dinner at every Christmas lunch/do I go to if it’s on the menu. Would you rather eat holiday food every day or never again?Įvery day. No preference really, although I should say Roses because I used to work at Cadbury.
I’d be happy to watch a couple of Christmas specials like Strictly or Call the Midwife, but we don’t have the tv on til fairly late if we’re out for tea like usual. But at home, it’s just N and myself who’ll play. We used to as children, and when we’re at family houses, we’ll take games with us. Playing games at Christmas or watching tv?
The OH isn’t a big christmassy person, so I doubt I’d get away withmuch else other than what we already do. It would depend which tradition I was giving up as we don’t really have many – just Christmas eve meal and big family tea at one of the houses (usually), but there’s plenty I’d like to start. Would you rather give up one family tradition or start a new one? It’s nice to see Christmas through N’s eyes, especially as on the farm it’s still a working day. Would you rather be a kid or a grown up during the holidays? If we’re at home, I tend to do both anyway. Just getting all the timings right and making sure the turkey is cooked ok is a lot of pressure. I’d rather clear the table, load the dishwasher and wash the rest. So I’m not sure I’d ever try it.Ĭook the Christmas dinner or clean it up/do the dishes? It always feels a bit weird as it wouldn’t have all the traditional things. I’ve never had Christmas at a restaurant or hotel.
Snow is a pain on the farm as well, because they need to check all the water troughs aren’t frozen, and can sometimes waste working time having to pull cars out of hedges/verges.Ĭhristmas dinner at home or at a restaurant?Īt home. But they made it in the end and luckily it didn’t last. My mum and brother nearly didn’t make it over to us as we’re in the sticks and the roads don’t get gritted. We’ve only had snow once that I remember, that fell on Christmas eve. White Christmas without family being able to visit or no snow Christmas with family?ĭefinitely no snow with family. Usually we have one off the farm, but this year my brother in law didn’t keep any so I had to order one from a local farm shop. But there’ll certainly be plenty of leftovers. I’ll be palming off a plate of Christmas dinner for my brother for leftovers, and I don’t know if we’ll be sharing the turkey with the inlaws. As children my mum tended to do beef or occasionally chicken, but she was never really a turkey fan (plus it was often only the 3 of us).
