Hi Everybody, It's ME ! I know long time no see, no hear but it was the longest semester of my college career thus far so I needed some time to breath. But finals are over so now I am able to rest a LITTLE more. I say a LITTLE because the reality is, when you get older there is always something to get done. To the point where when you're doing absolutely nothing it's a blessing.
Anyway, I just wanted to bring you something small and sweet for the holidays so I decided to do a Christmas Tag! Christmas is my absolute favorite holiday :) filled with snow, family, warmth, food, and fun.
Let's get started ... ho ho ho!
- What is your favorite Christmas movie?
My favorite Christmas movies are Home Alone 1 and 2. These movies are as about as old as I am and still get played religiously on TV today. They're great classics! I remember watching them as a kid wondering how "Kevin" was able to successfully make those booby traps, I tried to create a trap once... but then I realized Science wasn't my thing. There are a lot of chain reactions involved.
- Do you open your presents on Christmas Eve or Christmas morning?Could you imagine being 6 years old walking passed the tree everyday knowing it's Christmas only to hear that you can't open your gifts until everyone is home? (Which was always night time) At the time it was torture!
But now, I open them within the week of Christmas. I have no real anticipation anymore, because most of the time I receive monetary gifts.
- Do you have a favorite Christmas memory?
At about 10 or so and I played one of the sheep in the church Christmas play. And we had to crawl around on the stage saying baaa baaa for what seemed hours. It was the worst role I was ever assigned.
4. Favorite Festive food?
Sorrel ? Which is not a food but a Jamaican drink that it is made at Christmas time. it's made with ginger, rum, cinnamon, sorrel plant, etc.
- Favorite Christmas gift ?
My mom always gives me the best Christmas gifts, because it's always exactly what I ask for. And last year when my boyfriend surprised me with a laptop. Or the year I got two Easy Bake ovens for Christmas or The barbie dolls whose hair changed colors with a cool blow dryer.
- Favorite Christmas scent?
Apple Cinnamon and Pumpkin Spice, yum ! It certainly depends on the brand though because not all candles smell equally as good.
- Do you have any Christmas Eve traditions?
No but I can start one.
- What tops your tree?
If I had a tree, a star.
- As a kid what was the one (crazy, wild, extravagant) gift you always asked for but never received?
A pet ... now for some "a pet" may not fit any of those adjectives described but for my family it applies. I asked for a fish, the most simple pet there is and my mother refused. Then I asked for a dog, I was way out of my league asking for that one though. I was better off begging for the fish. Of which both I still don't have.
- What’s the best part about Christmas for you?
Being able to be around loved ones and giving everyone a gift and watching them smile. I love how I feel inside when I give to others, it's an unexplainable warm feeling.
