Hello Everyone :)
I hope you're all excited for Christmas, and I want to thank you for joining me today for Blogmas Day Twenty Three!
I was considering doing some type of Christmas traditions post for today's Blogmas, but I stumbled upon The Christmas Book Blogger Tag that was created by Trish from Between My Lines
I thought it not only looked like a really fun tag to do, but it also includes a few questions about how you typically spend Christmas and such, so I thought it would be the perfect post for today.
What is your favorite Christmas scene in a book?
The scene that definitely comes to mind for this one is from Little Women. I always loved how Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy come to learn the true meaning of Christmas, and how it ends up being one of their most enjoyable holidays after all.
Do you have any Christmas book traditions?
Every year I read Debbie Macomber's newest Christmas book sometime during December. I usually read Katherine Spencer's newest release too, but unfortunately I never got to hers this year.
Do you prefer to get presents of book vouchers or books?
Honestly I'm happy with whichever, as I love getting to shop for my own books after Christmas, but I also love when people take the time to pick out a book for me that they think I'll love.
Do you give books as presents?
Definitely. Not for every single person on my list, but the majority of them I do.
What bookish item is on your Christmas wishlist?
I've really been wanting a book sleeve from Etsy lately. I never go anywhere without a book, but I'm always worried about it getting damaged in my work bag, purse, or suitcase.
What 3 books would you love Santa to have in his sack for you?
Oooo this is such a hard one, and I feel like my answer keeps honestly changing. I'd love to see Paper Hearts by Ali Novak, Textrovert by Lindsay Summers, and Waterfall by Lisa Tawn Bergen.
Fake Christmas tree or real Christmas tree?
This for me depends on where I am. My hubby and I always have a fake tree, and I love it. However, my mom always had a real tree when we were growing up, and now when I visit her house at Christmas I definitely expect to see a real tree.
What's your favorite thing about Christmas?
Spending quality time with my loved ones, and celebrating the birth of our Lord and Savior. Also, watching everyone's reactions to their gifts I give them.
What Christmas book would you recommend?
One of my all time favorites is A Texas Legacy Christmas by Diann Mills
What dish on your Christmas menu are you most looking forward to?
Pretty much everything, although the mashed potatoes and stuffing are always my favorite. I also always look forward to cranberry pear pie, and I'm making it myself this year for the first time ever.
When do you open your Christmas presents?
I definitely don't have one answer to this question. On Christmas Eve we open gifts at my moms with my immediate family, On Christmas morning we open presents at my moms with my stepfamily, on Christmas afternoon Neil and I exchange our gifts, and then this year on Christmas night we will be exchanging gifts with my Dad and his new family, and we will be exchanging with Neil's family on December 28th.
What's your favorite Christmas song?
I love a lot of the lesser known carols like Come on Ring Those Bells, A Thousand Candles, Ding Dong Merrily On High, I Saw Three Ships, Good King Wencesles, and Here we come a wassailing, and also Mary's Boy Child and Angels We Have Heard on High.
Are you dreaming of a white Christmas?
I don't really have to dream of it since we already have one. I'm not the biggest fan of snow or the cold, mainly because of my raynauds disease, but I definitely would miss the snow if we didn't have it at Christmas.
Thanks so much for reading guys! I hope you all have a great rest of your day, and I'll see you tomorrow on Christmas Eve for Blogmas Day 24!
