A Christmas Tag! | Blogmas Day 14

-

Hey Guys x

Today I'm doing a Christmas Tag!

I found a tag on this blog, check it out here! I'm only answering some of the questions.

Feel free to do this tag yourself!

1. What is your favourite Christmas film?
I think mine has to be Love Actually. There are so many films that I love that take place at Christmas, and are therefore 'Christmas films', but Love Actually is my favourite that's overtly about Christmas. I always watch it around this time because it just really puts me in the most Christmassy of moods!

2. Have you ever had a white Christmas?
I actually can't remember! Maybe when I was younger but certainly not for the last few years!

3. Where do you usually spend your holiday?
If you mean the Christmas period, at home. But Christmas day in particular I usually spend at my aunt's house.

4. What is your favourite Christmas song?
Probably Mariah Carey's version of 'Santa Claus is Coming to Town'. I really love that song! It's really festive and exciting and can always get me ready for Christmas - even when I'm listening to it in July!



5. Do you open any presents on Christmas Eve?
Nope! We always wait until Christmas morning to open any presents. Then we open them all at once and spend the rest of the morning using them!

6. Can you name all of Santa's reindeer?
Dasher, Donner, Dancer, Vixen, Blitzen, Rudolph, Prancer... how many are there? Am I forgetting one? Let me know what I forgot in the comments!

7. Is your Christmas tree real or fake?
Fake! We use the same tree every year. Hopefully next year we can buy a new one! But fake is a lot easier to deal with than a real one.

8. Be honest: Do you like giving or receiving gifts better?
Honestly... receiving! I like giving gifts when I've put a lot of effort into them, but it really depends who I'm buying for. If I'm buying for someone that knows exactly what they want, and therefore what I'm buying them, it's not exciting because we both know exactly what they'll receive. But with me, I never really know what I'm getting, which makes the Christmas period so much more exciting!

9. Are you a pro present wrapper, or do you fail miserably?
I fail! I am a failure at wrapping presents, so to be honest, I don't so it anymore. I get my mum to wrap the presents for my sister and friends, and I get my sister to wrap the presents for my mum. It works out well for me!

10. What made you realise the truth about Santa?
I don't remember ever really believing in Santa. I'm quite logical, so I never 100% got how the guy would fit into the chimney, but I never spoiled the belief for my sister, who definitely did believe in Santa at one point!

Thank you for reading.

It's 11 days until Christmas!

Come back tomorrow for my birthday!! Blogmas day 12

Hot Frosty | Blogmas Day 17

  It's Blogmas day 17! When Cathy (Lacey Chabert) accidentally brings a snowman to life, she discovers the magic Jack the snowman (Dustin Milligan) brings to the town of Hope Springs. This is the third of four highly anticipated Netflix Christmas originals this year that I'm including in Blogmas. And while it's not the most original story, I've always loved the idea of Jack Frost, so I was excited to see it. Thankfully I liked this one - though maybe not as much as I wanted to. I really liked the character of Cathy. Not only was she really likeable, but because we get to know her so quickly, we can really root for her. I also loved the tone of the film. It didn't take itself seriously at all and made it clear to the audience that we're just there to have fun. All of the actors, main and supporting, were great. They were so much fun to watch and all played their characters really well. The chemistry between Cathy and Jack is great! You really want to see them tog...

Christmas Holidate | Blogmas Day 19

-

  It's Blogmas day 19! When Holly (Jasmine Burke) uses her company's app to find a date to bring home for the holidays, a glitch in the app causes more than one date to turn up. This film had an interesting premise because it seemed really original, and it looked like there would be a lot of chances for fun and humour. I didn't end up liking it as much as I wanted to. But one thing I liked was how much more modern it felt than most of the other movies I've watched for Blogmas this year. Even just the idea of her finding her date(s) through an app is original for a Christmas film. It's nice that the movie was family-focused, but the family it focuses on aren't that interesting and can't really carry the story. The main couple have chemistry and it was fun to watch them interact, but I never really cared about them one way or the other. And if for some reason they didn't end up together, it wouldn't have mattered to me. It took about 40 minutes for the...

Holiday for Hire | Blogmas Day 20

  It's Blogmas day 20! After getting dumped right before going home for the holidays, Katie (Christie Leverette) hires a man to pretend to be her boyfriend in front of her family. Finally a fake dating trope! A couple of the films this year have played with the theme, but this one really goes for it and I love that! But as much as I loved the premise, the film didn't really live up to it. However, one thing I loved as much as I loved the premise was Katie. Right from the beginning she was a character I could get behind and really root for. I also really loved Katie's roommate Sarah (Jeanne Lau) and I wish she had been given more to do, and more of a story. Why is she spending Christmas alone?? I tried not to look at the film from a point of realism, as this is a Christmas movie after all, but where was the sense of safety? The main couple are complete strangers at the start and it felt weird to see how quickly they trusted each other. And while I liked the characters intera...

A Christmas Proposal | Blogmas Day 16

-

  It's Blogmas day 16! When Jason (Joshua T. Shipman) is forced to move for work, and his girlfriend cannot go with him because they are not married, he creates an elaborate plan to propose by Christmas. So apparently there are two films with the same name, made in the same year, and it looks like I picked the worst of the two! From the very beginning, the tone of the film is really odd. It was taking itself way too seriously for what is supposed to be a light Christmas movie. The plot didn't really make much sense. A few times throughout the film there was a point made that the character didn't want to be with his girlfriend, and had actually requested a be transferred to get away from her. So why are we watching him plan a proposal? Why is he planning a proposal in the first place? There were really weird moments throughout the film where the sound quality would drastically change when a character was speaking but not on camera, despite supposedly being in the same room. ...

Christmas on Ice | Blogmas Day 21

  It's Blogmas day 21! Former figure skater Courtney (Abigail Klein) teams up with former hockey player Noah (Ryan Cooper) to save the local ice skating rink from closing. I picked this one because it just seemed so quintessentially rom-com-y that I had no choice! And it also seemed like it would be really Christmassy, which is always important for a Christmas film. Unfortunately this one wasn't as romantic as it could have been. But I will say the Christmas part holds up - is there anything more Christmassy than ice skating?? My main gripe with the film is that I completely fell in love with a couple and was willing to spent all my time and energy on them. The only problem was, it wasn't the main couple! It was the side couple who were given no time! If the main couple of this film had been Beth (Caroline Portu) and Trevor (Matthew Grimaldi) this could have been a great Christmas movie. I really liked what little I saw of them and wanted so much more than the film gave us....
