Blogmas #12 | Becca's Babble's #2: Christmas Traditions

Source: blog.interflora.co.uk
I am going to share with you how my family prepare and celebrate Christmas.

BEFORE CHRISTMAS
Before, we obviously make sure that all our Christmas shopping has been done and presents have been sent to family members we don’t see at Christmas. Twelve to fourteen days before Christmas, we put up our tree and other decorations and send out Christmas cards. On Christmas Eve we make sure the house is clean and tidy and my parents make sure we have everything we need, such as, food/snacks and drinks. And my Dad prepares all of the vegetables. We then go to bed whenever we want and try to sleep!

CHRISTMAS DAY
On Christmas morning we usually wake up early (not on purpose, lack of sleep) and then make a hot drink. The four of us then go upstairs to our living room and open presents. My Sister and I usually eat chocolate for breakfast and we all have a glass of bucks fizz. My parents then start cooking Christmas dinner. My Nanna and Pops come around mid-morning to afternoon with more presents and to open their presents from us. We usually sit down to our turkey and vegetable dinner between three and four o’ clock. We then have desert and after we watch the television. When my grandparents have gone home, we all get ready for bed and sit and watch the Christmas specials of TV shows we watch. We then go to bed whenever we want.

AFTER CHRISTMAS
The day after Christmas on the 26th is called Boxing Day in the UK and this is when the Christmas sales start. We get up a little earlier, so we can get ready and go sale shopping. Then in the mid-afternoon we go around to my grandparents’ house and have a buffet. We then watch some more TV and sometimes fall asleep. Later on in the evening we go home and get ready for bed and watch more TV.

My family traditions do slightly come across as being boring, but we like to spend it together and relax before going back to work!

What are your Christmas traditions?

Escada Collector's Edition Gift Set

I’ve always been interested in trying Escada fragrances, but there are so many to choose from and I didn’t want to risk buying a full size bottle. I came across this little gift set whilst I was shopping online at Boots and clicked buy straight away! All four fragrances are in a tiny, but cute 4ml potion looking bottle. Here are the four scents you get to try:- TURQUOISE SUMMER This bottle is a turquoise/clear theme and contains the notes; pineapple, strawberry, raspberry, blackcurrant, peach, violet, orange blossom, vanilla, sandalwood and musk. It smells really strong of orange blossom and kind of like a car air freshener. It does linger quite a while on the skin, but it is not really a strong scent. Overall I don’t like this scent. It doesn’t really smell of anything to me and what you can smell isn’t what I would call pleasant. I give this perfume 1/5 . BORN IN PARADISE This bottle’s theme is the same as Turquoise Summer and contains the notes; green apple, watermelo...

Graze - Box #6

Welcome to my second Graze delivery of the year. I was quite excited when I first opened it, even though I have tried one of the treats before. A closer look at my treats. Cracking Black Pepper Cashews “Black pepper cashews, roasted cashews & redskin peanuts” I have had cashews before and they are not my favourite, but the black pepper completely changes them and they are actually quite nice and the flavour is not too overpowering. I am not keen on the roasted cashews because they don’t really taste of anything and the bit of flavour they do have is very dry. Lastly, the peanuts are kind of strange. They kind of taste soily and dry, therefore I don’t like these. My Thai “Sweet chilli sauce with baked soy bites” This was my first experience of this one and you can really smell the soy on the bites and they have a funny texture, but are really yummy. I didn’t try the chilli sauce because I didn’t like the scent and I am not big on sauces anyway. ...
