The Christmas Tag

This is actually the second time i have done this tag but when i was tagged by the lovely and wonderful Crystal Lily,i just had to do it!
Thank you so much Crystal and if anyone fancies following a very talented young lady with a fabulous blog,please do so here fivefootfourfashion.blogspot.co.uk  or on twitter @CrystalLily01.

So here goes and some of the questions are actually different which is brilliant!

1-What is your favourite Christmas movie?

 I think my favourite Christmas movie has got to be Miracle on 34th Street. It is such an awesome movie about a little girl who discovers dreams do come true if you really believe. Six-year-old Susan has doubts about childhood's most enduring miracle - Santa Claus. But after meeting a special department store Santa who's convinced he's the real thing, Susan is given the most precious gift of all - something to believe in. I love this movie and cried during it too!

2-Do you open your presents Christmas Eve or Morning?

It will be and always has been Christmas morning.It is just not the same opening them on Christmas eve! There always was however a stocking left at the end of my bed when i was little with the most amazing cheap toys in it,i always loved this part of my presents! Best presents ever!

3-Do you have a favourite Christmas memory?

 Was going down early to see all my presents before my parents when i was about 5 or 6,i only did it once and managed to sneak back upstairs again before being caught. I will always remember that.The excitement was unreal but i was disappointed that i didn't see Santa!

4-Favourite festive food?

I just totally love the Christmas turkey with all the trimmings.We always have the traditional turkey and ham (i dont eat the ham),stuffing,mash and roast potatoes,carrots and creamy cauliflower,it's just so delicious. I always look forward to it.

5-Favourite Christmas gift?

My favourite christmas gift was a teddy bear that i got when i was about 5,i remember that i kept him with me in bed for years until he finally was so old and worn out! He is a precious memory for me and is without doubt my fav christmas gift!

6-Favourite Christmas scent?

 My favourite Christmas scent has got to be the scent of the Christmas tree.We always have had a new real tree rather than an artificial one and i just love the scent of the pine! Christmas is not the same without the scent of a real tree!

7-What top's your tree?

On top of my tree is a star! That was short and sweet lol!

8-Do you have any Christmas Eve traditions?

To be honest,not really.Obviously as i got older,things changed.I have usually worked on Christmas Eve! When i get home however,i will have a glass or 2 of wine and just relax!

9-As a kid,what was the one present you wished for but never received?

when i was small,i wanted this particular Barbie doll and the accessories that go with it,i never got that particular Barbie and i was told by my dad that he tried for weeks before to get it but it just didn't happen! I didn't understand at the time but years later when it was explained,i felt so sorry for my dad as it had been playing on his mind for years!

10-What's the best part of Christmas for you?

 The best part about Christmas for me is buying gifts for the people i love. I am kinda abit of a last minute shopping girl but i do put alot of thought into the gifts that i do eventually buy. And spending time with family and around this time,we always play some sort of a game,i hope it's trivial pursuit,i love this game!

Thank you so much again to the lovely Crystal for giving me the opportunity to do this tag post and i invite anyone who is reading this and fancies it to do it as i tag you!

Thank you for reading,please feel free to comment,i love reading comments,

lots of love,

Hollie xxx

    1. Just as my instinct had told me, but was too blinded by love…my husband is sleeping with my best friend. O God! He is even in love with her. I even was informed about this by an attendant at one of the grocery stores I patronize, but rebuked her rudely and angrily because I taught she had an eye on my husband. Times went on and days went past…I was living a life of ”blinded by love”. My husband and I have been married for 3 years now and I was surprised when I found out he has been living a ”happily married life” of pretense and deceit with me just because of my financial flamboyancy. This was how I found out about them (my husband and my best friend)…There was going to be a dinner for couples that resided in the estate, since it was the estate feast day. But I was down with an unknown illness so I told my husband that we wouldn’t be able to make it to the dinner due to my condition and he agreed (this was on a Monday morning and the dinner was dated for Friday). The next day, I called my dad and complained to him about my illness which the doctor had examined and told me there wasn’t anything wrong with me, of which i knew wasn’t true because I was going through hell inside of my body. My dad told me not to worry and asked me to contact our long time known herbal doctor (Prophet. Akim) (who has been God sent to my family in terms of spiritual help; he helped cure my dad off cancer, my mom off fibroid, my brother was awarded a contract with the world bank, just by his spells) on his email (prayerstosaverelationship”AT”yahoo”DOT”com) which I did. I didn’t get a reply from him till Thursday morning which he explained and blamed on his busy schedules with other of his customers that sought spiritual help. We swung into actions with the procedures of getting me cured of this unknown killer disease that was bent on getting rid of my life. I did all I was instructed by the doctor (herbal). On Friday morning, my husband woke up and told me he was going to be away for about 3 days on a business conference. When he left, I contacted the doctor for the final rites. When everything was done, by 1:45pm just as the doctor had promised, I was well again. I called my dad and informed him about this miracle. I went to my parent’s house which I haven’t been able to do in a long while because of the illness…everyone was happy. I was with my parents till evening, and after having dinner with them, I went to bed. Just as I was going to sleep, I got a call from a neighbor in my estate telling me that she could just see my husband with another lady at the estate’s dinner for couples. I couldn’t believe what she was telling me. Immediately, I Love to the venue and my eyes saw my ears… my husband just leaving in his car with my best friend. I couldn’t believe my eyes, so I tailed them for about 15mins and they drove into a hotel…hmmm. I went back to my apartment and without hesitation I called Prophet. Akim and told him of what I just found out. I told him I needed an urgent spell to make my husband develop sudden hatred for my best friend and immediately come back to me as soon as then. The doctor told me what to do, late that night, I got everything done. At about 3:18am on Saturday morning, my door opened. Who is this in my house this early? …My husband? In tears, he is confessing all he had been doing with my best friend and asking me to forgive him and accept him as the husband he used to be … I wept my eyes out. I immediately forgave him for I love him with all my heart. Now, my husband and I are living faithfully to each other and my illness, gone forever. Are you in need of any kind of spiritual, medical, financial help? Please contact Prophet. Akim on the above email address for your rapid solutions. (Re-write the email in its right form)
