Being a Mum is like flying a kite, you never know which way it is going to turn, it can turn really fast and end up crashing. Or it can just float happily and peacefully in one place, or simply sway from side to side

Getting to Know Me!

I was tagged for a Christmas Getting to Know You Meme. How exciting to be tagged!
The wonderful Richele at Under the Golden Apple Tree tagged me.  You should visit her blog!
So here we go, here are my answers to the Christmas questions.
1.) Have you started your Christmas shopping? Nope not a thing, have got some ideas but that is it really.

2.) Tell me about one of your special traditions. We have a Christmas fairy that hands out all the presents from under the tree, we usually choose the person on Christmas eve, they even get a wand to hold while handing out the presents.

3.) When do you put up your Tree? Normally the 1st December, but we haven’t managed to get around to it yet, but we will very soon.

4.) Are you a Black Friday shopper? We don’t have Black Friday in Australia so sorry no, but if we did I probably wouldn’t, to busy :(

5.) Do you Travel at Christmas or Stay home? My parents live about 5 hours away, this year we are going to their house but we normally take it turns.

6.) What is your funniest Christmas memory? This is a hard one as all our Christmas’ are funny, we just have a great time with lots of laughs, Christmas is just a fun time of the year with all my family.

7.) What is your favorite Christmas Movie of All time? It would have to be Love Actually, I can’t tell you how many times I have seen it. Great Movie.

8.)Do you do your own Christmas Baking, what’s your favorite treat? If it is at my house I do, otherwise as my Dad is a chef he normally organises things and we help out. Favorite treat would have to be Dads Christmas pudding with brandy custard. Yum! my mouth is watering just thinking about it.

9.) Fake or Real Tree? Fake, real ones make too much mess.

10.) What day (as a Mom) does the actual panic set in to get it all done? Yesterday, I only just realised how much time there is until Christmas, oh dear I am in trouble.

11.) Are you still wrapping presents on Christmas Eve? Yes, I am a bit of a last min person so yes I am madly doing everything at the last min. This is just a side thing, but I remember one year I was knitting a present for my Mum for Christmas and I still had about 5 or 6 rows of 200 stitches left to do on Christmas eve, it was about 1am when I finally finished it. You would think I would learn wouldn’t you?

12.) What is your favorite family fun time at Christmas? All day Christmas day is a family fun day for us, my family are the best, and know how to have fun.

13.) What Christmas craft do you like the best? I am a bit of a craft fan, and as you know the little man is the crazy craft man, so we are always doing something different. We often make the bon bons or the decorations for the tree, we made our own Christmas place mats last year, the little man did all the sticking.

14.) Christmas music. Yes or No, and if yes What is your favorite song? Can I say yes and no, I like Christmas music and I love to sing, but when you hear it in the shopping centres from about October you are over it by Christmas day. Favourite would have to be Silent Night.

15.) When do you plan to finish all your shopping? Probably on Christmas Eve knowing me, lol.
