Know Your Elves - 2023 Edition

It was kinda like the sun, you couldn’t look at it directly 😂

Sounds good.

So everyone has lots of time to digest my exquisite answers 😁

Thanks, yes I was very fortunate, in many ways.

Love all the answers so far, very heart warming to read! ... so perhaps, to keep the glorious Christmas vibe going (I cant een come up with a single answer or question 1), someone should substitute for me as next elf... (really) cos I've read over the questions and my answers aren't stellar (by any stretch)... I don't want to be the elf that brought down the christmas cheer. :/

Must be the next persons turn at this now? Seems like a good few weeks since I did mine.

No problem, has been a busy month for me too. Sure, Monday works fine - will have a look at those questions over the weekend. Thanks Loughc :)

Have we to do this in a certain order or just go ahead?

I'd say rock on...

I've been meaning to post here since last November. I think lots of have forgotten.

1. My favourite Christmas memory would probably been in town on Christmas Eve and then getting ready for Santa that evening. Everything was so magically and anything felt possible.
2. I'd consider it a Christmas movie but I'd also consider movies such as Bridget Jones Diary Christmas movies because there shown at Christmas.
3. We don't have kids in our family. So, we don't have that excitement that some families have. I find it hard to pick a point of the day which would be my favorite. Waking up and knowing it's Christmas the smell of the dinner cooking, the dinner it's self and watching TV all all good.
4. Our main Christmas traditions is we do a Christmas candle which consists of a red candle, holly and some decorations. It's lit from December 24th until the 6th of January. Everybody in the house takes a turn lighting the candle.
5. As a child I got a ride on tractor that I really loved. As, I got older I got devices that I really enjoyed.
6. If I could change one thing about Christmas. I'd like to encourage people to get out and shop before Christmas in actual shops. I know we're all guilty of online sales,etc. I'd also like to shops closed on the 26th and maybe sales not starting until 2nd January. I do understand tough some people are happy to work tough.
7. I'm not a massive fan of vegetables. So, I'm not really the person to ask.
8. When I was a kid I loved So, this is Christmas especially singing it at school. Now I really like Darlene Love ALL Alone at Christmas. However there's lots of Christmas songs I like for different reasons.
9. My favorite Christmas Character from a movie might be Charlie from The Santa Clause. I always thought it would be amazing to be him and to get to experience The North Pole. Also, I found him really cool in the second movie. When he was the bad lad.
10. My favorite Christmas ad is the Coca-Cola Holidays are Coming with the trucks. It was really the start of Christmas for me.
11. We've both clear lights when the tree has a theme and multi coloured when it's not themed.
12. My mother always told me growing up that you can put more of a fake theme and I sort of stuck by this.
13. My favorite Christmas food might be the ham or the stuffings. Chocolate wise it would be Celebrations because they are consistent.
14. We've cats. We've tried stockings, those Christmas treats but they rarely have an interest in them. They might play with a toy. However they enjoy the Turkey and Ham.
15. My Christmas guilty pleasure would probaly be foil celling decorations. I find the room looks bare without them and they annoy some family members.
16. Not major springs to mind apart from minor things. One year the turkey did go through a roasting bag and nearly ended up on the floor.
17. A cold glass bottle of Coke.
18. We start decorating on the 8th of December but they stay up until and including January 6th.
19. An Angel.
20. Love Actually because of the countdown to Christmas and the general vibe it gives off.
