    Whoops! :o

    If you could celebrate Christmas anywhere in the world (apart from at home), where would you go?

    I think I'd like to do somewhere to see the Nothern Lights (Maybe Lapland)
    I'd like to go to New York for the New Year tough.

    What was your biggest Christmas disaster?

    The only time we’ve hosted Christmas dinner our guests showed up late and extremely hungover.

    They weren’t up for anything post dinner.

    Did you ever think you heard Santa on Christmas morning?

    That is scandalous - I'd have been fit to be tied! :(

    No, but my mam used to tell us fantastic stories about her seeing Santa as a kid, you know the type where you can actually imagine being in the room with her and seeing him yourself! They were my favourite stories as kids!

    And on that note, favourite Christmas Story/Book?

    The night before Christmas. Got a card version of it for the kids a couple of years ago and make a point of reading it every year on Christmas eve for them.

    Not sure I'd be putting beer on my cornflakes so usually with first craft beer around 11am when back from church.

    What's the longest (in days) that you have eaten some of your Christmas Day turkey after the big day?

    Ewwww.... who has cornflakes on Christmas morning? :P

    I’ve had turkey previously on the 25th, 26th and 27th. By the 27th you’d want to never see turkey again.

    Yule logs! I'm a chocolate person.

    Chistmas dinner in my parents house has become a crazy potato feast. Along with veggies, turkey, and ham, they have roasties, potato croquettes, baby potatoes, mash, and potato stuffing (never bread stuffing in that house).
    How many kinds of potatoes is served in your house for Christmas dinner?

    I bought a Christmas scene yokeamebob. It was €45 in Carraig Donn. Teddy bears dressed in stripy scarves twirling around a magnetised lake. A lovely tune played and they all started twirling when you clapped your hands. I have such fond memories of my (then) young nephews in absolute fits of laughter at their antics. My nephews reawakened my love of Christmas.

    Which leads me on nicely to my question :p

    Have you ever lost your sense of Christmas and if so, what happened to make you all Christmassy again?

    Not sure if this qualifies however, like many I'm sure, during my late teens and most of the 20's, Christmas was a time to go out and drink too much. I worked pretty much all over Christmas as well. So went from very happy Christmas memories as a kid to about 10 years of it being a blur!

    Then my sister had kids and Christmas took on a different meaning, I meet my now OH and Christmas settled down a bit, more about family and taking time off etc. I guess that is when my love for Christmas was reborn as such and it's just grown and grown since :)

    Funniest Christmas Day story??
