1.Favourite Christmas Movie/s...
I love the old claymation movies, especially Rudolf and Santa Claus is Coming to Town, because I used to watch them all the time when I was little! I even named a stuffed animal fawn that I've had all my life "Feline" after Rudolf's adorable love interest!
2. Favourite Christmas carols...
I've always loved Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree because my family and I would always play that song and dance around the Christmas tree holding our favourite Christmas gifts. It's a silly tradition, but so much fun. I also really love It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas. I feel like that song really encompasses the Christmas spirit.
3. Christmas 'Must See' TV shows or specials...
I don't usually watch TV, so I'll probably just be sticking to Christmas movies! I am a big Downton Abbey fan, though, so when I think Christmas specials I can't help but think about the amazing and romantic Christmas episode in season 2.
4. Favourite Christmas pop songs...
Mariah Carey's All I Want For a Christmas Is You! I generally prefer listening to Christmas classics, but this one is still on my playlist.
5. Favourite festive food...
I love anything made with sweet potatoes! I am also in love with pumpkin pie - extra whipped cream of course! Hot chocolate and Christmas cookies, too. Basically, I am a big fan of anything sweet.
6. Best or ideal Christmas Location...
Of course, somewhere that snows would be very picturesque, but I've never been away from my home in San Francisco on Christmas. We always talk about traveling, but it just feels right to be home!
7. What festive decorations will you be putting up?
I always want to put my tree up the day after thanksgiving, but this year I'll be traveling and working until a few days before Christmas. As soon as I'm home, I'll put up a tree, wreaths, stockings - everything!
8. Ideal Christmas Outfit...
I think something with a little sparkle is fun for more formal Christmas parties or events, but for Christmas Day with family, a cozy sweater and comfy jeans or pants is ideal for me.
9. Ideal gifts to give this year...
I love picking out toys and clothes for my adorable little cousins. Shopping for them is so much fun, and I love watching them open their gifts Christmas morning!
10. Ideal gifts to receive yourself...
For the past few years, I'll I've really wanted was the Christmas experience with my friends and family. I don't really make a wish list anymore - I'm just excited to spend the day with my family!
11. The best Christmas gift you have ever had (so far)...
When I was very little, my parents gave me an adorable cat named Pixie for Christmas. I will never forget how she popped out of the box that morning! We miss her so much.
12. Any unusual festive family traditions?
Other than the "Christmas March" which i described earlier, we have a gingerbread house decorating contest. It's gotten so competitive over the years that I actually just found a note in my calendar that I wrote to myself last year with a really good idea for my gingerbread house this year! Also, we all go to the nutcracker ballet every Christmas Eve.
13. Most memorable Christmas ever - and why...
A few years ago, we had a few more friends come over for Christmas than we usually do. The party lasted all day long and ended with everyone swimming in the pool that was heated like a hot tub! It was the most incredible Christmas.
14. Who you'd kiss under the Mistletoe?
My dog Lukie because he's the cutest thing ever!
15. Christmas Wishes- what they'd be...
For the world, I wish that no one would ever go to sleep hungry, for my family I wish for nothing but joy in the new year, and for me I wish that parachute gets into the top ten on Hits 1!
