10 of My Holiday Favourites–Holiday Tag

I feel like I haven’t written enough Christmas content this year, but honestly…I’m feeling kind of burned out for content lately. The ideas are slow to arrive in my brain and slower to bang out with a four month old. Anyway, I got nominated for this tag and thought, this is fun! This is perfect! So here we go!

Thanks again to Katie from Dating Bitch for tagging me.

The Holiday Questions

What is your favourite holiday movie?

I actually talk about my favourite holiday movies in a post all about my favourite movies! Check it out.

What is the best way to spend a Saturday in December?

Like Katie said, curled up in bed with a good book. Even more perfect if it’s snowing out.

What’s Your favourite holiday song?

This is hard. I really like a lot. I guess I don’t just have one favourite. I really like Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas, Silent Night, Let it Snow, Silver and Gold as sung in the old Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer movie.

What do you typically eat for dinner during the holidays?

Depends. Christmas Eve is always fish as that’s our cultural tradition. Christmas Day we have a mix of traditional North American foods and Italian foods. We also do a big bacon and eggs Christmas breakfast with my husband’s family. So basically, we typically eat too much for Christmas.

What is your favourite Christmas cookie or holiday treat?

The ones my mom makes! These are traditional fig cookies from Italy. I also love gingerbread, so gingerbread cookies make the list as well.

What fictional character would you want the spend holidays with?

Like, any character? Christmas character? … Let’s combine and say Harry Potter because somehow he’s Christmas-y in my mind.

Can you name all of Santa’s reindeer?

Dasher, Dancer, Donner and Blitzen. Comet and Cupid and… Prancer?…Oh, and naturally, Rudolph.

Am I right? Let me know.

Where would you like to visit during the holidays?

I’ve never given this idea a serious thoughts as I wouldn’t leave my family during the holidays…but London might be cool.

Do you like giving or receiving gifts better? (Be honest!)

Getting, obviously. I mean, giving is nice but trying to really find a meaningful gift that everyone you know will love is not something I like. It’s hard!! And I hate it when I can see disappointment on their faces so…getting.

What’s the best gift you ever received?

Okay, I have given this some serious thought. And while I do remember many gifts my husband has given me…and some that my parents have given me…I can’t decide if any were the best. And I’m also not sure when they gave me those gifts–was it Christmas? My birthday? I can’t always recall. So I decided to just pick a gift I really loved and was touched by instead that also is definitely one of the best gifts I ever received. And that is a lovely gold bracelet my hubby gave me on our one year anniversary. I really wasn’t expecting anything at all, so I was really surprised, and most especially that is was a gift of jewelry.

Tagging

Merry Christmas

There you have it friends! My favourite things about Christmas…or at least, some. I hope you enjoyed learning a little more about me, which is what I love about a lot of these tags. Christmas is a special, if exhausting, time of year. I will always love this holiday as I love the lights, the snow, the special time with family and so much more. I hope there is something you enjoy this holiday as well.

I’m Looking For…

Early in March, I decided I could begin returning slowly to blogging. I had lots of ideas, felt ready and wanted to dive in. And I did. But then April came and the whole month was a mess. So all the work I did never met the light of day. Sometimes, life is like a pretzel 🥨 It twists and turns in unexpected ways. Sometimes that’s great! Other times, not so much. This was one of those not so much times. But, I think I’m getting back on track. Which is super exciting!! So I hope you’re excited for more on my little blog #tidbitsofcare #bloggerlife #blogger #blogging #bloggingselfcare #selfcareblog #selfcarebloggers #lifestyleblog #selfcareblogging
Spring! I’m so happy it’s here! But these last few weeks I’ve been crabby, exhausted and even full of rage. I’ve no idea why. I’m taking steps to bring balance back into my life—taking my meds, supplements—and today had a total self care day. Massage, pedi and facial—and a little shopping. I can’t think when I last had a day that was totally mine like today has been. I feel utterly zen now. Here’s the thing—self care is daily practice. But sometimes you need a big break from life to really recharge and relax. I hadn’t been really doing too much of that as a new mom. And it got to me. So don’t be like me! Or rather, be like the me I was today; the one who made the day totally hers. #tidbitsofcare #selfcareblog #selfcareblogger #blog #bloggerselfcare #selfcareiskey❤️ #selfcareday #lifestyleblogger #peronsalgrowthjourney #bloggerlife🌻
Spring spring finally over the Easter weekend and now I’m loving the feeling spring is bringing me. I feel like I can do so much, like life is brand new, I feel excited without knowing why. Who else is loving spring? #tidbitsofcare #selfcareblog #springissprung #springbuds #springdays #springmood🌷 #bloggerlife #selfcareblogger
If little things like pretty bracelets make you feel good, go for it! We all need little things as part of our daily self care ☺️ Whst little things are part of your self care? #tidbitsofcare #selfcareblog #selfcareispriority #selfcaresunday #selfcaresunday✨ #lifestyleblogger #bloggerstyle #bloggerlife #blogging #selfcarepage
It’s the kind of rainy day that has put me into a mood. I feel useless and dumpy and kinda depressed. This wet, cold, dreary, winter weather has gone on long enough but I don’t think we’ve seen the end of it yet. So…time to figure out how to rise above these yucky winter blues. I’m going to journal and read something lighthearted. What do you do when you’re down in the dumps? #tidbitsofcare #selfcare #winterblues #lifestyleblogger #selfcareblog #bloggerlife #rainydays☔️ #blogging #selfcareisapriority #selfcareday❤️
Freshened up! I love getting my nails done, it’s such an important part of my self care. It gives me time to myself, and makes me feel put together and tidy. This pretty pink was screaming spring at me, so of course it was a no brainer choice. What self care have you practiced today? #tidbitsofcare #selfcarenails #selfcareispriority #selfcareblogger #bloggerlife #bloggerstyle #selfcareday #prettynails #pinknails💕

      I love that you’re also in the “getting gifts” camp! And I think it’s hilarious that you see harry potter as a christmas-y character!
