The Ultimate 25-Question Christmas Survey

What’s your favorite….

1. Christmas song?

Fairytale of New York by The Pogues and Kirsty McCall:

Robbie the Reindeer or The Snowman

4. Christmas food?

Christmas cake

Don’t really have one.

Don’t have any nowadays. Before, we always went round to my Uncles house in Peterhead for a Boxing Day family reunion.

Multi-colored.

8. Wrapping: prefer wrapping paper or gift bags?

Gift bags. I’m crap at wrapping.

Santa is real. SHUT UP! La, la, la, la, I can’t hear you!

When someone is as hard to buy for as my brother, they’re a FSMsend

Nope

My dad and my brother.

Being with my family. And my Santa sack :¬)

Trying to get presents for everyone

Don’t really have any. Though it is nice when my brother takes the dogs for a walk
