1) What is your favorite part of Christmas?

Every single bit of it! Starts in about August, making our home made Christmas Cards. October means getting the majority of presents for people, and November means gettting the last presents, and writing out the Christmas Cards. Then comes the fun part - getting a real Christmas tree, dressing it, getting decorations down that you haven't seen for eleven months. Then lovely smells from the kitchen - mince pies and sausage rolls cooking. And finally, the big day itself, opening all my presents, usually before 6 am in the morning, going back to bed, then getting back up to celebrate Christmas. And I always write off Boxing day!

(in case you haven't guessed, Christmas is my favourite time of year!!)

2) What was the best Christmas gift you ever received?

I think it would have been in about 2001, when I recieved my first (second hand) computer. My nieces got a new one so I inherited it! But since then, I've got a better computer. But the joy, of having my own computer - even without Internet etc - was wonderful!

Favourite present when I was younger? I was always easily pleased, books, or Sindy dolls  or accessories were always appreciated. But I know I played with my Fisher Price tree house for many a happy hour so that must had been a good present at the time!

3) What was the worst christmas gift you ever received?

Can honestly say I've never had a really bad Christmas gift...at least I can't remember any

4) When did you stop believing in Santa Claus?

Not sure. I reckon he is still floating around somewhere! By the time I reached 13-14, my Twin nieces were born, so Father Christmas returned for them. Nice to have the spirit of Father Christmas still around.

5) What is a memory you have of Christmas that you will never forget?

When my nieces were 5/6 (early 90's) my parents got them a dolls pram each. They always came to our home or Christmas dinner, so after they had come into the house, Dad slipped out of the house, put two massive boxes in the Entry (addressed from Father Christmas!) and then came back in the house, saying that there were presents in the Entry and he didn't know who they were for. If you could see the excitement of the Twins faces, it was wonderful. SO glad we've captured it on camcorder!!
