Today is yet another special day as I will be interviewing Jenny who I have been lucky to interact with. I am happy to have her on here today. Jenny is a 28 year old lifestyle blogger from the UK who has been blogging for over 6 years at Jenny in Neverland. When she’s not watching Jane the Virgin, having Mc Donald’s breakfast hash browns, or enjoying a vinyasa, she is blogging! Now straight to the Christmas interview.

Interview Questions (Part 1)
What does Christmas mean to you?
For me, Christmas is a time of giving. Being able to treat my loved ones after what is usually a busy and sometimes stressful year to show them how much they mean to me. It’s also a well needed time of rest and self-care.
What’s your favourite thing about Christmas?
I love so much about Christmas! Apart from the food obviously, I think my favourite thing is how magical everything looks and feels. Especially all the lights. Christmas lights and decorations make me so happy.
What is your go-to tip for having a more organized Christmas?
Start planning early. Getting organized early is really important for me because it saves any stress later on in the month.
What is your favourite Christmas tradition?
We don’t have many but my mum and I always put the decorations up together which is nice.
Who is your favourite person to buy presents for?
Definitely not my Dad! I love my dad but he’s a nightmare because he never wants or needs anything! My favourite person is probably my boyfriend because we have a lot of similar interests and I can get creative with his gifts. He also appreciates funny/jokey gifts so it’s nice to include one of those as well.
What one thing do you need to feel like it’s Christmas?
It definitely doesn’t feel like Christmas until the decorations are up. We always put ours up in November.
What was the best Christmas present you ever received as a Child?
The best Christmas present I ever got was a Barbie aeroplane. It was HUGE and came with so much stuff in it like tiny little knives and forks. It was amazing.
What holiday movie or special do you watch over and over again?
The Muppets Christmas Carol tends to get watched every Christmas!
Interview Questions (Part 2)
Share one vivid Christmas memory, good or bad.
When I was little, there was one Christmas where I was so ill, I didn’t care about anything. My parents had bought me a new bike that year and I don’t even think I opened anything because I was so ill. Not fun!
Would you rather build a snowman, go sledding, have a snowball fight, or stay inside drinking hot cocoa?
Go sledding, definitely.
The French word “Noel” is often used around Christmas, but what was its original meaning in Latin?
It means “to be born”.
How many wise men does the bible say visited the baby Jesus?
3
Have you watched the Christmas movie “Home Alone”?
I have and I am probably one of the only people I know who actually doesn’t like it!
In what European country are children given gifts by St. Basil on January 1st instead of Santa on December 25th?
I have no idea.
What’s the most stressful part of Christmas for you?
Work is always busy before Christmas so frantically trying to get everything done before I take time off is often quite stressful.
Roundup Questions
Are you game to wear an ugly Christmas sweater?
Nope! I don’t have an ugly one. I love my Christmas jumper – it’s so cute!
What Christmas tradition for couples do you practice with your partner?
My partner and I don’t have any Christmas traditions to be honest. He’s usually always working loads in the lead up until Christmas.
What’s your best thing about getting a Christmas present?
Usually getting something I have needed for a while.

Hi Ruth

My favourite part of Christmas is sharing festive food and drink with family.
Christmas officially starts for me once I have heard Mariah’s All I Want For Christmas on the radio for the first time!
For me, my favourite Christmas film is Die Hard and my least favourite is the dreadful Elf!
