Have a Holly Jolly Christmas TAG šŸŽ„ | 2020

Hey XO Gang.

Welcome back to my blog, if you’re new here I’m Shabria. And, if you are one of my day one readers thank you so much for returning and showing some love. First, I want to say happy holidays to all, pandemic or not. On today’s post I want to do a tag blog post, if you’re aware of what are “tags”, they’re like questions and answers type of thing and after when you’re done answering those questions, you “TAG” someone to answer those of bunch of questions. You get the point now? Good LOL. Anyways, I’ll be doing the holly jolly Christmas tag however, there’s alot of versions of the holly jolly Christmas so I chose this one from someone that I’m following and her blog name is theblackprincessdiaries. Please check her blog content, when you get the chance.

  1. How are you spending this Christmas? Just like everyone worldwide, Christmas is gonna be super different. But, for my family and I our Christmas is still the same like just every Christmas. Both of my parents are working on Christmas, I’m not sure if my sister is but we don’t do nothing exciting on Christmas.
  2. Are you good at buying gifts for others? I’d like to think so, doesn’t matter if I guess on what they want or I’m just asking them.
  3. Do you have any Christmas Eve traditions? Yeah. Just watching Christmas movies on Hulu, Netflix, and Disney+.
  4. Do you like Eggnog? I never had eggnog before but from looking at the recipe it has alot of dairy and alcohol in it and I’m lactose intolerant and I’m not big on alcohol.
  5. Have you ever built a gingerbread house? No, not yet.
  6. Finish this “ELF” quote – The best way to spread Christmas cheer is …. ? Singing loud for all to hear!
  7. What is your all-time favorite Christmas food/dessert? I love sugar cookies and fudge brownies.
  8. Do you prefer giving or receiving on Christmas? To be honest, both.
  9. Are you a last-minute shopper or are you organized? I’m pretty much a organized shopper. Last minute shopping makes me a nervous wreak LOL
  10. What would be your dream place to spend Christmas? I would love to spend Christmas in New York someday.
  11. What’s your one Christmas wish? ONE?! Tsk, okay I really want for Covid to go away.
  12. What makes Christmas special for you? I just love how this holiday brings family and friends together, I love watching Christmas movies and looking at Christmas decorations and lights. And, especially I love eating Christmas treats.

So that was my take on the Holly Jolly Christmas tag, thanks for reading and take care be safe. Happy Holidays xoxo
