I thought we could just have a laugh and ask a question each day about Christmas (anything you like)! Be fun to see what everyone says

I'll kick off.

What's everyone's favourite Christmas song?

Mine is 'Last Christmas' by Wham! I love the video and the song, George Michael don't look bad either! Hehe

Greg Lake's I Believe In Father Christmas, though I do enjoy peeling potatoes to In Dulce Jubilo by Mike Oldfield. It's probably a good thing that I don't allow myself to have sharp knives.

 Yesterday I heard "There's Something About Christmastime" by Bryan Adams.  It immediately made me feel like I was 16 again.

Oh that's lovely when that happens, Melanie

What's everyone's favourite part of their Christmas Dinner?

I love roasted parsnips!

Everything

My mushroom and nut roast. 

 Ha ha, Dawn.  I wanted to say everything, as well, but then I remembered green beans - yuck.  I guess my favorite is homemade meatballs with mashed potatoes.  Not traditional fare, I know, but it's my husband's favorite so that's what we've been having the past few years.

Ooh i love meatballs, Melanie!

Dawn, i've never tried mushroom and nut roast but i adore mushrooms!

Favourite Christmas Carol?

Mine is Hark The Herald Angels Sing! Makes me want to sing as loud as possible, i just can't sing in tune though, hehe.

I like In The Bleak Midwinter. Either tune. But can I make a special plea for The First Nowell, because a) it's one of the few songs I can play on a keyboard and b) I haven't heard it sung for years.

You certainly can Dawn! Well done! I wish i could play any instrument, at primary school i was always given the triangle to play. My mum bought me a recorder but i couldn't get the hang of it!

The last time i heard The First Nowell was at Midnight Mass a few years ago.

 Your favourite out of a box of chocolates?

Two way tie for me with coffee cream and anything with raspberry in it!

Yuuummmm...chocolate! Mine would have to be...this is a difficult decision...a chocolate truffle! Chocolate on the inside and outside...can never get enough chocolate lol!!....or maybe an orange cream!!!!

I honestly can't decide. Chocolates are a serious year-round matter for me. Maybe raspberry (but only with REAL FRUIT).

Favourite Christmas Pudding or Dessert?

I don't like Christmas pudding so i normally have something like a chocolate torte or a toffee and pecan pavlova

Jules, you just reminded me of my love for pecan pie!  Dawn, I think we share a love of chocolate!  I like most chocolate, hotel chocolate choc chip chocolates just now! 

I do love In The Bleak Midwinter but favourite has to be Oh Little Town of Bethlehem, 'Our Hopes and Fears through all the years are met in thee tonight'.  Brilliant. 

Helen

Hi everyone! How did I miss this thread? lol! My favorite Christmas carol would probably be a tie between Oh Holy Night and We Three Kings. They just get me every time! Angie, I agree, my favorite part of Christmas dinner would have to be that I don't have to make it! Hahaha! But my mom makes THE best cheesy potatoes! Oh yum, I could eat a pile as big as my head, lol! And she makes a gorgeous pistachio torte for dessert. It's sooooo good, it has whipped cream and chocolate and toffee bits on top.... omg, it's to die for. And my favorite chocolate would have to be a vanilla cream! I'm kind of boring! Hahaha! But really *any* chocolate is fine by me! Helen, Oh Little Town of Bethlehem is a great one!
