Christmas Tag

Hi!

Yeah, I kind of gave up on that blogmas thing. I told you it would fail. Here's a Christmas tag for you guys though:

1. What is your favorite Christmas movie/s?

A Finnish film called Joulupukki ja noitarumpu is my absolute favorite! We watch it every year on Christmas Eve with my brother. 

2. Where do you usually spend your holidays?
Home in Helsinki. Actually just flew back to spend my Christmas vacation here :D

3. Do you open any presents on Christmas Eve?

All of them. It's a tradition in Finland.

4. What made you realize the truth about Santa?

I think I had my thoughts about him not being real for a while and then we talked about it in school with friends and that made me sure about it. 

5. Favorite festive food?

I don't really like many traditional Finnish Christmas foods. Porridge and ham are my favorite ones but our family usually eats reindeer on Christmas and I like that too :D

6. Favorite Christmas scent?

Gingerbreads right out of the oven, glogg and peppermint.

7. Do you have any Christmas Eve traditions?

In Finland we actually celebrate Christmas on Christmas Eve so usually when mom (or this year me) gets out of work, we go to a Christmas sauna, eat our Christmas meal, I watch a Christmas movie with my brother and then we open presents. 

8. As a kid what was the one (crazy, wild, extravagant) gift you always asked for but never received?

Honestly I can't remember

9. What's the best part about Christmas for you?
The Christmas feeling that's in the air minus the stress. I also love all the Christmas lights, they make everything look so pretty.

See you soon!

The first time tag

Hi!

So since I never did the introduction post and Shannan tagged me to do the First Time Tag on my blog, I thought this might be a nice way to learn few things about me :D

The rules:

-You must share the firsts given in the list below and show the story behind them.

-Then tag as many people as you want.

-No tag backs. 

First Best Friend

Well me and my current best friend have know each other basically our whole lives so I'd say it's been her for the past (almost) 21 years :D

First Kiss

Yeaaaahhh... Let me get back to you on that one

First Concert

I think my first proper concert was a Jonas Brothers concert I went to in Dallas, Texas. It was on my 16th birthday and I will probably never forget it. I was SO obsessed with the Jonas Brothers back then and I got to go with some amazing people.

First Celebrity Crush

I honestly think Nick Jonas was my first proper celebrity crush. Or maybe it was Zac Efron, who knows.

First Word

I had to ask my mom and ended up finding a book where she had wrote down my childhood firsts and like achievements (like when I learned to walk, when I got my first tooth etc...). Apparently my first word has been "kakka" which translates to "poo". How lovely. 

First Pet

We used to have a hamster called Puppe. He lived for almost 3 years which is pretty long for a hamster. He also climbed up and down the railing on his cage which was really weird.

First Job

My first summer job was in a factory where my dad works. I cleaned their whole file room and went through all the files from the last like 20 years. 

First Phone

I think I got my first phone right after 4th grade. It was a Nokia 3510i and I thought it was soooo cool because it had a colored screen! 

First Tweet

I actually just looked it up and it was something about the Jonas Brothers. Me? Obsessed? noooo

First Makeup

We have this dance for the 4th graders near our independence day and I remember my mom buying me my first lipgloss from H&M for that dance. I also remember keeping that lipgloss for like 5 years just because it was my first one.

I tag Christine and Laura to do this.

See you soon!
