favorite christmas song?
Handel’s [name_u]Messiah[/name_u] is a [name_u]Christmas[/name_u] staple for me, but love [name_u]Joan[/name_u] Baez’z cover of Carols of the Birds (a must listen if you don’t know it.) I’m a traditions girl so basically any really classic carols- In the Bleak Midwinter, [name_f]Joy[/name_f] to the World, and It Came Upon a [name_u]Midnight[/name_u] Clear. I like the mystical, [name_u]Christmas[/name_u] magic vibe ones.
favorite wintery drink?
[name_f]Apple[/name_f] cider with cinnamon sticks
favorite holiday tradition?
Everything! I love gathering with my large loving family and soaking in every moment of our stay together- especially sitting in front of my Grandmother’s huge fireplace in the candlelight and the tree lights- there’s this magical hush that comes over every one and it feels so comforting.
favorite chrismassy scent?
Mince meat!
favorite christmas movie?
It’s a [name_u]Wonderful[/name_u] Life- hands down.
favorite christmas decoration?
I love the [name_u]Christmas[/name_u] Tree ornaments that come back year after year and hold so many memories
favorite christmas day activity?
Caroling- I’ve got a big enough family that we split into parts and everything and it’s so much fun to sing with everyone from my grandmother to my tiniest cousins
best christmas dinner?
I love the roasted carrots with herbs and oil
best kind of christmas cookies?
[name_m]Classic[/name_m] gingerbread- just cause it reminds me of [name_u]Christmas[/name_u]!
snow: yay or nay?
Yay of course!
gly sweaters: yay or nay?
We’re not a big Ugly Sweater family- I prefer to get dressed up in a [name_u]Christmas[/name_u] dress or something fancy and festive
best christmas present you’ve ever gotten?
When I was 12, I got this gorgeous vintage flapper dress from my grandma- it’s so special to me!
anything else (chrismassy or not) that you’d like to influence your name?
I’d like a fem name with one middle that captures that gold, soft light of [name_u]Christmas[/name_u] morning through stained glass windows- something reverent and cozy (preferably no word names please!)

Sorry for being so all over the place with my answers, as you can tell, [name_u]Christmas[/name_u] is my favourite time of year and it’s so hard to summarize it in a short answer. If my name criteria is too specific, just go with something you feel fits me- I’m not too picky.
Thank you so much!

best christmas present you’ve ever gotten?— ** giant, fancy white wood custom made five floor habitat for my pet mice with pretty decorative details, large oval windows on the doors, and lots of pretty little houses, ramps, and ladders for the mice***:blush:
