Hello my friends :)

I got tagged by btw-its-me two months ago and just now remembered it :P So given that I'm sick, bored and don't have anything to do (actually I do, but I don't wanna do it), I'm gonna answer it now :3

1. What's your favourite holiday?
This is a hard one honestly, because I'm not that passionate about any public holiday 💀 I don't really like Halloween and I don't really like New Year's Eve & Day and I don't really like Christmas and Easter is boring. And we don't have Thanksgiving where I live and our National Holiday is also boring (there are fireworks, but that's pretty much it).
I think I'll say Easter, because I just realized it's not actually that boring. Searching for the eggs is fun, and you get a lot of chocolate :D And we usually stay at my grandparents' for a few days which is always super chill :)  (I will be probably never be able to see Easter the same way anymore tho because I'm traumatized from last year's Easter when my Chemistry teacher gave us homework over the "break" and I had like three mental breakdowns because of it. That fucking sucked. Could've also been at Whitsun (it that how you say it in English?? that's so ugly 💀) tho, I don't actually remember lol it's all kinda the same thing for me)

2. Who are you celebrating christmas with this year?
Oops... Should've probably answered this two months ago when I got tagged HAHA
Because it's just the middle of January and I can't see into the future (IIIII AM THE PROPHET. WITH THE AAANNNSWERS YOU SEEEEEEKKK.), I don't know yet haha But last year - so, a few weeks ago - I spent Christmas at home with my sister and parents. We then went to my grandparents the 26th and stayed there for a few days and celebrated a bit with them too :)
(But the thing I remember the best about christmas iS EPIC THE ITHACA SAGA. THE CAST IN ITHACA. STREAM ISSUES. AND THEN THE STREAM. SCREAMING CRYING SOBBING. AHHHHHHHHHHHHH) (Cindy I'm not gonna tag you because I know you'll be reading this anyway hahaha <3)

3. Who would you like to spend your dream-christmas with?
I would LOVE to spend christmas with my friends omfg it'd be so much fun (and probably a LOT less stressful than with my family) 🥹🥹

4. Do do have a christmas tree and if yes, how do you decorate it?
We have a christmas tree every year, we always get it from a christmas tree farm nearby :D (Fun fact, when I drive to school with my bike, I drive past a christmas tree farm :3) We actually just took it down last weekend - I keep finding needles in my room because my father throws the tree from the balcony by my room haha
Okay back to the topic- We basically use the same ornaments every year, we have these super cute little silver bells, heart in different colours, big red and orange and a few blue baubles and a fairy that is my favourite, I always put it up before all the other ornaments hihi And then we just have fairy lights, lotsss of angel's hair (?? Idk how to say that in English) and a few additional ornaments that we change up from time to time :3
Oh I also bought a super cute mushroom (toadstool :D) ornament two years that I was obsessed with but it BROKE so I couldn't put it up last year (it made me sad) :((
Yk what I'm actually gonna put a picture of our christmas tree last year :D

(Living room reveal I guess lol)
Thanks for nothing, Wattpad 💀
Anyway, can you spot the fairy on top? :D
By the way, we always give our trees name - this was ✨Angie✨, from angle, because it was so crooked (you can't see it on the picture because I took it so that it doesn't look crooked haha) LMAO but imperfections give character, don't you think <3

5. How would you decorate the christmas tree of your dreams?
I always love our christmas trees, I would probably just decorate it the same :D Maybe just a few more funky ornaments like the (broken </3) mushroom because they're fun :] Now that I think about it, I think I'll have to ask my parents if I can take the fairy with me when I move out, because I don't wanna leave it behind D:

6. Do you have 24 or 4 candles on your christmas wreath?
... one actually xD But who has 24 candles on theirs?? You're supposed to light the candles on every Sunday of Advent and there are only four D:
Okay, I think there's actually this legend that it used to be 24 candles and that's the origin of the advent calendar, but I stand with my point lol 24 are wayy too stressful.

7. What's your favourite christmas story?
Wait I can't think of any 💀 There's the story of Jesus' and the manger obviously, but I'm just neutral about that, and the story of Rudolph, but that one I think is so stupid honestly (because what kind of moral is that?? "people will bully you when you look different from them, but as soon as you prove yourself to be useful, they will love you" like whaaat???). Do christmas movies count? If they do, my favourite christmas story is Klaus (it's an animated movie and it's AMAZING).

8. What is the best thing about christmas time?
The atmosphere and vibes - christmas lights, decorating the christmas tree, christmas music, stuff like that. And baking cookies and SNOW if there is any :DD

9. List three people you show your appreciation to on Christmas.
My best friend (I always write them corny ass letters on Christmas and on their birthday lol), my sister andd my other (internet) friends :3

10. What is your favourite christmas song?
LAAAAAST CHRISTMAS, I GAVE YOU MY HEART, BUT THE VERY NEXT DAY. YOU GAVE IT AWAYYY
Yeah Last Christmas is probably my all time favourite haha But I also love All I Want for Christmas Is You (had that one as my WhatsApp info for a while BECAUSE IT'S TRUE) and It's Beginning to Look a Lot like Christmas and Carol of the Bells and Merry Xmas (War Is Over) and I'll Be Home and Snowman and two queens in a king sized bed and, not gonna lie, I also really like Es Truckli Vou Liebi, Wiehnachtslied and Stieg zum Himmel chline Stern (the real ones will know 🌚).
(not me listing half of my christmas playlist HAHA never ask me a song question)

11. What are your three biggest wishes on your wish list?
My biggest wish was a volleyball and biiig fairy lights - I got the volleyball :D My sister said she would get me the fairy lights, but she still hasn't ordered them xD Which is totally fine because I also still haven't printed out the posters for her that I wanted to give her for her birthday in uhh November (💀) HAHAHA

12. Where would you preferably spend your christmas holidays?
At home, anywhere with a friend or somewhere where it has ✨SNOW✨ :DD
