Today's visiting author is the very best, the awesome Amber Kell.

Amber is giving a $25 Amazon giftcard. Leave a comment here to enter the giveaway. We'll pick a winner on 28th December 2015, at 6pm GMT.



Question 1:      What is your favourite Christmas movie? 

I traditionally like to watch The Ref and Die Hard for Christmas but my favorite cartoon is Olive the Other Reindeer. 
Question 2:    What is your best Christmas memory.

Any Christmas with my children.
Question 3:    What is the best present you’ve received? 

A wooden dollhouse my sister made for me.
Question 4:     What is the best present you’ve given? 

I’m not sure. I think that would depend on the person receiving it. LOL This year I’m writing a book for my mom.
Question 5:     Santa Claus – real or fake? 

Real of course.
Question 6:     What is your favourite Christmas book? 

Night before Christmas.
Question 7:    Do you like eggnog? 

Now that I’ve gotten older I like the lite eggnog but I’m trying a vegan version for my son who’s turned vegan this year.
Question 8:     What do you eat at Christmas? 

We cheat and do finger foods so the kids can eat whenever they come up for air. It seems cruel to make them sit down to a formal meal.
Question 9:     Be honest, when do you put up the Christmas tree? 

We get a real one so we put it up a few weeks before Christmas so it doesn’t dry out.
Question 10:     When do you open your presents? 

Christmas morning…after coffee. It’s my one firm Christmas rule.
Question 11:    Do you have snow at Christmas? 

We live in Seattle so not usually.
Question 12: 1.       What is the best – all-time – Christmas song. Ever! 

Holly Jolly Christmas or anything by Bing Crosby.

  12. I prefer to think of your answers as concise rather than short. I must confess the Die Hard answer puzzles me but you like what you like.

  13. I actually tried Almond Egg Nog today. I have to say it doesn't really compare to the dairy version (IMHO). If it was the only thing available I'd probably just opt for nothing. It wasn't really THAT BAD, but it wasn't THAT GOOD either. :-)
