1. What’s your favourite family tradition during this period of the year?
We have a little tradition that everyone finds ONE favourite sock.. to hang up on Christmas Eve and that is their Christmas stocking.

2. The Xmas song that puts you in the mood for the holiday season?
Favourite Christmas song… well that’s a tie between Fairy tale of New York or White Christmas from the Home Alone soundtrack. It’s our fav Christmas movie.

Christmas means round the clock chocolate because it’s the most wonderful time of the year! 😉
