Today is day 7 of the 12 Days of Giveaways and I have a super-fun person to introduce you to. Her name is Sarah and she blogs over at Oh So Kawaii and also runs a super cute Kawaii shop! You should definitely follow her blog if you like geekery, kawaii, lolita, or just plain fun! Her blog is sooooo cute-just like her!
How do you usually celebrate the holidays?
My partner and I have family all over the country, so we alternate where we go each year. Last year we stayed in Adelaide (our home town) for Christmas with my family, so this year we are heading to Melbourne to celebrate with his :)
What is your favorite holiday food?
My family have a lot of Christmas traditions, one of which is our home made Christmas puddings. The recipe has been passed down for generations and we all get together to cook them a month before Christmas. Christmas Day, we heat them up and serve it with brandy butter, and it is soooo good! Another one we do each year is strawberry champagne punch... But that's not exactly food ;)
What's at the top of your holiday wishlist this year?
I have to be really boring and go with house stuff. My fiancé and I recently bought a house (which you can read about on my blog!) and there is so many boring house hold items we just don't have yet! Like a clothes hanger, good cooking knives, someone to fix our collapsing retaining wall. Mind you, if a pink chess chocolate head bow or a blue cream cookie OP found their way in there, I wouldn't be completely disappointed ;)
Are you planning any awesome posts on your blog this holiday season?
I've never really been much of a planner. I tend to blog about things as they happen, I have a pretty busy life! But with all the end of year Christmas parties, Lolita meets and swing dance performances coming up, there is sure to be something to interest you.
What is our favorite thing about blogging?
I love having such an open space to share my life and thoughts with other like minded people on.
Just look at the cute stuff you can find in Sarah's shop also! Click on the image to see the listing!
