Ahem..I may be a little bit late for this but better late than never, right?!
So as you may have guessed I have finally found some time to do some of the Bookending Winter posts! Bookending Winter (@bookend_events) is an event put together by the awesome Clo (@eloisethewriter) and Sam (@Sammers65) which is Christmas and New Year related but you are not restricted to just this. You can post about anything you want as long as you use the logo of the event!
I was very chuffed when my fellow book bloggers Ruby (@Rubysbooks) and Amanda (@Devouring Books – Amanda) tagged me for this Bookending Winter tag. Here are both of their posts: Ruby’s post and Amanda’s post for you to have a look!
The rules of the Christmas Characters Tag which was hosted by Anthony (@Anthony) are the following:

Santa Clause – A Gift You Received or Want This Year
I love gifts but my favorite one this year was the Game of Thrones book series that my brother bought me! One can never have enough books right?
Mrs. Clause – A Favorite Holiday Treat to Have Every Year
This definitely has to be the honey Christmas cookies that we make in Cyprus called melomakarona (μελομακάρονα). They are honey glazed biscuits topped with chopped walnuts! They are my all time favorite and I could eat them all year round! You can a recipe for these here.
Ghost of Christmas Past – A Holiday Memory from Your Past
My dad waking us up by shouting ‘Ho ho ho Meeerryyy Christmas’ in the house!

I cannot remember any..sorry..
Grinch – A Moment When Your Heart Grew Three Sizes

Jack Frost – A Tradition You Like to Do Every Winter
Cooking Christmas day lunch for my family. It gets a bit hectic for me but it is our family’s tradition!
Hero Boy – A Moment You Believed in a Holiday Wish/Miracle
This is a happy turn sad moment.. It’s when my granddad was not very well but recovered for the holidays only to bounce back to being not very well a month or so after the holidays.
Cindy Lou Who – A Favorite Holiday Tradition
Watching ‘Home Alone’ while eating pop corn.
Frosty the Snowman – A Memory Involving Snow or A Memory You Would Like to Have Involving Snow
Hmmm..this is tough one since we do not have a lot of snow in Cyprus, apart from high up in the mountains.. If I had to make one it would have to be waking up one morning with my back yard full of snow and making snow angels with my kids!
Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer – A Holiday Activity You Like Doing
Watching Christmas movies while its cold and raining outside drinking hot coffee!

I rewatched Home Alone for the first time this year and loved it, it may become a Christmas Tradition to watch it every year now!

I loved them! The Game of Thrones books were all very good. Long commitment, but worth it. The show sticks relatively good to the books though.
