Christmas Characters Tag, Bookending Winter

 

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.

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.

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!
