Agi and Suze's Christmas Countdown Interview & Giveaway: Writing Pearls


About Jessica

I am a life-long reader who is always on the hunt for a quality book. I have published The Wake of 30 in my crazy poetry days. I am now working on my debut novel set to come out sometime next year.

Interview

1) What's your best Christmas memory?

When we had to have a late Christmas because my Dad was in Japan with the airforce. We went on a christmas shopping spree when he came back and we played mouse trap together.

2) What are your 3 favourite Christmas reads?

Holly Martin's Christmas at Lilac Cottage is my absolute favorite. I haven't read much more then that.

3) If you could choose one person, dead or alive, to celebrate a one time special Christmas with, who would you choose and why?

My Grandpa on my mother's side. He died when I was twelve, I would like to know him better.

4) What are your thoughts about Santa?

A creepy guy that always wants me to sit on his lap and gets too much pleasure out of it if I do. Yes, there's a story.

5) What are your best and worst Christmas gifts and why? 

My Best Christmas gift was from my husband on our first Christmas together he sent me on a hot or cold hunt for the whole set of Twilight which I really wanted. My worse was the present I had to buy myself and the guy I was seeing at the time reimbursed me and called it his present from him. He's not the man I'm married to now.

6) Your favourite Christmas song?

O Holy Night

7) Your favourite Christmas movie? 

Love at the Christmas Table

8) Top 3 books that you're giving as Christmas presents?

Ellie Alexanders Meet your Baker
Holly Maritn's Christmas at Lilac cottage
On the Go Flower coloring book

9) Most favourite and least favourite part of Christmas? 

My favorite is getting to spend time with family and friends with all the festivities. My least favorite is you spend weeks and weeks preparing and it's over in a blink of an eye.

10) I must ask, sorry - the best Christmas food is...?

 In our house Prime Rib.

Giveaway

My gift is going to be a cozy Christmas gift pack with movie, book, socks, mug, Starbucks hot chocolate and candy.

    This are my "Top 3" books that I'm giving as Christmas presents: Maybe this Christmas by Sarah Morgan, Central Park by Guillaume Musso and Outlander by Diana Gabaldon. My soon to be sister in law is a book nerd, she gave an extremely long book wish list!

    My favorite Christmas movie is actually Miracle on 34th Street. It still holds up because it was so well written. And because Natalie Wood was such a great little actress!

    Santa can be a touch creepy. I love Christmas, but yes there is a big build up & then such an anti-climax afterwards.

    Most favourite and least favourite part of Christmas?
    Most favorite:
    -Going to church and learning the meaning of Christmas all over again (Even that I am not religious yet, it is something meaningful to me)
    -Holidays and spending time with family and friends. Can't deny I love that a lot.
    Least favorite:
    Living in a busy city, Christmas has always been portrayed to me as a very commercial holiday- all the lights, the Christmas shopping, and so on. Having those stuff is nice, but then when it gets to the point where it becomes overwhelming, it just kind of ruins Christmas for me.

  35. AlexDecember 12, 2015 at 1:14 AM

    Most favourite and least favourite part of Christmas?
    My most favourite part is when the whole family reunites on the Christmas table and we eat and drink all together, maybe yell a little bit, laugh, cry, sing, I love these memories!
    My least favourite is when this all ends and I have to wait another whole year for these moments to come again!
