Daisy James
Hello Daisy
Please tell us a
little about you and if you are a reader, Blogger or author.
Hi
Pauline,
Thank
you so much for inviting me to be part of your blog #ItsChristmas blog blitz!
It’s wonderful to be a part of it. So, I’m an author of six novels in the contemporary
romance genre, the most recent being Christmas at The Dancing Duck, a fun
festive read set in the village of Cranbury.
What is your
favourite Christmas memory?
Like
many of people, Christmas is my favourite time of the year. I have lots of
wonderful memories, from my own childhood and from my son’s childhood. If I had
to choose one, then it would have to be our Christmas trip to Disney World in
Florida ten years ago. The decorations were amazing, the lights were stunning,
not to mention the food. But the best bit was seeing all the characters dressed
in their festive costumes, and the look on my son’s face when he realised he
could actually have his photograph taken with them! I treasure these photos and
don’t mind admitting that I get the album out regularly.
What is your favourite
Christmas food?
I’m
a huge fan of cake in all its guises and Christmas cake is no exception. One of
my favourite recipes is a rich gingerbread made with treacle, and finished off
with tangy lemon icing. What do you think?
What is your favourite
Christmas song?
I
love ‘I Wish It Could Be Christmas Every Day’ by Wizzard. It’s so jolly and
upbeat and I love singing along to the lyrics. I also love ‘Driving Home For
Christmas’ by Chris Rea because it reminds me of doing just that, and the
tingle of excitement when you’ve almost arrived back in your home town.
What is your
favourite Christmas photo? Please tell us why
It
absolutely has to be the one of us all with our Mickey/Minnie Christmas hats on
standing next to the mouse himself in Magic Kingdom with Cinderella’s Castle
lit up in the background. Also, I do try to make our Christmas tree look as
spectacular as possible every year, but often it has lots of mismatched
decorations that have been hand-made over the years. This is a photo I took
before those tiny works of art were added, but I do admit that the final
version was better!
I
love connecting on social media:

I’m on Instagram too.
A
huge thank you to Pauline for inviting me to share my Christmas memories on her
blog, and a merry Christmas and a happy new year to everyone.
Warmest
wishes,
Daisy
