Hey !

I’m incredibly late for this, but hey that’s kind on my trademark now I guess !
Anyways, I was nominated by two lovely bloggers for two different tags : The Christmas Tag by Ingrid Madison Ave, and for the Blogger Recognition Award by Thanaë, thank you both very much for nominating my blog !

Just note that Thanaë is a French blogger, therefore I’m going to do the second tag in French, but translating it to English right below ?

The Questions :

1. What’s your favourite thing about Christmas ?
The overall “magic in the air” feeling that I get from the decorations, the family, the presents, the food…

2. What’s your favourite Christmas memory ?
I love Christmas but I don’t actually have a strong Christmas memory, my favourite would maybe be the year I got my late white kitty when I was younger.

3. Are there special traditions your family has for Christmas ?
My mother has one : giving socks to EVERYONE !

4. What’s your Christmas wish ? (Can be personal or general)
Again, I’m not sure that I have a Christmas related wish. I just wish to spend a happy Christmas !

5. What’s your favourite Christmas dish ?
I love my grandmother’s Fowl with chesnuts !

6. What’s your favourite Christmas decoration ?
Lights ! Definitely fairy lights, they create a nice and warm atmosphere into a room.

7. What’s your favourite Christmas song ?
I really like that one from Sia : Everyday is Christmas for a modern song, and among traditional ones, a simple Silent Night sounds perfect.

8. Where do you usually celebrate Christmas ?
I always go to my mother’s house for this holiday, in a town called Orléans (not so far from paris).

9. What does the ‘Christmas Spirit’ mean to you ?
To me it means remembering to be grateful for what you already have, and to be generous with others.

10. Who out of anybody in the world would you want to spend your Christmas with ?
Well, I guess with my family ! I couldn’t think of anybody else, because that’s what Christmas is made for in my opinion.

Mon blog en quelques mots …
My blog in a few words …

C’est assez marrant, puisque c’est la première fois que je vais écrire en Français sur ce blog !
A la base j’avais ouvert un blog il y a longtemps en Français, mais je m’en suis lassée après un moment. Quelques années après j’ai crée Oriana’s Notes, car je me suis rendue compte que ça me manquait tout bêtement !
J’aime la création en général, que ce soit à travers des DIY, des photos, des gribouillis que je dessine pour le design du blog… et il s’avère qu’un blog est une plateforme d’expression parfaite pour toutes ces choses là ?

It’s kind of funny, because it’s the first time that I’m going to write in french on this blog !
At first, I had a blog a long time ago in french, but I got tired of if after some time. A few years later I created Oriana’s Notes, because I simply realized that I missed it !
I love creation in general, be it though DIY, pictures, doodles that I draw for the blog design… and it turns out that a blog is the perfect expression platform for these kind of things ?
