A very bookish Christmas with Emma

Hi Emma and welcome to Alba in Bookland's Christmas feature. Let's start with your best Christmas present from your childhood:

So I was an early teen at the time and I had just become obsessed with hair, makeup and such like and my parents got me this curling tong by Carmen Girls. I swear I had never been so happy I curled my hair and any female that walked in the door for the next few months.

Mince Pie, yay or nay?

Oh definitelty a big fat YAY. Preferably warm with some cold custard.

A Christmas Day tradition:

I don’t do this as much now but when we were children every year we would get new PJ’s and after Christmas dinner but before dessert we would all take turns to bath/shower and put our new pj’s on. My parents would tumble dry them for a few minutes so we would feel all warm and cosy.

OMG I have to pick one….just one…..ok I’m sorry but I can’t pick one but here is a selection of my favourites.
