What would you buy your character for Christmas?
I would buy her a return trip to Australia so she could see the twins.
What is your character’s Christmas wish this year?
Abi naively would like to be a real, solid, dependable mum to Jack.
How do you normally spend Christmas?
Always with family and friends, it’s all about family. And if there are a few waifs and strays
they are always invited.
What is your favourite Christmas memory?
This is a really difficult one because I have been one of those people who has been really
lucky and I have a million great Christmas memories. Every single one of my childhood
Christmases was utterly perfect, hysterically happy and totally believing in the magic of it so I
have’t got a favourite because they were all my favourite.
Do you have a Christmas tradition?
There is always milk, biscuits and a carrot left out… even to this day. I’ve always done it
since I was tiny. Christmas eve is always at home, listening to Christmas albums, eating nice
food and watching Christmas television or a Christmas film.
What’s your favourite Christmas present you’ve ever received?
This is a tough question but the first thing that pops into my mind is a Cabbage Patch Kid
that I got when I was ten years old. She was called Theresa Madelina, she had thick brown
plaits and I adored her, in her little green dress. The year later, I got another Cabbage Patch
Kid that I called Scotty Wallace and I was over the moon, I remember that very vividly.
Have you ever re-gifted a present?
I don’t know if this counts but I have given stuff to church, for example when they do charity
fundraisers.
What is your favourite part of Christmas dinner?
That’s a tough question but I am going to be really controversial and say the gravy. I love it
when it soaks the plate, I like my food swimming in gravy. I love the condiments like the
cranberry sauce, the horse radish, the mustard, the mint sauce. I love roast potatoes but for
me, gravy is the crowning glory of the meal.
What is your favourite Christmas movie?
It’s an impossible question to answer but I can narrow it down to White Christmas, Elf,
Miracle on 34th Street. Those are my top three and I can’t narrow it down any more than
that!
What is your favourite Christmas song?
This question is even harder but I absolutely love Mariah Carey’s All I Want For Christmas,
it’s an absolute bobby-dazzler. I love Step Into Christmas by Elton John, I love Wizzard’s I
Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday and Slade’s Merry Christmas Everybody. The most
recent songs that I love are Jamie Cullen’s Christmas album which is fantastic and Sia’s
Everyday Is Christmas which I think is the best Christmas album that has been out in the last
fifteen years. It’s phenomenal.
