Festive Fun with... Lainy from So Many Books, So Little Time

It's my absolute pleasure to welcome my friend and fellow blogger Lainy to the blog for today's Festive Fun with... feature. 

Tell us a little bit about yourself. 
My name is Lainy, I am a Scottish bookworm and lover of all things books and paws.  We have been blogging for 10 years.

What are you most looking forward to this Christmas? 
Putting up the decorations, we do 12 days before, 12 after, my mums tradition.  We have the old fashioned ceiling decs and the big star is 40 years old (held together with staples, tape).  I wear Christmas themed clothes from the 1st to the 31st much to my o/h horror.  We hope this year will be even more extra special, it is a time for family.

Do you have any favourite family Christmas traditions?
As above, Decorations, family dinner, memories of those no longer with us and of course we watch one of the best Christmas movies, Die Hard.

What is your best Christmas memory? 
Family being together around the table.  It is the one time of year we never worried about food and the house always smelled amazing.  

Festive Fun: My Fantasy Christmas Dinner Party by Lainy Swanson

Tonight I'm handing the reins of the blog over to fellow blogger Llainy from So Many Books, So Little Time to host her Fantasy Christmas Dinner Party, so who would she invite?

Stephen King for sure, apparently he never goes to cons, much book events or anything like that.  King is the reason I love reading/horror, I started reading when I was about 8, IT was my first book.   I think he has an amazing mind and made so many creations, I have many questions about some of his endings and I just think he would make for great chat.

A fictional character or characters, John Coffey from The Green Mile (Stephen King) the guy does miracles and ends up on death row, he is a great character but we know practically nothing of his back story. He had such a crap roll of the life dice, I would like to hug him, show him a little kindness considering all the good things he done despite having so much bad/evil flung his way.

Kimberley Chambers, crime/gangland author.  I met her once and she is always so nice, chatting to readers/authors online.  Her stories are hillarious, the antics with Vinnie the cat and her pals wee dogs she dog sits every so long.  You could listen to her stories all day.
