Consummate delegator. i kindof agree

I got First Time Thrower which in a way is true as we've just bought and moved into our first house so it feels like the first proper time but you missed the most important thing which is I WILL BE WATCHING DOCTOR WHO ON CHRISTMAS DAY!

Last minute pull-it-together

LOL! well they got it right, yes im a LAST MINUTE PULL IT TOGETHER! regardless of how much planning i do it always seems to be last minute with me :(

Military planner? Ha! I'm actually a last minute throw it together type I think... It's just my affinity for cooking from scratch that must've thrown off the algorithm... ;)

Consummate delegator. There are advantages to having the smallest house in the family - I never host

Military operator, which isn't really me, but a lot of the question didn't have an option I'd actually pick...

Lol, I am a Military operator

I disagree :)

Merry Xmas Everyone

Consummate delegator
LOL if only!

Delegator hahah not surprising!

I'm a Last minute pull-it-together - this is me down to a T. I'm literally still shopping, never mind anything else! Merry Christmas everyone!!

Military operator

Consummate delegator.....sounds about right! Christmas is still something I expect my mum to do!

Consummate delegator
but dont really think I am

Military operator - most definitely.
Christmas holidays are always enjoyable - I don't agree with giving myself a stress related heart attack :).

Last minute pull-it-together - not entirely true, although I do tend to end up wrapping presents till very early in the morning of Christmas Eve.

Consummate delegater - yeah that sounds about right. If everyone else is busy with a job I'm happy.

Consummate delegator. Kind of true, kind of not.

Consummate delegator - true about food preparation. But I'm an advance planner in present buying!

Consummate delegator. Yep that's me down to a t! I am a project manager after all

Military operator - which I'd definitely say I was, even though I had to answer some of the questions 'incorrectly'. Had to smile at the "you'd happily do a full run-through of the day in advance just to make sure every tiny detail had been considered". Err, have been known to trial new gravy recipes, or stuffing mixes in advance .

First thing people are greeted with - DH pouring wine.
Mince pies - well M&S is my local supermarket I suppose.
Christmas Playlist - there really isn't one. I used to have a CD with Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby, Dean Martin and Nat King Cole singing 'White Christmas' and the like, though.

Step too far - loo roll AND bleach! Quite like the duvets but they're winter rather than Christmas and I have exactly those festive binbags, just for collecting wrapping paper and cracker detritus of course.
Post lunch is just sitting around chatting.
TV is Doctor Who!

I'm a first time thrower - this is kind of true as I have never cooked a Christmas dinner. My parents invite the extended family for Christmas lunch and then I do a Christmas buffet for my inlaws for the evening.

Thank you all so much for sharing what type of Christmas Host you are. Our sincerest apologies for the delay with the prize draw on this.

The winner of the prize draw is buckley1983 :)
