Can I just say…WHERE HAS THE YEAR GONE? It feels just like yesterday
that I was summarising my whole ‘Blogmas 2015’ experience, and now here I am in 2016, back with
another ‘Blogmas’ series. For those who may not know what I am talking
about, Blogmas is a little series of Christmas themed blog posts that are uploaded daily throughout the month of December. ‘Blogging every day to Christmas’. I started taking part in this 2
years ago, and although I found it stressful I enjoyed the whole experience. I
am also a lot more planned this year! So am excited to share with you all of
the posts I have created!
5
things I love about Christmas!
1)
Christmas Music – Love it or hate
it, but nothing beats a rainy cold Saturday afternoon, out Christmas shopping
while listening to the classics. Although lets be honest, I am certainly one of
those people who start preparing myself with the tunes in September. Ok, so I
love Christmas!
2)
Christmas Movies – Closely followed
by Christmas music HAS to be Christmas Movies right? Again, there is nothing
better than a lazy Sunday afternoon sat in front of the television watching a
Christmas movie classic. Some of my favourite’s including The Grinch, Arthur
Christmas and The Polar Express! Again, I started watching these in September
because nothing puts me in a better mood than a little bit of festive cheer!
3)
Decorating – Decorating the
Christmas tree is one of my favourite things to do to get me into the holiday
spirit. I don’t know about you, but in our house we have a tradition that we
have to get our tree on the first weekend in December. Ever since I can
remember we have done this, and despite my moans and groans of wanting to get
the tree earlier, I love that we have this little tradition. We also always get
a real tree, as the smell sums up Christmas!
4)
Family – Ok, so I guess we knew that
this one would be coming! Despite everything I have already said, and will be
saying, nothing means more at Christmas to me than my family. Christmas is the
one time of year that everybody takes time out of their busy schedule’s to just
spend it with each other. I am really lucky to have a large family to spend the
holiday season with which makes it extra special. My mum has baked a gorgeous
Christmas cake for the past couple of years as well which I have adopted as our
new family tradition…not that she knows this yet!
5)
Presents – I know I am not alone
when I say this, but I love shopping for other people’s Christmas presents.
It’s probably my most favourite part. Especially when buying for my brother,
mum and dad. I like to think I am a good present giver as I make so many notes
on my phone for things they say they want. Sometimes I spend hours searching
online for the perfect gift.
So
there are some of my top 5 things that I love most about Christmas!
