'O I wish it could be Christmas everydayyyy'

 

 Thought I'd start blogging and what better day to start the Christmas day, once the Christmas beast is gone, presents unwrapped and played with and even an afternoon nap taken place what better way to start a blog, full of food well rested and a toffee apple cider to drink (perfect).

So here is a list of some of my favourite things about Christmas/Festive season!

 

Things I love about Christmas/Festive period:

 

1. Family Party's/Spending time with Family

2. Putting the Christmas tree up

3. Christmas Shopping

4. Christmas pampering (nails, hair, face masks & products)

5. Christmas shaped foods

6. Chocolates (seems to be an unlimited amount at Christmas)

7. Christmas Films

8. Christmas Eve

9. Christmas Dinner

10. Presents (especially the one you knew nothing about)

 

 

I mean what's not to love about Christmas and most of the month of December. I mean seeing family like the whole family Christmas and a BBQ in summer is the only time my whole family get together to eat and be 'merry'.  So now I'm breaking down why these are the thing I love about Christmas.

 

1. Family Party's/Spending time with Family: My family are absolutely mad but all the best people are. so family party's/spending time with family are always hilarious and its always good to spend times with the family.

 

2. Putting the Christmas tree up: Putting up the Christmas tree is one of my favourite things to do. The tree goes up the first weekend  of December and has done for the past five years, normally its just me and my papa that put's it up and this year I had Disneyland Paris and Disney ornaments to add to the tree this year.

                       3. Christmas Shopping: Now I know Christmas shopping can be stressful so I only really do it once then buy what I can do online gets done online, but I love walking in York with the lights up, all the Christmas decorations, having a scrummy hot chocolate, all wrapped up, with friends and of course lots of talking.          

 

 

4. Christmas pampering (nails, hair, face masks & products): Christmas pampering whether its a quick face mask on Christmas eve or a couple days or prep with hair, nails, fake tan etc. for me it has to be done. Getting glitter nails or Christmas nail art on them for the festive season. another amazing thing about Christmas is the Christmas products, Boots, The body shop, Lush, Disney store, Punky pins and the list goes on but to name a few of my favourites have to be the Ted Baker and Soap & Glory gift set that Boots.com bring out at Christmas. The Frosted Cranberry, The Ginger sparkle and The new one for this year Glazed Apple that TheBodyShop.co.uk bring out (and they change it every year). The snow fairy and the mass amount of bath bombs lush.co.uk bring out every year. DisneyStore.co.uk bring out Christmas mugs, soft toys, sacks and home ware from the Christmas season (mostly frozen this year). And finally PunkyPins.co.uk make jewellery but at Christmas they make Christmas themed jewellery so gingerbread house earrings, bracelets but my favourite is the 'Let it snow' and 'jingle bells' necklace which I've been eyeing up. (The list does go on but most of the Christmas stock is now in the boxing day sales BONUS!)

 

5. Christmas shaped foods: What's more Christmassy than Star, Christmas tree, Snow flake, presents or even a teddy bear shaped cookies or even crumpets and don't food taste better when it's shaped.

 

6. Chocolates (seems to be an unlimited amount at Christmas): Chocolates come in boxes, tubs, trays and of course handfuls and handfuls at Christmas. At my house it's like a chocolate factory and of course I have my favourites in different tubs normally the strawberry and hazelnut ones.

 

7. Christmas Films: Christmas Films everyone has there favourite's but if I had to pick one I'd pick Tim Burtons The Nightmare Before Christmas as my long film and my Christmas short film would be Father Christmas. (okay I cheated a little) and also love The Grinch.

 

 

8. Christmas Eve: Christmas eve and Christmas films kinda come hand in hand for me. Every Christmas eve before bed or an hour or so before I watch The Nightmare before Christmas then go to bed before Father Christmas comes.

 

9. Christmas Dinner: My favourite thing about Christmas dinner has to be pigs in blankets they are so good. but the whole meal is amazing and so filling and I don't mind a turkey sandwich the day after Christmas as its one meal a year. Everyday after Christmas yeah maybe not but there is only ever enough for one turkey sandwich each.

 

10. Presents (especially the one you knew nothing about):  No matter who you are everyone loves getting gifts and I love seeing people's face when they see what you bought them and how grateful they are but the presents you have no idea about are always the best like this year my brother got me Olaf from build a bear. (safe to say I was happy and of course I got 'i'm really a mermaid jewellery')

 

 

Merry Christmas Everyone

Hope you've had a Fab Christmas
