Christmas
I Love Christmas, I love Christmas shopping, wrapping presents, listening to Christmas music, putting the tree up. The list goes on and on. So I'm going to write things I love to do as well as decorations, films to watch, songs to listen too and Christmas Scents whether they be candles or shower gels etc.
Now First Thing Firsts, The Christmas Tree goes up the first Friday of December it has done for the past five years and it will continue doing so for me. We have a Fake tree that we've had for about four/five years it saves the mess and the tree losing it's needles the only thing I miss from a real tree is it's smell but I found these sticks that have the tree scent and you just pop them into your fake tree and it smells just like the real thing. Are Tree is mix and match as it has decoration we've collected over the years.
Christmas Tree
This will be my view some of the time when I'm blog post writing.
Last year I went to Disneyland Paris and Bought my first Disney Decorations and I then purchased more online from the Disney Store later that year, and This year I have bought some more Disney Decorations from the Disney Store and one of them even sings so I thought I'd show you the new ones for this year then all the ones I own as that would take up a lot of space.
Christmas Shopping
I love Christmas shopping when the towns are all decorated with lights it's just so pretty but doing it once is enough for me. Places I love to shop are Boots (love there 3 for 2 plus if you have there points card use the points you've got throughout the year, Soap & Glory gift sets. I also eye up luxury gift sets to see what I like and wait for the January Sales cause why not), Lush for there festive limited edition products, The Body Shop for there Christmas Exclusive products and gift sets, Accessorize for cute Christmas Socks and Slippers, Superdrug for Gift Set and also Youtuber products.
But I would recommend buying most of your Christmas shopping online and then doing the last little bits actually going out so you can enjoy the atmosphere because having ten bags and people bumping into you isn't fun with your hands full. Good Online only shops that I love to use are Rock N Rose, I Love Crafty, Punky Pins, Yankee Candle (yes you can find them in some shops and outlets).

For Christmas most people have Christmas Jumper and this year I finally bought one which I'm wearing Christmas Day but before I bought the jumper I bought this top and thought it was perfect for me as it either has to look like Christmas has threw up on you or really simple and classic. Now this top is from New Look and was £8 so it was a bargain as well.
Also another essential for Christmas is Slippers or Slipper sock I have bought both I bought my Slippers from Accessorize which are just a White Faux Fur pair and were £17 (should be easy enough to keep them clean) and My Slipper Socks are F&F at Tesco's and they are so soft and warm and they were £10. But Slippers and Slipper socks make great gifts if I'd of received them and not bought them I'd be happy.
Christmas Films
Now you can't have the Christmas without a few festive films whether they happen everyday till Christmas or are a Christmas eve tradition. So here are a list of my favourite christmas films.
The Santa Clause - watch this as a kid and I rediscovered it last month on Netflix and it filled me with so much joy and I remember why I loved it so much. 100% one to watch.
The Muppet's Christmas Carol - This is my papa's favourite Christmas film and probably the only one he'll sit down and watch, but I really enjoy it and it's probably my favourtie version of the Christmas Carol as it's funny and even though it's a story everyone knows it's a funny quirky version.
The Snowman - As a Kid this was other Christmas Favourite as it's the magic of what if your snowman could come alive, what would happen I also like that the Father Christmas from Father Christmas is in the film and ties them slightly together.
Father Christmas - Another Childhood favourite as pretty much all of them are, I love this as it's the film all about what Father Christmas does the rest of the year as which kid doesn't want to know that.
Beauty and The Beast An Enchanted Christmas - I think my favourite thing about this film is that it is set within the original film and of course has one song that I love in it. Belle is of course one of my favourite Princess so it just had to feature.
The Grinch - I love Dr Suess Films The Lorax is properly my favourite but second is The Grinch, I love Jim Carrey and he plays the Grinch so well. It's a good family Christmas film to stick on.
The Nightmare Before Christmas - Now This is a Christmas Eve Traditions for me as I've watched it for the past 5 years on Christmas Eve and yes it has Halloween theme but it's all about the magic and how Christmas makes you feel and I love it.
It's a Wonder Life - I first watched two years ago when it was on the TV it's not the most happiest of Christmas Films to start with but it has an amazing meaning to it, and you should definitely watch even if it's just to say you've seen it.
Love Actually - I feel this is either a love or hate film, I really enjoy it and all the different stories that cross over together but I know people who don't like it but I like the fact that is show love, loss, heartbreak and that not everyone Christmas is a fairy tale although it does end with the fairy tale ending for most of them.
The Holiday - This a Typical Christmas Romantic Film but also shows it for both sides, I'd say this is one to watch for a girly night with a bottle of wine and chocolates.
Arthur Christmas - I saw this for the First time Last Christmas I put it on because there was nothing on and thought why not give it ago and I was pleasantly surprised I really enjoyed it and I would 100% watch it again around Christmas.
I also love watching Bridget Jones Diary not just at Christmas but seen as it has a few Christmas scenes in it and I love Bridget Jones why not stick it on and I can't wait for the new one.
Now you'll see that I haven't added a Christmas Film that properly everyone loves and watches which is Home Alone but I have never seen it fully I catched it on tv with half an hour left or in the middle but never at the beginning but their is a part which I couldn't watch as it's something that freaks me out so Hopefully I'll get to watch it this year minus 2 minutes for the bit I can't watch.
Christmas Songs
Like Slade sings 'does your granny always tell you that the old songs are the best' well that is 100% true the only Christmas 'songs' you get now are xfactor and ones that have nothing to do with Christmas anymore and this saddens me as I love a good Christmas song even the cheesy ones so here are a list of some of my favourite songs to listen too, wrap presents too and of course dancing too.

Christmas Scents
Well at Christmas there is nothing I love more then a Festive Shower gel, body lotion, body mist, soap, candle or wax melts. Basically anything that smells good. I've split this into Body and Candle/Wax Melt so it's not one big chunky of writing.
Body
I think my first ever festive scent thing I owned was Lush's Snow Fairy when I was about 12 ish and I love the smell of it and the glitter and I still do. I got some for Christmas last year but didn't use it as I wanted to use it to the run up of Christmas so I saved it. I also purchase the festive Scents in the January sale so I can use it before the New release of Scents come out which is a smart and cheap way to get Christmas Scents for both Body and Candles/Wax Melts.

Lush
Snow Fairy is a super sweet scent as it's Candyfloss I think my favourite thing about it is the Glitter and who doesn't love glitter especially at Christmas. Shower Gels are the only thing I Purchase because I don't have baths so I love a Festive shower gel although they can't be amazingly shaped they still make me happy. I love using Snow fairy it is a favourite of mine and I'm always happy to see it back in the shops.
The Body Shop
Most of My Christmas Smells are from The Body Shop So I have Glazed Apple, Frosted Cranberry and Frosted Plum in Body polishes, Shower Gels, Body Mist, Soaps (didn't snap) and Shimmer Lotions. I think Shimmer Lotions are amazing cause you do shimmer after as well as smelling amazing. There is one thing I prefer from Previous years and that is that the Body mist could also been use and room and linen Spray but this year they've had added shimmer so you can't really which makes me sad as I love using the previous years as room sprays. But I am Loving the new Frosted Plum Scent to the line up as it's sweet and I love sweet scents if you haven't picked up on that yet but part of me wishes they did more then three scents and that it was called Sugared Plum. The only think I will say about the Shimmer lotion it is very glittery and your hands will be covered. In the picture there is Vanilla Brulee which was from last years collection and A Gingerbread which was the year before last.
Candles/Wax Melts
I Have never really owned Christmas Candles or wax melts or even anything Yankee Candle if I'm honest but seen as I do love a good Christmas scent I thought why not and when glade brought out the electric wax heater it seemed perfect. So I purchased some Yankee Candles and Wax melts from Boots on there 3 for 2. I bought Christmas Cookie Tealights, 6 Votives Christmas Collection Gift Set and Christmas Wax Melt Tube Gift (includes 12 wax melts) Two Scents they don't include but I have smelt and I would really like is the Christmas Eve and Berry Trifle. Think My favourite scent of the ones I have is the Christmas Garland.
Scents that are included are:
Season of peace, Angels wings, Snow in love, Christmas Cookie Spiced orange, Cinnamon stick, Christmas memories, Candy cane lane, Cranberry pear, Snowflake cookie, Icicles, Christmas garland and Cranberry ice.
