Blogmas Day Twenty-Five: My Blogmas Experience
MERRY CHRISTMAS!! That’s right, the big day has finally arrived! By now I imagine you have already opened your presents and are halfway through a box of celebrations. I hope Santa has been kind to you all this year. For my final Blogmas post, I have decided to reflect on the last 25 days. I’d never even heard of Blogmas a couple of months ago. I had no idea what I would be letting myself in for. A new blog post every day was the challenge, and somehow I’ve made it to the end. My Blogmas experience has been a stressful one, but one that I have enjoyed. Trying to…

Blogmas Day Eighteen: The Best Christmas Lights In My Area
In yesterday’s blogmas post I interviewed one of my best friends and fellow blogger Catherine with some Christmas themed questions. Today I want to share with you some of the amazing decorations that I’ve come across when I’ve been out and about in the area that I live in.

I mean, think of the electricity bill! I’m going to be counting down my top 5 favourite decorated houses. #5 This picture really doesn’t do the house…

Blogmas Day Fourteen: Decorating The Tree
Yesterday I interviewed a fellow blogger with some Christmas themed questions. Today I will be talking about the most exciting part of Christmas…decorating the Christmas tree. It’s something that I look forward to all year round. Even now, when I have my own place with my own family, I still enjoy going back home to my Mum’s house and helping to decorate the tree for her. I don’t think that tradition will ever stop. You may be thinking, why don’t you just decorate your own tree and grow up like a normal human being. The honest answer to that is that I’m not allowed to decorate my own tree.…

Blogmas Day Twelve: What I Love and Hate About Winter
Yesterday’s post was all about what to buy for your Secret Santa. December can bring all types of emotions. It can be a month filled with happiness and Christmas spirit, and it can also be a royal pain in the ass. I’m going to be giving an insight into what I like and dislike about the winter period. What I Like About Winter Christmas! Everybody loves Christmas. Apart from the few Grinch’s out there, zapping all the Christmas joy out of the world. It’s a time where you can really spend quality time as a family and make so many memories. I’ve always looked forward to Christmas right from a…

Blogmas Day Ten: When Austin Met Santa
For yesterday’s post I gave a few Elf on the Shelf ideas which you can catch up on here! Today I am going to be sharing with you the story of when Austin met Santa Claus for the very first time. It’s supposed to be a magical moment. Your child experiencing the magic that is Christmas. Children love Santa, and all of the magic that he brings. Austin clearly hadn’t got the message. Austin has always had a fear of unfamiliar men, and some familiar men when he’s in a particular bad mood. He also seems to have a developed a phobia of beards as well. So as caring and…

Blogmas Day Seven: My Christmas Memories
For today’s blogmas post I thought it would be good fun (for you anyway) to share some photographs from previous Christmases. Some of these photos are from when I was young, and some from recent years. When I came across these pictures there was some serious cringing happening, especially the first couple. I hope you enjoy reminiscing with me about my Christmas memories. They certainly brought back some nice memories for me.
