I have asked a lot of people on this blog so far about what their favourite things about Christmas are, but then I realized I haven’t really covered what my favourite things are about Christmas! So for today’s blogmas I have decided to do a countdown of my favourite things. Enjoy:
5- Wrapping Gifts: There is something so much fun about blasting Christmas songs whilst wrapping up Christmas presents! I love to go all out with the decorative paper, ribbons and bows. There is nothing more satisfying about looking at all the presents finished and wrapped underneath the tree or in their gift bags ready for going out to your loved ones. I think my wrapping paper looks a lot better than the gift itself!
4- Christmas movies: December of course is the best excuse to watch as many Christmas movies as you possibly can. Some of my favourites being ‘The Elf’ and ‘The Holiday’. I absolutely love cuddling up on the sofa with my Christmas themed blanket, some hot cocoa, watching some good ol’ Christmas movies. To be honest, you can do that at any time of year, but it’d probably be frowned upon!
3- Christmas songs: Christmas songs are the best, best, best kind of songs! I probably start listening to them as soon as my birthday is finished in November. I can’t reveal too much as I have a whole blogmas dedicated to my favourite songs, but just know that I cannot get enough of those Christmas playlists on Spotify!
2- Giving Gifts: I know that Christmas isn’t all about gifts but I think we all love giving gifts to the people we love, just to see how excited they are when they open it. I am not the greatest gift-giver in the world, but if I know I have put a lot of effort into a specific gift I really cannot control my excitement about having the person open it. I should feel guilty really because I know how awkward it is to open gifts, especially when the person who gave it you it stood there staring at you with wide eyes and an eager grin…
1-Decorations: And my absolute favourite thing about Christmas for as long as I can remember is the decorations. There is no feeling I love more than walking through a city late at night and looking at all the lights sparkling and the snowmen in shop windows. It makes me like the whole world has unionised and everyone is feeling the love for this short amount of time after a year of crap (especially after 2016!) I think it also has a lot to do with the fact that my Mum is the best at decorating our house. Our living room always looks like Santa’s grotto AND she puts the decorations up super early because she adores Christmas just as much as I do. (Judge us, go ahead!) My love for decorations only increased when we got our little kitten and we could watch him climb up and down the Christmas tree, though he is a little bigger now so it’s probably not the best idea…
And those are my favourite things about Christmas. Comment below what your favourite things about Christmas are and enjoy the rest of your day!
Merry Christmas and go nuts guys!
