My Christmas Traditions


Everyone has their own traditions they do at Christmas time. There is no right or wrong way to do Christmas. As long as it makes us happy then what else matters. I found this quote in Christmas Shopaholic by Sophie Kinsella which is actually relevant in today's society.

The quote is "If the Grinch can't steal it, that's Christmas."

This actually made me realise that it doesn't matter how many presents you have or how well decorated your house is. Christmas is about being with the ones you love and just being happy. As long as your happy on Christmas day then you'll have a great Christmas.

Now I thought I'd share some of my own Christmas traditions because why not. It is is Blogmas after all and nearly time for Christmas so why not share my traditions on this blog.

1. Turkey Christmas dinner
Every Christmas I've had since the day I can remember, my family have always had a turkey roast dinner. It's the only time I actually eat turkey. It's just a tradition of my family and now I can't not get rid of it. So I gotta have a turkey Christmas dinner.

2. Watching the Gavin and Stacey Christmas special on Christmas eve. 
Being British, everyone has heard of Gavin and Stacey and one of there best episodes is the Christmas special. It's just so relatable. Also the fact that their new Christmas special comes out on Christmas Day. It is the perfect excuse to watch the original Christmas special on Christmas eve. It's just something I've done in recent years and I feel like I must do it every year now. It just puts me in a great mood for Christmas day.

3. Stocking is always on the bedroom door
Ever since I was a child, I always had my Christmas stocking on the door. I still have the same Christmas stocking from when I was a child and it always goes on my bedroom door. It's also an extra decoration for my bedroom because it's on my door. It's just something I've always done and probably will always do.

4. Going out and seeing the Christmas lights
You gotta have a dedicated evening in December to wrap up warm and go out around town to see the Christmas lights. Some people really go all out for Christmas and fill their houses with Christmas lights that it's got to be something worth seeing. It's just a tradition that everyone does.

5. Gotta have an advent calendar 
I don't care how old I am. I'm always going to buy myself a chocolate advent calendar. It's just a tradition I've done since I could eat chocolate and something that I'll never stop doing. It's also the start of the Christmas excitement when you open the first door. Knowing you have another 23 days of chocolate to go.

So yeah, those are just five of my Christmas traditions. I know there's probably many more but I can't think of them right now. Let me know if you have any Christmas traditions that I haven't mentioned. I would love to hear them.

I'll be back again tomorrow with another Blogmas post.

See you then.

My Future Plans

Image
Planning for the future is probably one of the most scariest things. Especially when you have an end goal but have no idea how to achieve that goal. Of course many things can go wrong and you're kind of terrified to take that risk. That's how I'm feeling right now. I have the whole Christmas and New Year off which is essentially going to be spent planning what I'm going to do next. I want to move out of my mum's house by February. I want to get a job or an internship which is relevant to my degree. As you can probably tell, these are some major changes for me and I'm terrified but also kind of excited. I'm itching to start planning and I have spent several hours looking at flats to rents these past few months. Soon though it's all going to be real. I know it's going to be scary and I probably have no idea what I'm doing but at the same time, I can't wait for it all to happen. Life is about taking chances after all and sooner or later I

30 Things To Do Before I'm 30

Image
I thought I would do one of those posts where I talk about things I want to do in the future and why not do a 30 things I want do before I'm 30 so I have about nine years to achieve these thirty goals for myself. It's also something I could look back on when I am thirty years old to see if I actually have achieved any of these things. Hopefully I will but we'll have to wait and see in nine years time. 1. Get my degree Now this is probably an obvious one as I'm in my third year of university but honestly after two years of doing university it would be nice if next year I could have a degree. I also thought I'd start this list with something I could definitely achieve (fingers crossed) before I'm thirty years old. 2. Visit Harry Potter Studio Tour/Harry Potter World/Both As I am a massive Harry Potter fan I would actually like to visit the studio tours in London or visit Harry Potter world in Walt Disney World because they look absolutely amazing and wo

Chapter Two

The end of the longest month of the year to enter the shortest month of the year, except it's a leap year so instead of twenty eight days, we have twenty nine days. How exciting.  I've had an interesting first month of the year. I booked a once in a lifetime trip to Las Vegas and I'm also planning on booking a holiday to Ireland which is very exciting as I've never been to Ireland before. I think this year is going to be full of adventures so I'm looking forward to what this year will bring. It's getting me motivated to start living a healthier lifestyle though. Eating less and moving more.  I'm also still saving up on top of all the holidays, I hope to buy a car this year. I'm not sure what I'm planning on doing this February. I know there's Valentine's Day which as a single person is a day I detest, although I'm going to make plans and celebrate my single hood. Then of course there's pancake day which is always a treat. There's
