Hi everyone,
Christmas is my favourite season of the year. If you don’t like Christmas, I hope after this post you start liking it a little bit more.
- Magic and Light
Since I was a child, I remember Christmas as a magical period of the year, because of all the lights in the streets, writing a letter to Santa and meeting Santa Claus is something magical because when you grow up, you know he is not real. Still, when you were a kid, it really meant everything to you.
- Advent Calendars
As probably you already know I am addicted to chocolate and having the opportunity to eat it for 25 days in a row is amazing. Nowadays they have more options for advent calendars, such as food ones or beauty, but I am the biggest fan of the original one.
- Christmas Songs
Christmas Songs are so good, and it’s impossible not to feel happy when you listen to them. My favourite one is “Last Christmas” and “All I want for Christmas is You”, I know that everyone likes them, but I can hear them all year and not just during Christmas.
- The Decorations
One of my favourite memories of Christmas is always decorating the Christmas tree and even now that I am not home for the 1st of December that is when we put the Christmas tree up, my mum always calls me to see if I like it. Last year, I was so sad that I didn’t have a tree, so I decided to buy a small one and I am delighted with her.
- Christmas Movies
This one you know for sure, I love movies !! So, when it comes to Christmas there are always some movies that I have to watch but stay tuned as I will try and post about this, so you don’t miss my favourite ones.
- Family
Every year I am always grateful for my family and the value that they have, but now that I am faraway when it comes to Christmas, it has a more significant meaning to me. It is that 2 days that I can see my family and spend a fantastic time with them, sometimes watching movies, playing games or even just talking with each other about our year.
- The food
Of course, I had to include this one, and I think everyone will agree with me that at Christmas you have the best food. To be honest, I am not the biggest fan of proper meals, my favourite part is always the desert or the salty appetisers. I will also do a post about how my Christmas was, including a full list of what I had in terms of food.
- Cold Weather and Fireplace
I always spend Christmas Eve in my aunts house, and it’s freezing inside, so one of the best things in the fireplace because it keeps us very warm. A fun fact about me, I love the smell of something burning, so this is like heaven for me.
- Dressing Up
This one is essential for me, even when I was tiny. I always like to wear something new on Christmas day and to dress up a little bit. On Christmas eve I usually wear my Christmas jumper, and this year I hope all the family gets one.
- Presents
I left this one for the end because it is a controversial topic. I love to buy gifts and spend time looking for what to buy for each person. I love to receive gifts as well because it means the person thought about me and about my tastes.
I hope you enjoyed my post and Merry Christmas,
