Movies to watch at Christmas // Blogmas day 4

Hey guys xo

How are you. I'm great considering it's only 21 days till Christmas. 

I love Christmas movies more than anything so today I'm doing Movies to watch at Christmas time.

One of best Christmas movies ever is Elf. I've loved this since I was little and it's a movie you can never get bored of.
Another classic is Miracle on 34th street. I've only seen the new version but I'm sure that the old version is just as good.
The Santa Clause. These are very funny movies. I remember when the firet one came out.
I think everyone should have a Harry Potter marathon at Christmas time. I know some of them aren't really to do with Christmas but there still good movies.
The polar express. Was a favourite of mine and still is. It's a good movie and really Christmassy.
I love the grinch as it such a funny movie and a bit different but still amazing.
It may not be a Christmas movie but mean girls. I mean it does have the one Christmas scene so you could count it as a Christmas movie.
Home alone is such as good movie series. I always love watching it and the hard decision is deciding which one to watch.
Nativity. I love the first one the best. I saw the third one but it wasn't as good as the first one and the second. It's still such a cute movie.


This is all I have for today. Sorry it's short but I will have longer posts up soon.
Love you all xo

What I love about Christmas // Blogmas Day 1

Hey guys xo

How are you. So it's the first day of Blogmas. I'm so excited to do this as I love Christmas. That's why today I'm doing what I love about Christmas.

I love the general atmosphere as everybody gets all Christmassy and in the Christmas spirit.

Also I think everyone can say Christmas movies are a must. I have a blog post coming up on Christmas movie to watch so keep an eye out for that.

Christmas songs are one of best things about Christmas. The music stations always have them playing.

Decorations. I love going into shops and seeing all the decorations. It really gets me in the Christmas spirit.

Putting up the the is the best thing about Christmas. Once the tree goes up it feels even more like Christmas.

When shopping centers have there decorations up. It feels so Christmassy.
Christmas limited edition products. You may aswell buy them because they won't come out again.
Doing a Kris Kindle if you call it secret Santa. We usually do one as a class and my friendship group is doing one this year aswell.
Shopping. Who doesn't love it. The best place for me is Dublin city on graft on street and the shopping centre around there because all the decorations are amazing.
Although I'm going to miss it is the school carol service. It may be Boring but I love all the Christmas songs.
If you grow up Irish the best part is the late late toy show.
Also you know it's Christmss when the Coca-Cola ads play.


That's all I have for your today xo until tomorrow
Love you all
Lauren

We're both doing posts based on autumn. So I'm doing things to do in autumn.

1. Take pictures of trees. This is cool as all the trees have pretty colours

2. Wear oversized jumpers. I love these in autumn.

3. Go to a bonfire. Some of the estates have bonfires but where I live there dangerous.

4. Stay out late with friends. Go for a walk or something.

5. Go to the beach. If you live by the sea this is a must. And stay until it's dark.

6. Do Pinterest projects to do with autumn.

7. Buy flannel shirts.

8. Wear uggs

9. Have autumn themed drinks.

10. Hot chocolate.

11. When leaves start to fall have a leave fight.

12. Wear autumnal coloured makeup.

13. If your a blogger or YouTuber do autumn videos and blog posts.
