BLOGMAS DAY 1 - Things I Love About Chritstmas
19:00
Hello Internet!
Today, in case you didn't know, is the first day of December. This means only one thing: DAY ONE OF BLOGMAS! Now, I don't know about you, but I'm already pretty excited about Christmas. But what is it about Christmas which makes it so amazing? In this post, I'm going to go through the 6 things I love most about Christmas. 🎅 (By the way, I'm loving these Emojis!)
1 - The Weather (Sometimes)
Of course, after a short while, the bitter weather soon gets inconvenient and the rain get can frustrating really quickly. Still, though, I wouldn't want to spend Christmas with any other kind of weather.
Also, it would make me so happy if I woke up on Christmas morning to 6-ft deep snow. Though, I think I just need to learn to accept the fact that it's never going to happen.
2 - Gifts
However, not to be incredibly cliché or anything, but this section doesn't just apply to the 'receiving' aspect. Now, I don't want to be one of those people who constantly rant about the whole 'Christmas is for giving, not receiving' thing, but I guess that is exactly what I'm about to say so... Personally, I really enjoy buying gifts and trying to pick the perfect thing for different.
3 - Santa
4 - Time with Family
5 - Food
This is another obvious one. Anyone who says that they don't like Christmas dinner must be lying, surely? It doesn't necessarily matter what you're eating, as long as there's a lot of it. For many years, my family used to go for an Indian meal on Christmas Day. Loads of people thought this was weird but I don't think it matters. As long as you enjoy what you're eating and you're surrounded by the right people, nobody should be able to judge what you're eating. The only thing I don't particularly like at Christmas time is sprouts but I'll even try to eat one of those if I have to. Food is another thing which makes Christmas what it is.
6 - Everybody is Happy
In the words of Andy Williams, Christmas is 'The Most Wonderful Time of the Year'. I've noticed that, when it comes to this time of year, people tend to get much happier and buoyant and - especially at school - I've found that everything gets a bit more laid-back and calm. Somehow, the Christmas spirt spreads through the air and nobody has a choice but to join in with the euphoria.
So, that's Day 1 of Blogmas done! I hope that you enjoyed this post and I'd appreciate if you left your feedback in the comments.
What are your favourite things about Christmas? Also, one question that I've been thinking about lately is: which do you prefer, the build-up to Christmas or
the day itself? Personally, I think I prefer the build-up because, if you start early enough, it can last a long time. Christmas day goes way too quickly for my liking! What do you think?
Anyway, that's it for today. I'll be back tomorrow with day 2 of Blogmas!
