I love Christmas, everything about it... but here is my top picks, everything I love about the festive period!
1. The Elf on the Shelf
1. The Elf on the Shelf
This year AJ has named him Billy, he hasn't been overly busy - because I am a terrible parent who lacks in ideas and constantly forgets to move him!
2. Costa/Starbucks Cups
Coffee shops are just 10x better over Christmas, with their Christmas puddings and flavourings, it is a definite win for me - but I must admit my favourite thing is the cups - they are fab! But which ones are better? Costa or Starbucks?
3. My Tacky Decorations
Blogging has so many cliches, and so many I have willingly taken on, but my tree remains tacky... colourful and garish... and I don't think I would have it any other way.. I have just loved having it up in my house, I love the ducks on it - and my crocodile, Disney princesses and the penguin on the top.
4. Christmas Movies
AJ & I have been watching a fair few, so far our favourites are The Grinch, The Santa Clause, Elf & Home Alone. I love all Christmas movies, but I haven't watched Love Actually yet this year - and that is on my to do list for today!
5. Mince Pies
ALL THE MINCE PIES. Tesco Finest ones are incredible.
6. Vlogmas/Blogmas
Nothing screams Christmas more when it comes to online is blogmas, or vlogmas, snaps etc, just watching others be all festive... my favourites are LilyPebbes & Lizzy Hadfield.
7. Hot Chocolate
Ever since my work has installed the kitchens I have been obsessed with Cadbury's hot chocolate. I have been drinking it in bed at night with the TV on - it's been fab. Even better when I put Bailey's in it... at home obviously lol
8. Christmas Jumpers
I am so glad that Christmas Jumpers are now a thing - I have always had a horrible jumper obsession, and now that everyone does it for a month - I am totally ok with that!
9. Keeping Cosy
I love heating, PJ's, hot water bottles, dressing gowns & big fluffy socks. All at once. COSY!
My favourite this year has to be these beauties from Chatty Feet* T when I seen the matching family sets well I love them... AJ loves them.. These ones are their Vincent Van TOE, how fab. They would make one incredible gift - and don't worry they come in single sets too.
What I didn't realise is that I have a 5 year old who is impossible to keep still or keep clean, hence the state of the following photo, but I hope it gives you all a giggle, children are mucky!

10. Santa & Gifts
The best thing without a doubt as a parent is watching your child believe so fully in magic and Christmas, there has been so many times I wished magic was real, and for him it is. I love being a part of that, helping him to love and enjoy it as much as I did as a child.
