Blogmas Day #25: It's Christmaaaas!

Hi guys!

So, the big day had arrived! All twenty-five days of Blogmas have lead up to today, and what a day it's been! I've had some right laughs with my family, got some amazing gifts, ate some lovely food and watched some quality TV.

We woke up early of course and got straight into the usual present opening ritual with the Christmas music channels in the background. I got a range of wonderful gifts, from headphones to vinyl to cosmetics, photos to come in a bit! Even the cat joined in, bless her with her kicking around her little treat ball! We actually tried to get through all the presents at more of a slow pace, yet no matter how slow you go, it's always over in a heartbeat! So yes I was spoilt rotten and very much enjoyed all my wonderful gifts!

Now was time to get ready to go to my grandma's for lunch! My 'Ho Ho Ho' Christmas jumper was whipped out, with New Look dogtooth leggings and brand new converse and 'Jade' necklace to accompany it, sorted. It was of course the usual stuff you'd expect at Christmas dinner, turkey, pigs in blankets... the whole lot! The food was lovely. Next was straight to the front room for one of my annual festive faves - Top of the Pops! There were some fab performances from the likes of Ed Sheeran, George Ezra and Take That, with the closure of Ben Haenow's Christmas number one. The usual Queen's speech was put on next, but I found myself actually being quite engaged with it this year?! Obvs becoming a granny before my years. But yes a wonderful lunch with grandma and great grandma!

Next up we were straight back home to use all of our brand new stuff! My room was a tip so I made some room for my new gifts and I prefer the look of my room now to before so it's all good! Tidying was also slightly enjoyable with my brand new Oasis 'Definitely Maybe' vinyl on! Ooh, for Christmas I got SIX CDs as well as an iTunes voucher, so a long time was also spent synching all that!

Dinner came around and it was macaroni cheese so decidedly not so festive! We watched the Miranda Christmas special also which was as random as ever! I can't believe there is only one episode left, it feels like one of those shows that will never end. Anyway, right now as I'm typing this, we're about to watch the yearly Eastenders Christmas episode and I can't WAIT as it never fails to disappoint with the drama and shock reveals, plus the trailers have looked really promising! A few family games of trivial pursuit will most likely follow.

So, here was my Christmas in pictures...

All in all it was such a fun day with my family! I can't believe this now means the end of Blogmas, it's been SO much fun to put together this year, I'm surprised I actually didn't slack and miss any days! I hope you guys enjoyed and have all had an amazing Christmas with your loved ones!

Blogmas Day #24: Christmas Eve!

Hi everyone!

I hope you're all good! I cannot BELIEVE it's Christmas in a matter of hours, it's honestly came around so quickly! I hope you have all had a brilliant Christmas eve! For lunch I was round my grandma's, then me and my brother and parents went to the pub for some drinks, followed by coming home and getting kebabs whilst watching Eastenders and playing Heads Up! I've had such a brilliant family-filled day, just how it should be! However, there was something that I had left until last minute... wrapping my presents for my family! So the night has also been spent whipping out the wrapping paper, ribbon, tags, tape and scissors in order to place the last few presents under the tree!

So yes quite a fun night of wrapping! I am SO bad at wrapping presents, but I love decorating them with all the ribbon and tags so I like to do it anyway! I hope you guys all have an AMAZING Christmas tomorrow!

Blogmas Day #23: More Decorations!

Hi guys!

My grandma and great grandma came back from Spain on Friday, but unfortunately I didn't get to see them until yesterday due to working all weekend! Anyway, we had so much fun last night catching up and watching TV, and it's great to have them back again.

I can't believe it's only two days until Christmas! That's mental! Anyway, this was a bit of a spontaneous post as I totally forgot that my grandma would have her decorations up by the time that we got there! So I thought I'd share them with you guys.

So, without further ado...

I love Christmas decorations so much if you couldn't already tell! I'm so excited for Thursday! Are you guys all excited as well?

Blogmas Day #22: Family Christmas Meal

Hi guys!

My nan and grandad have been coming to visit a lot recently but unfortunately due to work, I haven't been able to be there myself. Thankfully, they came today when I didn't have work, so it was lovely to be able to go out for a meal with them just before Christmas! My parents and brother were there too, and we went for a gorgeous meal at The Harvester! The restaurant itself looked so lovely with all the Christmas decorations!

I'm loving the baubles! I got sausages and mash, as well as pasta and croutons. Food, family and Christmassy decor, what more could you want? 

I hope you guys enjoyed this little insight into my day :) It was the first lie-in I've had for almost two months! Are you guys doing anything special with your family prior to the big day?

Thanks for reading,
