Happy Christmas Eve everyone! How is Christmas Day tomorrow?! It's come around again so quickly. I'm writing this whilst feeling so full after having a little Christmas dinner today- we are with dad tomorrow so I will feel exactly the same haha. Yes that means we will have had two Christmas dinners, but I'm not complaining haha. Here's a picture of our Christmas (Eve) dinner table!! We have a few Christmas Eve traditions, and why not share with you what they are! Making cute hot chocolates.Is that a surprise?... not really seeing as we are obsessed with them around this time of year. We watch films.Whether it's Christmas films, or disney films we watch a series of films on Christmas Eve. Board Games are played.This is tradition we normally do with all our family members, but when we don't have Christmas with them we still play lots of board games- Cluedo, Monopoly, Disney games just to name a few. Christmas polaroids.Since I got a Polaroid camera we always take lots of Christmas polaroids, with our Christmas jumpers on etc. We takes lots on Christmas Day too, which is always lots of fun. MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! I hope you all have a merry, great and relaxing Christmas- try not to eat too much too... I know I will though. I will be back posting nearer to the New Year, see you soon!

Happy weekend everyone! Can’t believe it’s Christmas Eve Eve!! I love this time of year so I have a lot of different favourites. Here’s a list below.. let me know what your favourite Christmas things are! Hot Chocolate, mmmmm...This is my favourite drink to have this time of year. I love watching really festive films whilst drinking my hot chocolate. I always have to put marshmallows into the drink too, you can see from the picture above how many marshmallows we have, whoops! Christmas movies.You’ve got to watch Christmas films around this time of year. I have no clue the amount of times I’ve watched love actually around this festive season but I never get bored of it-who gets bored of love actually?!! The Grinch is also one of my favourites, even though I haven’t watched it in quite a while. We always used to watch it when we were younger so it’s definitely a Christmas tradition of ours. Lights.I love looking at the different decoarations people have outside their houses.When we were younger we would always go to this one particular street nearby because most of the houses would have amazing decorations outside. It makes me in such a festive mood. Here's some pictures of houses around where I live. Family.This is an obvious one but means the most to me at Christmas. Not living near my family can get really hard especially when we only see them a few times a year. So when Christmas arrives we know it’s time to see everyone again. I feel like not seeing my family a lot really does make me cherish all the laughter, fun and lovely memories I have with them, which is really special to me. Music.I am always playing Christmas songs this time of year and it’s always the same ones every year but who doesn’t love that?!! The older Christmas songs are the best in my opinion, I can never get enough of them. -What's your Christmas favourites? Merry Christmas everyone by the way. Hope you have a lovely Christmas. Lidia xx Less than one week until christmassss!!! So I had to post a christmassy blog! Last week I went to Winter Wonderland again. My two friends travelled down to spend a day with me which was lovely. I feel very festive after going to Hyde Park!! Even though the tube journey on the way back was a nightmare and we were cold, tired and there were loads of people we still had a great time. Next year I’m going to try and go during the week day as it was far too busy on Saturday. If you can go on a week day definitely go then instead of at the weekend. It seemed better this year compared to last year, with more rides, food stalls, markets stalls. However, it is still pretty expensive but it’s the We spent a good few hours there, and here’s some pictures I took- I didn’t take as many as last year though, so I’m sorry for the lack of photos! When we went to St Pancras afterwards so my friends could get back on the train, we spotted a massive tree and I had to get pictures!! It was the most beautiful tree decorated from top to bottom with roses- my type of christmas tree. ![]() And of course we took some cute Polaroids in front of my christmas tree, before we travelled to Winter Wonderland. I had the best weekend with my besties, even though they didn't spend a lot of time in London. I didn't want it to end. Let me know if you've recently been to Winter Wonderland, and what you got up to whilst you were there! Lidia xx My Social Media:I've seen a lot of people sharing their disney decorations on social media, especially Instagram, so I thought why not show you mine- seeing as we have quite a large collection now. I would definitely say we nearly have got more disney decorations on our tree than we have normal/traditional ones!! Every time we go to Disney we always have to make a trip to the Christmas shop, and a buy a few- I feel like that's part of our Disney tradition! So here's our collection so far! Let me know if you have any disney decorations, and if you have the same ones as me!! ![]() This one is Mickey shaped and furry, what more could you want!! And I think this is one of the first ones we bought, either at Disneyland Paris or Walt disney world I can't remember. I think it's so cute- it's plain but still gives the tree Disney magic. ![]() Again, this Tinkerbell decoration was one of the first in our collection but it is probably one of my favourites. I remember when I was around 8years old, being so excited to place her on the tree and it always had to go near the top so she could fly!! ![]() This Mickey and Minnie snow globe decoration is one of the more recent ones. I picked it up at Disneyland Paris when I went back in June. I saw it and had to get it- it has the cute couple dressed as Santa and Mrs Clause, in front of a Christmas tree and of course with snow at their feet. These next decorations are very similar, which we think we picked up from Tokyo Disney when we went in august 2016 but we honestly can't remember. They are collectable Mickey shaped hats of Belle, Sally and Rapunzel and they are cutest. There were lots of different characters but we chose our favourites. They are so different to ones we've seen before! ![]() I remember getting this Aurora one back in 2005 when we went to WDW for the first time. It was so different to anything else I'd seen as it is an Aurora bell!! How cool is that! It looks so pretty when the Christmas lights shine through the bell. This one is similar to the Mickey and Minnie snow globe decoration, but it has a velvet Christmas hat attached, and the snow globe is Mickey shaped!! We got this from WDW and Mickey looks so cute with his hat, scarf and gloves on!! ![]() My brother loves Toy story so when we saw this, back in 2013 at WDW we had to buy it for him. They look so cute holding onto a Mickey hat! I love how the year is painted on it too- makes it easier to remember where we got it from haha! ![]() Another Mickey and Minnie one, you can't have enough of them on your tree though! This one is similar to the one I bought this year at Paris, but instead this isn't a snow globe. Again it is glittery and very cute. ![]() I love this one so much! It's a Minnie shoe!! We got this from Tokyo and I had never anything like this before it's so pretty! ![]() Again, it is very similar to the other Mickey and Minnie decorations but they are just adorable dressed in wedding outfits!! These two we got in Disneyland Paris back in 2014. I love the one where you can place a photo inside. I still need to put a photo in from that trip! Both have Sourcer Mickey which are different to the ones we have. And of course they are glittery!! ![]() This isn't an actual Disney decoration, it's actually from Paperchase. We bought because reminded us of Buzz's ride at Disney with the laser guns. It's very glittery and sparkly too which is amazing when the lights hit it. ![]() This one was one of the first to be added to the collection, all the way back in 2005. Minnie is holding a little star and it needed to be bought so we could place her near the top of the tree. It's my favourite- who knew how many memories a Christmas decoration could hold? We did have a Mickey one but he broke several times, so sad... ![]() And finally.... This one I got last week from the Disney Store. I had been looking at it for ages and kept telling myself I didn't need it. Then when I knew it was reduced I had to go and buy one. I love The Resucers and it is very rare to see things on the film- so I knew I had to buy it. It's completely different to the others in our collection and I'm so glad I got it. Thank you for reading, sorry it was quite a long blog- I really wanted to share my collection with you all!!Let me know your favourite Disney decoration and if you have any which are the same/similar to mine!! Lidia xx My Social Media:I’ve been planning this blog for ages, so seeing as it’s the 1st December why not show you my playlist for this month!!! Some songs are ones I stumbled upon, on Spotify which aren’t related to Christmas- they make me feel cosy and chilled which is definitely needed seeing as it's winter now! But, yes you guessed it, the majority are Christmas songs!!! The Christmas songs are some of my favourites, which really get me in the festive mood!! Can you tell I'm excited for Christmas?? Follow me on Spotify- @_lidiaamico -Who else is excited for Christmas??!! My social Media:
Yes I know Christmas is only 42 sleeps away but a lot of the people I know are not even thinking about Christmas already! Normally I’m one of those people-I don’t really start about it until the start of December but this year is different. I don’t know why but I’ve already started doing things towards the big day!!
1. I'm already playing Christmas music.
Normally I hate it when my friends are playing Christmas music all day long, but this year I’m the one doing it!! "All I want for Christmas is youuuuuuu"!!!
2. I’ve changed my phone home screen to a Christmas tree.
Yes I’ve even done this..I’m going all out this year?
3. I bought Christmas presents.
Not all of them though. I’ve started thinking what to get family members but I have bought friends Christmas presents!!
4. I'm already thinking of the Christmas food!!
This has definitely been on my mind lately. You’ve got to love Christmas Day food!
5. Thinking about the New Year.
I know this doesn’t have anything to do with christmas but once the festive period is over, the new year is on everyone’s minds!
I’ve been reminiscing about all the 2016 memories and it’s sad how quickly the year has gone! I’ve made such lovely friends from uni who I share so many memories with, the ups and downs this year has brought, all the adventures I’ve done during the summer, meeting up with my besties and creating so many more memories, plus all the amazing memories I have with my family. This year has been so full of highs and lows but it’s taught me so much. |
