Blogmas Day 21: Christmas Favorites

Hi everyone,

I’m back. AAHH. I just finished the first semester of my sophomore year in college, and it flew by. I always say I won't fall behind blogging, but I always do. However, I'm back, and I promise I won't be leaving this time. Why is that? Because I'll need to be updating you about London. YES, LONDON. I made it through this crazy semester in Iowa, and now I’ll spend the next four months in a city I’ve always dreamed of.

I’m planning on doing a yearly favorites post soon, so I’ll update you with some of my festivities then. But I figured I would try to do at least a few Blogmas posts while I still have time! Yes, I know I missed days 1-20... We'll just start out a little later than most.

I’ve been a little out of the Christmas mood recently (maybe it’s because there’s no snow), but I figured I would need to change that myself. So, after watching Elf, some vlogmas and Christmas-y videos on YouTube, and listening to Christmas tunes (Band Aid 30's "Do They Know It's Christmas?" is amazing), I'm finally starting to feel in the mood. I’m figuring out what the most festive of festivities would be, and I picked out some of my favorites for you all.

Favorite Christmas Movie:

"Elf"—"Christmas Vacation" is a close second

Favorite Christmas Song:

The Christmas Song (errr festive title too)

Favorite Christmas Food:

Peanut Butter Balls—recipe to come! (I know you'll love it as much as I do)

Favorite Christmas Candle Smell:

Christmas Cookies or anything that smells festive: Christmas tree, Christmas Cinnamon, Christmas Candy Apple. Now I think I'm just putting Christmas in front of some of my favorite smells because I love candles...

Favorite Tradition:

Getting together with my family and eating way too much food. Family is what makes this season amazing.

My lovely siblings, cousins and I.

Ugly Christmas Sweaters: Yay or Nay?

Yay, obviously! Who doesn’t like getting to dress up like a total goof for a day (or month—why not wear them all 25 days)

So, this is my scatterbrained post about Christmas. I want to post a recipe or DIY for you before the actual date—it’ll be here quick. I also best finish up my shopping. So, I’ll call it good for today. Be sure to finish up your shopping, remember Santa is always watching and please keep in mind: giving is ALWAYS better than receiving. Until next time,
