Blogmas 2019: Day Twelve - Festive Bloggers Tag

-

In last year’s Blogmas, I did a Christmas tag and I really enjoyed it so I thought that I would do one again this year!
What Is Your Favourite Christmas Movie?
Oh, this is such a tough one. You guys know how much I love watching Christmas movies. However, if I had to pick, some of my favourites are: The Santa Clause films, The Holiday, Jack Frost, The Christmas Prince films and Home Alone. However, I pretty much love all Christmas films so being asked to pick is a hard question.

Do you open your presents on Christmas Eve or Christmas Morning?
Always on Christmas morning. Once everyone wakes up early (thanks to me), we’ll go downstairs and sit by the tree and open presents. We were never allowed to open any on Christmas Eve and I don’t think I’d want to unless we had a specific Christmas Eve box – which is something I’d like to do with my future kids.

Do you have a favourite Christmas memory?
Some of my favourite Christmas memories involve decorating the tree with my mum when I was younger and watching films with her on Christmas Day and then helping her with making dinner.

Favourite festive food?
Another tough one. Roast potatoes though, if I had to pick. Oh, also, Jade made vegetarian pigs in blankets this year using Quorn cocktail sausages and Quorn bacon and honestly they are incredible.

Favourite Christmas gift?
I’ve been lucky enough to receive a lot of gifts over the years from my loved ones that have meant a lot to me and that I’ve loved and appreciated so having to pick just one seems tough and unfair. Honestly, I appreciate every gift and every card I’m given because knowing that someone thought of me and put their time into a present for me means a lot.

Do you have any Christmas Eve traditions?
The two things I will always do on Christmas Eve are watching one of my favourite Christmas films and have a festive bath and open a box of whatever chocolates we have in the house…to begin the celebrations.

What tops your tree?
We always have a star on the top of our tree and for the past few years, a star with my mum’s name on it takes pride of place.

What’s the best part of Christmas for you?
I love how magical it is. Everywhere you look during Christmas looks more magical because of the decorations and lights. Yes, the weather is still horrible and there are still so many bad things going on but for me, I love the sense of magic and kindness that Christmas brings out. Not everyone but a lot of people seem kinder to one another even if it is just wishing someone a ‘Happy Holidays’.


So, there we have it! Another festive tag done for Blogmas. Feel free to answer the questions too and let me know your responses or link me to your blog so I can see!

Never Grow Up

-
From the ‘Isn’t Disney for kids??’ remarks to the raised eyebrow looks you receive from some people when Disneybounding in Disneyland; one of my biggest pet peeves is being told Disney isn’t for you because you’re no longer a child. Most people I’ve come across have thankfully been quite the opposite to the above statement. However, I know this isn’t always the case as the concept of ‘Never grow up’ seems to have gone over a lot of people’s heads. Let’s start with the films. Animation, singing and princesses? I can already hear the scoffing coming from those who would argue that these are marketed towards children. The sheer hard work and imagination that goes into making such films were not just created with the intention of only being viewed by children and those that take them to see these films. The beauty of Disney movies are that they are universal. The detail that goes into the animation, the thought that goes into the messages the films portray and the time that goes i

Why I Love Disneyland Paris

-
As I’ve mentioned numerous times, I like to visit Disneyland Paris as much as I can throughout the year. I am planning on visiting the other Disney Parks (that’s something for a whole different post) but Disneyland Paris will always be home to me. I love DLP for a whole array of reasons and one of them is most definitely how easy it is to get to my favourite place. Living in London means that it just takes me one tube journey to get to St Pancras to catch the Eurostar. We’ve even been lucky enough to get a direct train to Disney on occasion. Coupling this with staying offsite in the close by Ibis Budget (In Val D’Europe) and having Annual Passes, our visits to Disneyland Paris are more affordable – and leaves us with more money to spend in the shops! From the moment I step off the train in Marne La Vallée and walk the short distance towards the magic; I’m instantly transported into the bubble of Disney. This is only heightened when I finally make it into the park for the first

Disney at Home

With Disney being such an important part of my life, and with frequent visits to Disneyland Paris, it’s only natural that Disney is incorporated into various aspects of my home life. In October of last year, I moved into my own flat with my girlfriend and our best friend. Having a whole place to ourselves meant we were free to furnish it how we please, and obviously that had to include some Disney magic sprinkled around the flat. Our living room is home to our beautiful dark wood bookcase, in which the middle shelf is home to our growing collection of shiny o-ring DVDs. Thus far, we have 32 in our collection that sit underneath a bed of Tsum Tsums. On top of the bookcase sits two of my favourite purchases we’ve made whilst in Disneyland Paris: our working Cogsworth and Lumiere figurines. These two items are quite pricey so we saved up for them and purchased both on two separate DLP trips with the aid of our Annual Pass discounts. Alongside them sits our Mrs Potts moneybox and
