Blogmas Day Eleven - Four Films On My Christmas Watch List

-

Can you believe there’s only fourteen days left until Christmas? I honestly don’t know where the time has gone. In an earlier Blogmas post, I shared four Netflix Original Christmas films that I have watched this month. For today’s post, I thought I would share four of the “classic” Christmas movies that are on my watch list.

Jack Frost
This movie honestly takes me back to my childhood. I remember it always used to be on TV on either Christmas Day or Boxing Day. It’s one of the rare films that everyone in my family loves so we make sure to watch it every year. After all, what’s better than a talking snowman at Christmas time?

Home Alone
Is it even Christmas if ‘Home Alone’ isn’t on your Christmas watch list? Whether you’re watching Kevin left at home over the holidays or him stranded in New York – nothing says Christmas more than curling up in front of one of the ‘Home Alone’ films and stuffing your face with chocolate through your laughter.

The Holiday
Obviously at Christmas you need to watch a romantic comedy and ‘The Holiday’ is the perfect example of that. It’s not everyone’s cup of tea but for me, it’s an annual watch during the holidays (see what I did there?) and it always makes me want to live in a cute and quaint little cottage.
The Santa Clause Films
Okay so technically (like with ‘Home Alone’) I’m cheating here because this is actually more than one film, but how can I not include all of ‘The Santa Clause’ movies on my list?! They’re perfect films for the whole family to watch during the festive period and really make you feel magical as you are whisked away to the North Pole.


Obviously, these are just four of the films that I like to watch over Christmas so there are many others that aren’t on the list but I still watch. There are also certain Disney films/shorts that are Christmas themed and I love to watch (Mickey’s Christmas Carol, Olaf’s Frozen Adventure, Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas etc). Do any of these movies make it onto your watch list? Let me know!

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
