Advent begins!

It’s that time of year again! Advent has begun! Christmas is coming, the decorations and lights are all thinking away and everything has gone all cozy! 

Anyone else excited for Christmas? What’s on your Christmas list? How will you spend Christmas? 

For me I get a little mini Christmas as my birthday is during advent so when I get my presents I put them under the tree as well.

  • Aw that’s so lovely that you get to put your birthday gifts under the tree as well. What are you hoping to get for your birthday?

    I’m excited but not excited if that makes sense. I’m excited because everything looks and feels festive, decorations are up, Xmas music is playing.. I can wear my Xmas jumper without people giving me looks like they do when it’s summer. But town is busier now, people are everywhere and it’s noisy. This is the part of it I don’t like. But luckily I’ve been able to do most of my Xmas shopping online so I haven’t had to brave the crowded shops too much.

    For Xmas I’m hoping to get some new paints as I do a lot of painting and my supplies are running a bit low.. Some new brushes would be nice too.

    I'm hoping to be home for Xmas but I don't know how possible it'll be as I'm working away at the moment. That will be a bit rough but I’m grateful I can whatsapp my family so we can at least keep in touch over the festive period. But keeping my fingers crossed that I can be home by Xmas Eve.

  • Aww I hope you will be home for xmas but thats the beauty of wats app I guess. Think my mum will be wats sapping me as well. I’ll get my presents on Christmas Eve I think then I have to keep sending pics to prove I haven’t opened any presents until Christmas Day and when I say Christmas Day, I have to wait until like 8am, can’t open on midnight lol! I’m hoping to get a make up brush cleaner, some nintendo stuff, skin care stuff, the usual really lol! 

    I completely get that about the crowds. My parents have found that doing shopping after tea time seems to be a good time as it’s quieter and the shelves still seem to be stocked up. I only really like going out of a night and driving around to see the lights.

    My birthday was last Friday but yes I got to put the presents under the tree so it was a nice little early Christmas lol! I got some Laura geller make up and a lava lamp, also got a few sims 4 expansion packs too! 

    It’s only 13 days till Christmas!!
