Post-Christmas Post


Hey guys!


So, Christmas Day has been and gone...it's funny how there is so much build up for just one day and then it's over like that *clicks fingers*. Christmas was great this year. I went to a hotel in the countryside with my close family. Fortunately, it was only an hour away so we didn't have to travel far. The food was great (I had roast turkey for Christmas dinner, as usual) and we went for a lovely walk around the grounds. I only wish that I had brought my camera along with me...who knows, maybe I'll go back to the hotel one day in the future and I'll be able to take photos then...


I don't usually do this, but I thought that I might as well share some of the presents I got for Christmas. Really, it's just an excuse to take photos!!





 





 
 

 
 
 


 
I love Spanish food! It's so delicious! Tapas are so great! I will definitely be making a lot of Spanish food this year!!!
 
 
 


 
I now have enough sweet / chocolate things to last the year!!!
 
 
What did you get for Christmas? Did you get a selfie stick?!?! I think that was probably the most common present this Christmas!!!
 
 
 
 
This week I also went to Oxford Street to take some photos. It was so packed and I was getting very cold being outside so I didn't really get many photos. I'm planning to go back before I return to York so that I can get some photos of Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park.

Christmas films


Hey guys!


As you can tell from the title, this post is another Christmas post. Bored of them yet?

Is anyone else feeling really, really, really cold? I'm finding it so hard to use my hands! I'm glad that when I go back to London there will be virtually constant heating in the house and possibly even a fire, if I'm lucky. I wish I could get out my transporter and spend a few hours in Australia...Unfortunately, I don't have a transporter. Obviously.


Anyway, today I will be sharing my favourite Christmas films with you.


1. Gremlins





I love this film. I'm pretty sure I watch it almost every Christmas. Gremlins are just SO CUTE...well, for a while anyway, then they turn into this:

Not nice, not nice at all.


2. Home Alone

One of my favourite films of all time. Home Alone is very funny. If you haven't seen it yet (seriously, where have you been?!?!), then I suggest you watch it this Christmas. It's a great laugh for any age.





























3. Frozen


I watched this film over half a year ago and I am still singing Let It Go almost EVERY DAY (I'm actually listening to it right now). It is such a catchy song. I didn't watch this over Christmas but it's definitely a good film to watch around Christmas because of the snow and ice...plus it's great to watch as a family.























4. Love Actually
























Love Actually is a classic Christmas film. It stars Keira Knightly, Rowan Atkinson, Emma Thompson, Hugh Grant and Colin Firth, amongst many other famous actors and actresses.















What are your favourite films to watch at Christmas? Do you like any of the ones above?


Hasta luego!
