BLOGMAS DAY THIRTEEN: CHRISTMAS TRADITIONS & NEW YEARS ASPIRATIONS!

Heya guys, so for today's post, there's going to be two posts in one as on day eleven my post didn't upload. I hope you enjoy!

Christmas Traditions

CHRISTMAS EVE: 

On Christmas Eve I don't really do much, my mum's usually working s me and my sister will most probably go to my grandparents. Whilst we're there we'll spend the day baking mince pies and sausage rolls with the rest of my family and watching Christmas films or listening to Christmas music - so fun! At about 6 o'clock once my Grandad has gone to work and everyone else has gone home, me, my sister and my grandma walk into town and meet my mum when she has finished work. When we've met up with her, we all go for a hot chocolate in Costa! We then head home, hang up our sacks, leave out some carrots and milk for the reindeers and cherry and cookies for Father Christmas then jump into bed uncharacteristically early! I stay awake until about one ish though as I'm always over excited for Christmas - who isn't?!

CHRISTMAS DAY:

Each year, Christmas is held at a different member of the family's house - last year we hosted Christmas Day (we being me, my sister and my mum) so this year my grandparents are hosting it! I wake up at 6 am, probably earlier then me and my sister go and wake up my mum. We then go sit on my mums bed with our sacks from Santa and open them!

After we've done this we all go downstairs and open our presents from one and other. We then have breakfast and watch a film or Frasier or something like that. We'll then tidy everything up and get ready to go out! Once we're all ready we'll head off!

At my Grandparents house once everyone has arrived, we start opening presents! Then we'll have our Christmas dinner and settle down to play games whilst watching Christmas films and TV! After the Doctor Who Christmas Special has finished everyone goes home to settle down there. Once home we'll watch more Christmas TV, look through our presents and stuff our faces!

So that's my Christmas traditions, what's yours? Tell us in the comments!

New Year's Aspirations 

For next year I don't have many resolutions or aspirations, mainly I want to do well in my GCSE's and I want to make this blog bigger! I would also like to be happier and to have a more positive outlook on life!

So I really don't have many aspirations, but those are the ones I have. What are yours?

Thanks for reading!

BLOGMAS DAY TEN: CHRISTMAS TRADITIONS!

HEY! So, for this post its is going to be about our families Christmas traditions! I know I did a post called 'the greatest time of the year' and that did indeed contain a lot of my families Christmas traditions but oh well! I'll do another one, and I can elaborate on it!

CHRISTMAS EVE:

Now, this only started when I moved in with my Dad, we would go to the Pantomime (Princess Theatre) with my Step-Mum's school, they would also give us a polythene bag filled with: Sweets, Chocolate and Drinks. I loved it! Last year My Granddad was back in the country (He lives in Hawaii) So I went to my Mum's for Christmas, this year, the tradition will be no more, as we aren't going to go anymore!

Also, on Christmas Eve we have a big buffet for tea, like HUGE! With all of the left overs (Wait, as I'm there, there's like no leftovers, whoops!), okay so, with the little leftovers there are, we save until CHRISTMAS DAY!

CHRISTMAS DAY:

On Christmas Day, we all play board games! Well, apart from my Step-Mum, she's off cooking me a mean turkey, mmm. We usually play Monopoly, which is like the longest board-game ever! I'm always accused of cheating, by stealing the money from the bank! even though I don't! PROMISE!

We also bring the WII up stairs, to play Mario Kart and I'm not going to lie, I'm pro! Okay, that might be a lie, but there was a point where I was pretty pro at it! Let's see how it goes this year eh?

All four of us girls, go into my parents' room and sit around the bed, which is far to small for six of us! So only like four of us can fit! We then open our stocking presents and mentally praise Santa (Do you guys believe in him? (I only do so I get presents!))

After we open our presents, us four girls drag our stockings out and go down stairs, with the tree lights on, we the switch on the music channels, and listen to those endless Christmas play lists, we then make our parents' tea and wait till like 9 before they get out of bed and we can open our presents, one by one!

So those are a few of my families Christmas traditions, I'm pretty sure there are more over on my 'Greatest time of all' post, so if you want to know more, go and check it out if you fancy? Don't forget to tell us your Christmas Traditions in the comments, or using the #loveandotherramblings on Twitter! YAY!
