Blogmas - Day 6 - Christmas Cheer

Source: WeHeartIt

Christmas is the time for people to 'want' to feel happy. Even though it's just like any other day, the only difference being the lights and decor are up in peoples homes and all over the streets and everyone is out and about buying presents. For some reason we can't help but join the exciting atmosphere. Even though presents isn't what Christmas is about, it certainly gets the community coming together in the merriment.

Hey, I love buying for people but I too like it when I buy a new boxset or some beauty products from Lush just all for meeeeee.

Even if we've had a bad year or nothing as good as we expected we hope and pray that our Christmas will be filled with fun. When we're happy we become more sociable, flexible for time and a lot more energetic. And yes Christmas would be the best time to be all of these things

In all honesty it's a lot better off that Christmas festivities, like lights and Christmas drinks such as eggnog and specialised hot chocolates are just a once off in the year, otherwise we'd be bored pretty much all of the 365 days of the year. Easter I do love because the main thing is chocolate! Having an occasion based on my favourite food/sweet item... YAAAAS!!

I usually am a lot happier during Christmas and I find that so because it's all to do with the merriment being rubbed off on me from another person. My mum is the one in our family who shares the Christmas cheer. Even though she is perhaps one of the most happiest of people that I know, she still get's giddy like a child over Christmas. She excels! She still buys gifts for me, Dad and my brother saying 'from Santa'.

So it's her that really influences me during the holidays. As a child with living with my granny, I'd go up to visit my mum and brother and I'd still be so excited for Christmas. Mum always brought me to see Santa and she'd be so excited! My brother on the other hand was always afraid of the strange man who resembled Dumbledore. He'd roar, which was nothing like him. In our family everyone knows how he didn't give a proper conversation until he was 8 hahahaha!!!

Let me know who/ where/ what influences make your Christmas cheerful for you?

30 Day Snap #6 | Chilling out in the garden

I woke up with having swollen glands, Yay!

It was such a beautiful day with having the heat at 24 degrees.

So I decided after a bath and face mask, to lie out in the sunshine, with my medicine, my diary, travelling journal, Barry M nail polish.

I used to detest the planes going by everyday, making me homesick, but hey just 17 day till I'm flying back to Ireland.

I hung out the washing and laid down on a mat, just playing my guitar. I kept checking my watch to be sure I was on time for work. Ooh, and I was wearing my River Island shorts cos I've lost the lovely tan. Sad times, sad times!

My uncles garden is lovely to look at. He keeps it maintained very well. I love seeing the roses out and the red petals laid across the gravel. I love the two colours together. He grows his own herbs at the back. And he hopes one day to have his own chickens, Heehee, randomly enough.

Anyway, even though my face was as large as a bull, I got to have a relaxing day out in the sunshine, enjoying the nature around me. We were so blessed to have it.

I hope you too are enjoying the weather. Anything nice you've been up to?
