December is obviously one of my favourite times of year, what with the bustle of Christmas and the festive spirit that is so prevalent in us all. Of course, it is also the craziest, busiest, and most wonderful time of year 😉 I’d thought I’d share some of what I want to get up to with you all!
There are a couple of things that I wanted to be sure to do this year, considering I didn’t get to do them last Christmas season. First off, stockings. My family haven’t actually done these for a couple of years, and I think it would be so fun to get some stocking stuffers for us all and bring this little tradition back. We actually tend to save our stockings for after Christmas, so there’s still something to look forward to after the big day has come and gone.
Christmas Tree Lane is this gorgeous drive/walk here in my hometown. A street of beautiful homes go all out with their lights & external decorations, and when I say all out, I mean ALL OUT. Hopefully, when I go, I’ll get some great pictures to be able to provide a glimpse of just how fantastic some of the setups are. I usually go on a drive through here with my family, and I walk through it with a group of friends. There’s an equivalent of this in another town nearby, called Candy Cane Lane, and it’s equally fun & so so festive.
I’m already a few days late, but I so want to get a little Advent calendar. I’ve been wanting one for literally years & have never gotten around to picking one up SMH! I’ll happily take a little chocolate one at this point :’)
I want to try and get my Christmas shopping done well before the middle of the month. I do actually like to save the wrapping & all that for a few days before Christmas because I feel like it’s the best time to do it, but that’s just me.
I also need to be sure to actually send out my Christmas cards this year, and I need to do that fairly early in the month.
I’m excited for this last one: I’ve never ever gotten around to watching the 12 Days of the Adventurous Adventures of One Direction by the iconic Mark Parsons on YouTube. I am determined to do so this year lol :’) Worst case scenario, this can be my little advent calendar haha!
Thank you for reading! What exciting plans do you have for the month of December?!
