Things to do for Christmas
It's the 1st November, we all know what that means... IT'S ALMOST CHRISTMAS!!!! *ahhhhhhh*
As I have said time and time again, Christmas and Winter are my favourite things to look forward to and when it comes to this time of year, I have so much in mind that you could do. So I' going to share these ideas with you so you too can make your Christmas magical and the best it can be!! If you have younger children in the family I'm very sure they will love to all of these too!!
1. Visit a winter wonderland/Santa's Grotto
This is just a magical experience in it's self. Tweddle Farm I have just visited in one of my last posts, they do a Winter Wonderland experience with fake snow and reindeer with a Santa's Grotto walk way and it's just magical. Good for the children or big kids too.
2. Christmas Markets
Everyone has to love a good Christmas Market!! With all the Christmas smells and all the lights and decorations. It's amazing!! I'm hoping to go to two this year at York and Durham. I know there are plenty happening up and down the country, If there is a one close to you I highly recommend you go!!
3. Trip to the Panto
Pantomimes are Brilliant!! *oh there not* oh yes they are!! (Sorry I couldn't resit it hahaha) I haven't been to a Panto in quite a while. The last one I went to see was peter pan and I'm hoping to try and get to another one this year. But it is fun for all the family not just the children.
4. Cooking Christmas Cookies/Cakes
This is one activity I am going to be doing very soon!! and there will be a blog post on it obviously!! Ginger bread men, Snowmen marshmallows, reindeer cakes you name it, you could probably make it!! On my Pintrest I have lots of Christmas food related posts pinned go check it out!
5. Christmas meal out
One year I went out for a Christmas meal with Friends and Family and the pub we were at had a Christmas sing along it was great!!
6. Christmas film day/night
Cuddled up on the sofa in front of the fire, Drinking hot chocolate and eating sweets and Christmas related foods. This would be a perfect night in. Don't forget the Christmas candles!!!
7. Walks in the snow
Obviously you can only do this if it actually snows *fingers crossed* Taking a sledge out with you too and building snow men having a snow ball fight. Act like big kids really.
8. Visit the CocaCola Truck
When the CocaCola advert comes on the Tv you know Christmas is almost here!! So why not go and visit the CocaCola truck in real life? I did one year and it was great! It tours around the UK and the dates and places are on their website I think.
9. Making Home made decorations
Our local Library do this every year. One year I made a wreath for the front door. But it did die because we used real holly and outside things, but it was great fun. We also made little Rudolph decorations which I still have. But you can still do all of this at home, I'm sure there are a lot of activities on Pintrest.
10. Decorating the house with Christmas colours and smells
It's always good to be able to decorate your home with Christmas things. Warm colours such as red and golds make it feel so Christmassy and having candles that smell like Christmas too. This is probably one of my favourite things to do. While you're doing this, play some festive songs, it's always a great idea.
These are my top ten things to do. I could probably think of more when I'm not trying to think of them, if you get me? But I hope this has gave you some ideas of what you could do the lead up to Christmas as now it is just around the corner.
It can be a stressful time of year but if you don't think about the stressful side and just have fun and make it Christmassy and the stress will go away. I just can't wait for Christmas!!!
I hope you have all had a great weekend!!

My Top Ten Disney Films
You should all know by now that I have a massive love for Disney!! I could have a Disney quote or a song for almost everything!!
Usually every Sunday I will watch a variety of Disney films because that's what Sunday's are made of... Being lazy, staying in bed and cuddling up watching Disney films. Since it's the weekend and Sunday is approaching, why not share with you my Top Ten Disney Films.
1)Beauty and The Beast
2)Tangled
3)Lilo and Stich
4)Bambi
5)Frozen
6)Monsters Inc
7)Peter Pan (Non animated)
8)Lion King
9)Aladdin
10)Toy Story
I can honestly tell you that, that was the hardest list I have probably done I love every single Disney Film but why on earth did I have to do a Top Ten hahaha!!
But I love all of these films the characters and music are brilliant in these films and I think these are probably my all time favourite Disney Films. If you haven't seen any of these then you really need to, but hopefully you have seen them because that wouldn't be normal!! Let me know your thoughts on these films.
Fun fact: When Frozen first got released I thought it was really annoying with the songs and it was really over-rated but when I seen it for the first time, I fell in love with it instantly!!! Have you ever thought like this about a film?
I hope you enjoyed this post and watch these films soon because they are brilliant!!
Have a great weekend!
