It Was Christmas Eve, Babe... - Christmas Eve 2014!

Hi!!!

Today, it's Christmas Eve but hopefully you knew that already! I always enjoy Christmas Eve as a day on the whole and wanted to share some of my thoughts with you.

Christmas Eve, in my family, is a day spent relaxing. 

I'll be baking some muffins for my family to eat on Christmas morning and I might bake a few more things - we'll have to see! 

I'm spending my day festively attired in a big ol' Christmas jumper and will be laying the table, making a start on lots of the food with my Mom and my Uncle B (we are the Christmas dinner DREAM TEAM! Repeat DREAM TEAM!). 

I will be also be taking some time out for myself. I will be enjoying some pampering but I have no idea which products to use yet - there are so many to chose from! Although, I do know that no matter what products I chose, it'll be lovely to have a pamper evening - I've not had one in a while. I'll be trying some festive nail art, too, so cross your fingers that it looks how I want it to! 

Then there's the traditional Christmas Eve film, as I am sure you are aware of by now. We normally only watch two or three films but this year I have upped the anti and the Sky Planner (other TV thingys are available) is full of all our favourite Christmas films like Nativity!, Love Actually and Miracle on 34th Street (90s with Mara Wilson) as well as the Snowman (with or without Snowdog) which will be on TV. It'll be an awesome back to back movie night with a little stop round at my bestest friend Elf Girl's house, too. It's all going to be lots of fun. 

I'm so excited for tomorrow, and I hope you are too. There is nothing better than Christmas!!! There's a special magic in the air this year, I think and it is making me so happy. I love Christmas and can't wait for the big day!

I love my Christmas Eve activities, and I find it such a relaxing day. I hope you all have lovely days and evenings whatever you get up to.

Do you have anything planned for today? Do you have a special Christmas Eve film ready to watch? What is it? Are you as excited for tomorrow as me?!? Do you have any comments or suggestions for future posts? Let me know in the comments below.

I will speak to you all tomorrow! In the meantime, have a lovely day and I hope that Father Christmas pays a visit to you all tonight! x

Have an excellent day, everybody!

It Was Christmas Eve, Babe... - Christmas Eve 2013.

Hi!!!

Today, it's Christmas Eve. I'm going to give you credit for the fact you probably know that already. I always enjoy Christmas Eve.

Christmas Eve is spent relaxing. Today, I'll be baking with my mom. We'll be making some gingerbread and some muffins for tomorrow morning's breakfast. I'll also be delivering some of my bakes to my family, so that they can enjoy a festive breakfast tomorrow too, before we all meet up for lunch.

 

A bit of a no picture "Outfit Of The Day".
 I've bought a new jumper for Chrisymas Eve, it's a black jumper from New Look with a Gingerbread Man in a Father Christmas hat, and I bought some Gingerbread Man earrings from Claire's. I don't have pierced ears, so mine are clip on's. If you do, however, have pierced ears, they do have a lovely selection of festive earrings for you, too.
Link to the jumper (HERE), and link to the earrings (HERE) - sadly, I could only find the version for pierced ears on the site, but check in store if you're interested.

I will be also be taking some time out for myself. I will be enjoying some pampering, to see the kind of products I will be using see (THIS) post. I might also use something from Lush, but will definitely use something from The Body Shop. Every year, as is tradition for me, I have a pamper evening, and I always look forward to it.

Then there's the traditional Christmas Eve film. We watch The Snowman (with or without the Snowdog - that's Channel 4's decision), and then I select a film to watch. This year, I'm considering Miracle On 34th Street - the 90's version with Mara Wilson - or Nativity! - because I love that film so much, it's so funny and Mr Poppy is an absolute legend! From there, it's goodnights and off to sleep, in my Christmas Eve pyjamas. They are red silk pyjamas with dainty silver hearts on them and I only wear them on Christmas Eve and Day. 

I'm so excited for tomorrow, I can hardly contain myself! There is nothing better than Christmas! 

I love my Christmas Eve activities, and I find it such a relaxing day. I hope you all have lovely days and I will speak to you all tomorrow. 

Have a wonderful day, everybody!
