All Things Christmassy...

Its that time of year again,

With only three days left before christmas I am certainly embracing all of the festive cheer and here are some of my all time christmas favourites:

I love hot chocolate all year round but at christmas time gives me an excuse to drink it all year round. In the mornings especially I love making mochas to help wake me up, I always fine a spoon of instant coffee, hot chocolate, sugar then half milk half hot water always does the trick for me :D

Most christmas around the second week of christmas my sisters and I trek to Sainsbury's and buy all the ingredients for Mary Berry's amazing gingerbread house. Normally my eldest sister takes charge and just makes the whole thing but my favourite part is piping the icing all around the roof and placing santa in the chimney at the  very end, even though we never eat the gingerbread house except eating the mixture, because after christmas the gingerbread biscuit and icing have both gone rock hard so we all end up picking the chocolate buttons off and leaving the bare house standing

Normally I manage to wait till December the 1st but this year I just couldn't resist watching Nativity towards the end of November, but I am not the kind of person who can watch a christmas movie any other time of the year. Some of my favourite christmas movies are love actually, Nativity, Arthur Christmas, The grinch, elf and The holiday though I will watch any christmas movie at this time of year to get me in the festive feeling!

My last thing I love this time of year is just the family being together, for me Christmas time is one of the only times of year that all my family comes together and is willing to play board games and watch movies together, my dad takes time off work and my sister comes home from uni. This time always seem cheery with Christmas songs, cutting down the tree and trips out shopping.
