Moments that Make Christmas the Best

Hey guys!

So its officially a week to Christmas, ahhhh!!! Here is what I believe makes Christmas the best.

1. Taking the Christmas decorations out of the attic and decorating the Christmas tree with baubles that have a meaning and putting the Angel up which my Nan got me when I was a baby.
2. Eating a box of Celebrations and Heroes early in the morning and not giving a damn.
3. Not having the main lights on around the house yet having all fairy lights on - the spotlights of blue, purple, green and red still have me gazing in delight.
4. Playing constant Christmas songs as soon as it hits December 1st. - make sure to keep your eyes peeled for my Top Christmas Songs.
5. Advent calendars... who can say no to chocolate? Especially with a hot cuppa on these chilly mornings.
6. Non stop Christmas films - make sure to keep your eyes peeled for my Top Christmas Films
7. Instagramming all the cute and Christmassy decorations - from the tree, to baubles to family nights in.
8. Changing your bedding on Christmas Eve and putting on some new festive PJ's - Like come on putting fresh bedding and fresh PJ's is always the best (especially after a night out of drinking excessively) but there's that extra feeling of happiness when you do it on Christmas Eve.
9. Seeing all the Christmas adverts - from John Lewis, Debnhams, Sainsburys, Boots to Marks and Spencers. But also this year ITV and BBC have pulled it out of the bag too. But I have got to say I do still love the Sainsburys advert from 2014 with the army and John Lewis' 2013 with the bear & hare and their 2015 advert with the man on the moon. *UPDATE - And omg I am loving the Sky Cinema Christmas advert with the mother and daughter and their traditional watching of Sound of The Music.*
10. Coca Cola truck is HERE and so is the advert.
11. Going to your city's lights switch on and christmas markets.
12. Strolling up and down the Christmas aisle in all the supermarkets when doing your weekly shop and falling for all the deals including the Terry's Chocolate Orange.
13. Full fridge + constant cuppas + central heating + candles lit = BONUS.
14. Waking up on Christmas Day at 6am and being sent back to bed.
15. Then waking up at 10am to a bacon butty and a cuppa before opening the presents.
16...Then going back into the kitchen no more than 2 hours later to be hit by the smell of roast potatoes and the turkey.
17. Not being able to see the floor for a good few hours because of the mountain of wrapping paper.

TV Shows & Films I Have Been Loving

Hey guys,

So there has been a lot of really good TV and film shows lately and binge watching an entire show is one of my favourite things to do.

1. Doctor Foster

Yes...I am late getting into this show. I seen the second season getting advertised but thought it was too late to get into it. But then I came across the first season on Netflix. It is about a Doctor who believes her husband is cheating and therefore finds out more about her life.

2. The Notebook

This one of my favourite films ever, it's such a beautiful romance story. It is beautifully portrayed by Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams. It is based on Nicholas Sparks book and is about a young couple who fall in love in the 1940s. However, the boy, Noah, is a mill worker whereas the girl, Allie, is rich, therefore her parents don't approve.

3. 13 Going on 30

I've only just seen this film on Netflix and oh my goodness it's so good. It is about a 13 year old girl, Jenna, who is sick of high school and prays to become "30, flirty and thriving." Her dream becomes a reality and realises she isn't ready for it.

4. Power

Okay...this came out in 2014 but I've only just gotten around to watching it. I completely binge watched all of the seasons and so excited for the next season next year. Its about gangsters and drugs. At times it can be grimy but it is so good. The producer and one of the actor's is 50 Cent and is based on a nightclub owner who has everything; a wife, kids, a penthouse, club owner and power. However, he lives on the edge with his own drug empire.

5. 10 Things I Hate About You

This will always be one of my favourites. I used to be obsessed with Heath Ledger when I was a kid and I loved Julia Stiles in Save the Last Dance. Its about a teenage girl, Kat, is quite abrasive compared to other teenagers, which leads to everyone being scared of her. Her younger sister isn't allowed to date until Kat starts dating. This results to her sister pulling strings to get Kat a boyfriend.

6. Riverdale

This is currently one of my favourite Netflix series. It's hard to explain this show, but its about a mystery of a missing/dead popular high school student. It's easily become one of my favourite series; theres currently 2 seasons and they release an episode every Thursday.

7. Shadowhunters: The Mortal Instruments

I've just finished getting up-to-date on this action filled Netflix original. It is based on the popular film, The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones, which is based on books by Cassandra Clare. It is about a girl, Clary, who once turns 18 and discovers her life was a lie/secret. She comes from a long line of human-angel hybrids, called Shadowhunters, who protect humans and hunt down demons. Her mother is kidnapped before she could be told the truth about her life so is therefore thrown into this crazy world. It is filled with creatures such as; vampires, werewolves and warlocks.

8. The Sinner

I wasn't sure whether or not to include this as I am only a few episodes in but I am thoroughly enjoying this thriller. It starts with a young mother, Cora, and she seems emotional distressed and when she goes to the beach with her family she decides to drown herself; however fails. A while later (still on the beach) she sees some lad and out of nowhere she publicly stabs him to death, with no explanation as to why. It's an 8 episode series in which the detectives try and work out why she did what she did and try and dig into her past. Cora is played fantastically by Jessica Biel.

9. Ghosts of Girlfriend's Past

I watched this film years ago and completely forgotten about it, to be honest. However, it has just been recently added to Netflix and I have watched it several times, so it needs to be added to this list. It is about a photographer called Connor who doesn't do commitment but just has numerous relationships with multiple girls. He receives a visit from 3 ghosts; past, present and future, who take him on an adventure through his failed relationship to help him ind out what made him become the man he is and helping him find hope for true love.

10. Star Wars

Okay...I am a massive nerd when it comes to Star Wars, especially when I was a child. I changed my surname, so I was married to Anakin Skywalker and then my second word was JarJar and I had the JarJar Binks backpack. I'm still a huge fan now and decided to involve this in this list as the next movie comes out in 2 days. Eeeek so exciting...
