Today I am writing a post of ten things I want to do this Christmas. I have written these sorts of posts before such as my things to do this summer and things to do this autumn posts. I love writing these lists as I think it makes you fit more into the season and means that you have more things to look forward to. I know there are certain things that people do each year such as put up the tree or write Christmas cards so they won't be going onto my list.
1) Build a ginger bread house
2) Bake mince pies
3) Watch 5 Christmas films
4) Play board games
5) Read all my Christmas themed books I've had for the last 3 years
6) Fill a stocking full of presents for my boyfriend
7) Do something nice for charity (see my Post Pals post here)
8) Think up blogging goals for 2016. I will publish these in January.
9) Go Tobogganing, Adrenalin Tubing or Ice Skating.
10) Visit Birmingham Christmas Markets again!
I think I am most looking forward to doing some festive baking and decorating the gingerbread house! I'm planning to do this on Saturday so hopefully a post will go up soon with photo's of the finished house. I also can't wait to get started on reading some of the books I have that are Christmas themed. I buy them every year and then forget about them and find them again once the festive season is over but this year I am determined to read them! I might spend my Sunday curled up with blankets, hot chocolate and a book.
What is on your list of things to do this festive season? Let me know in the comments section below!
I'm glad I'm not the only one who insists on reading Christmas books! I love Christmas chick lit and I'm reading Karen Swan's Christmas on Primrose Hill at the moment :) And I've done something nice for charity too - I did a shoebox for the Leeds appeal for the homeless :) Seems our Christmas to-do lists have a lot in common this year! xx
ReplyDeleteI love Christmas chick lit too! I think I actually have that book in my to-read pile! I must get started on some! They definitely do xx
