Yes we are in December, and bought another Christmas present and is getting nearer, and its going to be a quiet one, and really looking forward to it. First of all I like to have a day decorating and gradually gettting things together, and this includes, preseents, food, drink and decor.
I like to check out Charity shops, and look online as Amazon can be a great place to find goodies, and gifts and budgeting, so I don't over spend but have what I need. I budget per person and per presents, along with food and drink. I am lucky in that I do have others who contribute so I don't have to spend too much, and if you children, set them a budget to buy gifts and then remember they have to be given to Santa and make sure they have been good and not naughty.
I keep my Christmas wrapping paper, for the next year and depending on the gift use tissue paper and gift bags. It depends on the gift, and the size of the present.
I like to spending with family and go to a Pantomime, have Advocat and Lemonade. I have to have mince pies, and would like to make my own, and making cakes and have things that I don't have everyday. Like Turkey and Pigs n Blankets.
Watching Christmas specials, and films. My favourite film is Polar express, and is my son's faovourite along with the Grinch. I like the old ones like, A Christmas Carole, The Snowman, and listening to festivef music.
I love going for a walk on Christmas day and wearing a Christmas jumper or outfit, to celebrate and just having a relaxing day.
It should be about spending it with people you lovem and who don't get to see any other time of the year and going away too. One year I booked a holday to Florida and it was so good to do something different and it was so nice being flip flops on boxing day and went to Universal Studios and was so magical and would do that again.
