On the first day of Christmas
My boyfriend’s mum proved you can never be too old for an advent calendar by buying these for us.
Interestingly both films featured in my 10 Films I Haven’t Seen post (here) last week, but that doesn’t detract at all from them being pretty much the coolest advent calendars I’ve ever seen. Or maybe this is fate’s way of intervening? A gentle shove towards watching them perhaps. In any case, marvellous.
On the second day of Christmas
I bought this bloody AMAZING T-shirt. You know how sometimes you don’t even bother looking at the price tag? You see something and just think – I NEED THAT. Well this was one of those moments. And it was only £8 anyway (I was in Asda – which explains my cavalier attitude to the price in the first place). Come on though, how cool?!!!!
On the third day of Christmas
I had the day off work and decided to put up my Christmas tree and decorations.
Most of my decorations are from cheap shops like Pound Stretcher or Wilko (tight Brits will be nodding their heads in recognition) but I do have a few that are slightly more special.
Like I love these cute birds!
And the “Emma” ball was a present I received last year. I’ve had the gorgeous Ariel ornament for over a decade. Speaking of which did I tell you how I cried watching The Little Mermaid for the zillionth time last weekend?
Aside from the tree that’s probably too big for my living room, I was pretty pleased with my mini bookshelf display. The carousel is actually a biscuit tin (I’m thrifty okay?) but it does play a tune if you spin it round so hopefully it’s more decoration territory than kitchen utensil. And the cute Robin is a broken tree decoration (okay, I’m really thrifty).
And the penguins flash different colours! I’m a big kid really.
On the fourth day of Christmas (today)
Nothing really happened but it’s Friday so I’m grateful for that. Oh and I did listen to this in the car this morning…

That is a cool shirt EmmmKay! I love that you really get into Christmas. Personally I don’t but your enthusiasm is infectious!
So long as I can watch Home Alone I’m good!!! 🙂 How are you Jordy?
I’m okay, had my house broken into while I was home, which shook me up a bit… I haven’t written a word since it happened =/
Oh god I’m so sorry to hear than Jordan, how are you?? That seriously sucks, i can only imagine how you’re feeling 😦 oh i wish i could help!!!!!! How are you???
I’m okay but it shook me up enough that I haven’t written a word since it happened, which kinda sucks. I’m trying something now, fingers crossed!
Think of it as therapeutic? You don’t have to post if you don’t want to, but try to write something if you can! 🙂
Hope you’re okay my friend, happy new year.
I’m fine 🙂 just frustrated. My doctor suggested writing about it, or fictionalising it somehow, cos the whole thing is repeating itself in my head anyway. I think that is a good idea, I probably should start now
Definitely! Writing about the experience may make it easier to move on? Have you written anything yet? I’m sending my love Jordy 🙂
Finally wrote something today. Almost a month in between posts, bleh
That’s okay Jordan! You write when you can and don’t worry 🙂 I’m hideously lazy myself at times…!
Right, I’ll check it out 🙂
