Can you believe we are already on Day 24 of Blogmas? And that tomorrow is Christmas? As Blogmas and the holidays start wrapping up, it's time to start thinking about the New Year. One of the best things about the New Year is the fact that it is a fresh start. New Year, new you, am I right? Now it's...

One of the most popular Blogmas posts to do is The Christmas Tag. Within the past three years of participating in Blogmas, I have not done it once. I typically like to make guides and generic information posts for Blogmas, and the tag always seemed really personal. But this year, I was one Blogmas...

When Christmas comes to mind, the first thought you have is spending time with your family and carrying out your annual traditions. But for some people the holidays can be a really lonely time of the year. Maybe they don't have a big family or maybe they don't celebrate the holiday. There are so many...

With only 10 days left in the year, New Years is right around the corner. It has me thinking about what 2018 had to offer. There were some highs and there were some lows. Some goals were accomplished and others were not entirely met. Some lessons have been learned and growth has occurred. 2018, you...

When the holiday season rolls around all the popular Christmas movies play constantly on loop. But how often do movie theaters play some of these popular holiday films? Not since the year they came out right? That's what I thought until I found out my local movie theater, Harkins, shows some throwback...

Whenever this time of the year rolls around, the talk of holiday traditions comes up. But what makes a tradition a tradition? Tradition is defined as an inherited, established, or customary pattern of thought, action, or behavior. Most of the time, traditions are set by families and are passed down...

Every year, I always go to Disneyland around this time of the year to view the holiday decorations and partake in the festivities. But this year, I decided to mix it up and go to another theme park in Southern California and see what their Christmas season is like. I was lucky enough to go to Knott's...

Sending out Christmas cards is a timeless tradition. Some families send them out throughout the month and others buy cards to pair with a gift. Sending out a Christmas card during this time of the year is a little thing you can do to show your friends and family members that you are thinking about...

One of the main holiday traditions in my household is having a different themed Christmas Tree every year. My mom has done this all throughout my life, for as long as I can remember. We've had everything from a Barbie themed tree to a Disney themed tree. There have been so many themes, it is nearly...

Last year, I wrote a Blogmas post about the Hallmark Christmas Movie Formula. In short, every holiday Hallmark movie is the same. This has become a well known fact, and has led to the creation of the Hallmark Christmas Drinking Game. And today, I'm going to play it. The movie I have chosen to watch...

Congratulations! We've done it! We've survived the first two weeks of Blogmas. If you're participating in Blogmas, you're probably tired and running out of ideas. If you are having zero problems during this Blogmas and are on fire with these posts, well you are very lucky. Writer's block, especially...

As time goes on and on, climate change gets worse. Let's face it, our planet is dying. So why not do something good this holiday season and give out some eco friendly gifts? Whether you're shopping for a family member who doesn't believe in climate change or a friend who is living their best green...

When Christmas comes around, there's one question that is always asked. Have you been naughty or nice this year? Santa sees everything, like it says in the song, he sees when you're sleeping and he knows when you're awake, he knows if you've been bad or good. So have we all been good for goodness sake? Let's...

One place that always goes all out during the holidays is Disneyland. On November 9th, Disney's Festival of Holidays returned to the California Adventure park in Anaheim. The Festival has two main attractions the marketplace and the entertainment. You will find a variety of dance, live music and a...

Shopping for presents during the holiday season is one of the most stressful things about this time of the year. It can be even more difficult if you have no idea what to get someone. Whether you're stuck on what to give your mom or the person you barely know in your workplace gift exchange, follow...

One of the most popular holiday traditions is the daily unveiling of an Advent Calendar. Every year, Advent Calendars seem to get more and more popular. Today, companies make all sorts of Advent Calendars. You have your traditional paper ones, your beauty ones, your candy ones, and even some have been...

It certainly doesn't feel like the holidays until I've ordered a holiday beverage from Starbucks. This year, Starbucks unveiled their holiday cups and beverages on November 2, just about a week earlier than last year. So by this notion, does that mean the holiday season officially starts in November...

Hello everyone! Can you believe it? We've made it through the first week of Blogmas! Woo hoo! It's been fun to write up these holiday themed posts and see what others have come up with so far. So for today's post, I'm going to share some of the things I would love to receive this holiday. I have a...

December is one of the most romantic months out there. Sure, February gets a lot of the romance credit because of Valentine's Day but think about it, Christmas and holiday romances are a thing. There have been so many movies made about winter romances. Winter brings colder weather and longer nights,...

One of my favorite things about the holidays is all of the festive scents! Tons of beauty companies come out with so many holiday scented products during this time of the year. Stepping into Bath & Body Works and all the other beauty shops this time of the year is absolute heaven. However, for...
