Hello You Lovely Lot!

I actually can't believe it's only one month till Christmas. How did we get this far this fast? I remember my birthday like it was yesterday. Christmas is one of my favourite times of the year and I honestly can't wait but it just seems like it's coming up so fast.

It's only two weeks until I go back to Nottingham for Christmas and I feel like I only just got here and it's totally crazy. I'm up to my ears in work and Vlogmas and Blogmas and the days just seem to be flying by. Don't get me wrong, I can't wait to go home for more than four days at time but it just seems so weird that I'm nearly at the end of my first term of my second year at Uni!

I've put up one Christmas Tree so far this year and it wasn't even mine. It was at my cousins house and we even had Christmas music on whilst we were doing it! I felt so Christmassy for that whole weekend and then as soon as I went back it all went. My parents wont let me put up our tree until not this weekend coming but the one after. I think the fact that I haven't been around any Christmas decorations is probably what is making me not feel festive enough. Normally I'm playing Christmas music in mid November!

We have my little cousins coming over for Christmas this year and I think that will make it so much more magical. Ella, who is 7, still believes in Santa and so i'm hoping some of that excitement will rub off on the rest of us!

I feel like the countdown to Christmas really begins now (even though I don't feel festive at all.

Hello You Lovely Lot!


So, since it's finally December I would just tell you all (if you didn't already know) how much I love December and Winter in general!

Snow

I am one of those weird people who just LOVES snow. Even when I'm out in it I enjoy it! I just think there's something so magical about it and in my opinion, it's not Christmas unless it's snowed. I woke up the other morning and Kayleigh told me that it had snowed. I literally ran down the stairs and opened the door. As long as I'm not cold I'm fine and if you've got enough layers on, going out in the snow is fine by me!

Music

Today was the first time I played Christmas music with my family and even though my dad pretended to hate it I think he secretly loved it. Christmas is one of the only times you can listen to cheesy music and just not care (going to Pop World is also one of those times). The cheesiest ones are the best ones in my opinion. Especially at Christmas!

Clothes

Winter is my time to shine. I LOVE jumpers and I LOVE warm, comfy clothes. I'm not really a fan of showing a bit of skin and that's just because I don't feel confident enough. So, when winter comes I know I can put loads of layers on and be comfortable and not look out of place. Plaid shirts, big jumpers, the comfiest pyjamas. I think the thing is that I'd rather be too cold than too hot because I know I can warm up so quickly!

Food

Christmas is just the time where you can eat whatever you want and nobody will judge you. As my housemate Jack says all the time when I say I might have some crisps or some chips or whatever, 'It's Christmas!'. This year I'm not sure what I'm going to do for Christmas Dinner this year because of course, I'm a vegan. However, I'm sure I can find some lovely stuff to eat and if I do I'll have to update you all!

Films

Christmas is the time for the best films around. In my opinion, the best film at this time has to be 'A Muppets Christmas Carol' and my cousins told me the other day that they'd never seen it and because they're staying with us this year I'm going to make them watch it and I just can't wait! I started to watch a few Christmas films a few weeks ago because I was just in a festive mood and lets be honest, Christmas films are great all year round!

Vlogmas

I am a MASSIVE Vlogmas fan and if you didn't already know I'm doing it myself this year! Sometimes, when I'm really bored I go back to peoples Vlogmas' from the year before or even the year before that and watch them all because I just love them! I tend to do the same on Christmas Eve too when I can't sleep (promise I'm 19 not 9)!


Those are just a few things I love about the festive season but I think I love pretty much everything about it all! I hope you enjoyed the second day of Blogmas and that you're looking forward to tomorrow!

Hello you lovely lot!

I love Vlogmas. When I say love, I mean it. Sometimes I watch old Vlogmas videos in the middle of summer, I'm so rebellious? As it got closer and closer to December I started to rewatch a few of my favourites (I did it when I was drunk once and woke up the next morning with the Christmas music playing, not the best). I tend to watch the same people every year although I have found some new channels this year who happen to be doing vlogmas! It was taking me too long to think of ten people that I watched since I only watch six or seven so I decided to make it a top five!

Better get going then!

5. Jim Chapman / EveryDayJim

Now Jim isn't technically doing Vlogmas this year because he isn't vlogging every single day till Christmas, he vlogs Monday-Friday anyway so I'm counting it! I don't watch Jim's vlogs as much as I used to but I still think he's a lovely person and he really does make me smile! His vlogs are always just quite relaxing I guess, especially if you're nosy like me.

4. Tanya Burr

I think Tanya' channel is just called Tanya Burr? I don't know! I never watch Tanya's vlogs and I don't really know why but I do know that I love her Vlogmas videos! She just gets so excited around Christmas which is exactly what I'm like! Christmas is my favourite time of year, not even just Christmas, just winter in general. My birthday is in January so around this time is where I love my life. Tanya reminds me of me and I find her vlogs so easy to watch!

3. Alfie Deyes / PointlessBlogVlogs

I tend to watch Alfie's vlogs quite a bit and obviously he daily vlogs anyway so I don't think he's calling this vlogmas? However, he tends to do such interesting stuff (I mean one vlog was him getting a Christmas tree which is honestly so interesting to me.) He also spends a lot of time with Zoe, obviously, who I love to pieces. I think that Alfie is just generally a lovely person too, I always forget that I've met him and how much I loved him!

2. Zoe Sugg / MoreZoella

It was a stuggle to decide between Zoe and the number one spot but eventually I came to a decision. I love Zoe so much and she's one of my favourite YouTubers. I think the only reason that she isn't number one is becase I obviously see the same things in Alfie's vlogs, not that it bothers me because you do see them from two different perspectives! Zoe really cheers me up, I think she just has such an infectious personality and it makes me so happy. I also love the fact she's doing the videos on her main channel too!

1. Hannah & Stef Michalak / TheMichalaks

I love these two so much! They are fast becoming two of my favourite YouTubers and this is the first year they've done Vlogmas! They usually upload on a Sunday and it tends to be there whole week. Their editing is magical and the music really makes it too! I love watching their videos and I look forward to Sundays simply for their videos. When I found out they were doing Vlogmas I was ecstatic, although it does mean the videos are shorter it also means I don't have to wait all week for an update! Their baby Grayson is one of the cutest children I have ever seen in my life and I love watching as he grows up and seeing all the milestones he reaches!

So, these are my favourite YouTubers to watch around the festive period! I love Vlogmas all together and so having so many people that I love makes it even better!
