Hello & happy Tuesday everyone! Here are a couple Christmas tree photos I am so excited to share with you!

^^These few are from the mini tree in my room. I’ve had it for a couple years now and I LOVE it!^^

^^Thought I’d share this adorable washi tape from Target!^^

Another gift guide coming tomorrow! Hope you guys liked these photos 🙂

We can all agree: Christmas movies are the absolute best. Next to Christmas music, they are the best way to get in the holiday spirit! I figured out how to put GIFs in my posts, so I had fun finding these! (It was quite easy, I can’t believe I just figured it out haha!) Here’s a little roundup of my favorites:

1. Elf

I mentioned this yesterday, but can’t we all agree Elf is THE best Christmas movie EVER?!? Yes, everything on this list is awesome, but Elf definitely wins. There are so many quotable lines and they’re all HILARIOUS!

2. Home Alone 2: Lost in New York

I just watched this last night and I must say it’s way better than the first one! I feel like a lot more happens and there are more great characters! AND, obviously since it’s set in New York, and any movie set there is automatically the best. 🙂

3. Charlie Brown Christmas

I love everything Charlie Brown. The Christmas one is definitely my favorite, next to Thanksgiving.

4. National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation

Next to Elf, this is definitely the goofiest Christmas movie! SO FUNNY.

5. A Christmas Story

I just think that kid (Ralphie, right?!) is so cute!! And that bunny costume is the best. I want one haha!

6. Polar Express

I’ve only seen this movie a few times at school, but I think it’s a really cool story. The way they animate it is kinda creepy though… is that just me? Lol. Plus, Tom Hanks is in it! I really like that song “Believe,” too!

7. Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer

OK this is a CLASSIC, and I am obsessed with Hermey the Elf! I think I like him better than Buddy… :0  He’s soooo adorable!

So those were my favorite Christmas movies…which ones did I miss? I’d love to hear your favorites so I can watch some more this year! Happy Monday!

Happy Sunday, everyone! I was looking for ideas for holiday themed posts, and I came across the Christmas Tag! It’s the fourth of December, and I have managed to post every day this month so far. I am gonna try and continue this “blogmas” throughout the whole month! Without further ado, here’s the Christmas tag…

1. What is your favorite Christmas movie/movies?

This is a hard one to pick just one, but I’m planning on doing a roundup of ALL my faves later this week! My #1 would probably be Elf. I know that’s a lot of people’s favorites but it is just so crazy good!! It’s hilarious and heartwarming and just the perfect Christmas movie.

2. Do you open your presents on Christmas Eve or Christmas morning?

Christmas morning. Occasionally I open one present from my aunt on Christmas Eve, but I prefer opening them on Christmas morning!

3. Do you have a favourite Christmas memory?

Every Christmas brings some special memory into my life! I love waking up with my brother every morning and waiting every so patiently for one of our parents to wake up.

4. Favourite festive food?

Hm. We don’t go crazy with a Christmas feast or anything, but once in a while we get a pie and that’s ALWAYS delicious! Oh – also candy canes. Haha!

5. Favorite Christmas gift?

I have loved all the gifts I’ve ever received so it’s so hard to pick a favorite!! Of course, when I was little it was definitely my American girl dolls from my grandparents! 😉

6. Favourite Christmas scent?

I believe there are two types of people in this world: the people who absolutely love the cookie, gingerbread, sugary, and cake scented candles, and the people who absolutely hate them. I LOVE sweet candles!! And the gingerbread scent is super perfect for the holidays. Hands down my favorite.

7. Do you have any Christmas Eve traditions?

Not really any formal ones… sometimes I’ll watch a Christmas movie with my brother and drink hot chocolate!!

8. What tops your tree?

Believe it or not we don’t have a star. OK, well we have a star but it doesn’t ever fit… haha.

9.  As a kid what was the one (crazy, wild, extravagant) gift you always asked for but never received?

Hm. I can’t think of an exact one, but maybe some American girl doll accessory (those are crazy expensive)!!!

10. What’s the best part about Christmas for you?

Everything! Spending time with my family, sleeping in on Christmas break, watching movies and Christmas themed TV episodes, listening to music, eating candy and food, taking Polaroid photos… the list goes on!!!

Let me know what your answers are to these questions! 🙂 Aahhhhh!! I’m so excited for Christmas!!!

Hey guys!! I am SO excited to share my holiday playlist today! Christmas music is just the best. I tried not to repeat any songs or artists, but it’s so hard to as there are SO many great covers! I will be adding more songs all throughout December, and you can check out my playlist from last year here.

https://open.spotify.com/user/josiedlugosz/playlist/1mDkzYfspBvjXAJdKa0c9Q

The first song, White Winter Hymnal, is one of my all time favorite Christmas songs. I just think it’s so beautiful!

Some of my other favorites are Last Christmas (I fell in love with the song when they did it on Glee… that cover is so good/so sad!) and Little Saint Nick. (I LOVE the She & Him cover.)

Speaking of She & Him, their older album is one of my favorites, but they just came out with a new one this year, and it’s awesome! Holiday Wishes by Idina Menzel, Wonder by Handsome and Gretyl, White Christmas by Brooke White, and That’s Christmas to Me by Pentatonix are some of my other favorite albums!

What are your favorite holiday songs and albums? 🙂 Let me know if you checked this playlist out!

 

Here’s a quick little post! These are just a few photos of my delicious (vegetarian) thanksgiving last week! Hope you all had a great one! More posts coming this weekend! (If you want to know what one of the dishes is, just comment and I’ll link you to it!)
