Christmas Is Coming

IT'S BEGINNING TO LOOK A LOT LIKE CHRISTMAS!

Hello Everyone!

Although I am a big fan of Halloween, Christmas is always my favorite time of the year! Except for the fact that here in New Zealand it's boiling hot on Christmas day! It just feels wrong, you know? Christmas is 'stereotypically' filled with things like Snowmen, Christmas Robins, Bobble Hats and Scarves, Hot Chocolate by the fire, and of course the tacky Christmas Jumpers. But here in New Zealand, It's slightly different. It's about wearing minimal clothing to stay cool, cooking Christmas dinner on the BBQ outside, and building snowmen out of sand on the beach. I still find it bizarre, but hey...each to their own. 

As it's getting closer to the big day, I though I'd take a few snaps around our house to show you how beautifully mum has decorated this year. Plus some bonus photos from when me and my brother filmed my Christmas video, which I'll also link below. 

I'll be sure to take lots of photos on Christmas day as well! 

Mum saw this on Pinterest. It's our Advent Calender this year.

Oh.

I hope everyone has an amazing Christmas!

All Hallows' Eve

Hello Everyone!

It's finally that time of year! Halloween!

Growing up in the UK, Christmas was always my favorite holiday. Christmas dinners, Snow, Robbins, Hot Chocolate, Conkers. And just the general feeling that Christmas was approaching. 

But since moving down under, Halloween has definitely stolen the number one spot. The main reason being, I still can't get over the fact that it's searing hot when you wake up on Christmas morning. Also, New Zealand isn't the most festive of countrys. They don't even sell hideous Christmas jumpers! Probably because of the 'Searing Hot' Weather, but still! So because of that Halloween has definitely become my favorite holiday. 

Again, New Zealand isn't the most festive of countrys, so even on Halloween it's a struggle just to find a decent costume. But that doesn't stop us. 

This year me and mum spent the day decorating the house, baking scary food and of course...watching scary films! 

Later in the evening my brother also invited a few of his friends, and we ended up setting off a bunch of 'faulty' Fireworks...Which ended up being quite funny.

 All in all, it was a good/creepy night which we will definitely have to repeat next year!

What did you do for Halloween this year? Or what's something you'd love to do for Halloween? One year, I'd love to spend the 31st of October in Mexico celebrating the Day Of The Dead! I can imagine  that it would be absolutely breathtaking.
