My Favourite Christmas Songs!

Once again I've decided to tell you my top 5 for the Christmas season, but this time... SONGS! A massive part of Christmas is the music so here we go!!

The countdown begins:

5. Jingle bells

I agree with many that this song is used way too often... but can you blame them?! This song is so cheerful and uplifting, you can't help get in the Jingle Bell mood!

4. Mistletoe

Yes, yes I know, a lot of people don't like Justin Bieber for various reasons. I not such a fan myself of Justin, but a lot of his music is quite good. Mistletoe is a very modern carol but has a classic feel to it, refreshing Christmas songs that have been around way too long!

3.Fairytale in New York

A true classic indeed! This song is also used way too often but you just can't get bored of it. A typical Christmas eve story for many people.

2. Once apon a Christmas Song

Yes I know this song is so repeatitive it hurts but you must admit... everytime Geraldine comes on you sing along over and over and over again!

1.Christmas Time (Don't let the bells end)

I will admit I love a rock edge, but this song is so sweet it hurts just as much as standing underneath a mistletoe without your true love!

So there you go! My favourite songs of the season. Hope you enjoy :)

My Favourite Christmas Movies!

So I've decided to help you all out if your wondering what movies to watch both tonight and tomorrow :)

Now these of course are only my personal favourites but here we go!

The countdown begins:

9.Nightmare before Christmas.

Although the name is slightly less jolly than this festive season, it must make it into my top ten! The plot about a confused Pumpkin King feeling that something is missing is surprisingly cheery as he finds his answer within Christmas!

8.The Grinch that stole Christmas. 

This green, hairy outsider has somehow made his way into the hearts of his views, one snowflake at a time.The story is all about the fear the 'whos' have of our furry friend because he lost his love on the few days before Christmas in his early years.He tries to make Christmas true again by stealing all the presents from the town Whoville with the help of his little friend Sydney Who.

7.Fred Claus

Growing up along side a successful sibling can be harsh... but Fred bares the worse being a brother to St.Nicolas himself! Years after being compared to his brother leaves Fred regretting having a brother and hating Christmas, until the North Pole needs his help!

6.Nativity

A more recent tale than the others with a brand new sequel just out! This school has a very..'different' teacher than most. He decides to create a nativity like no other! This movie is so creative and hilarious it truly deserves a place in my top 10!

5.The Santa Clause

A very true name for this movie indeed! This story is based on Scott Calvin who causes Santa to fall off his roof! this causes Scott to 'become' Santa! Of course this would be confusing for anyone.. but Scott seems to have things under control.. well as much as he can! 

4. Muppets Christmas Carol.

Just like the original Christmas carol (no.3) but... MUPPETS!

3.A Christmas Carol

Scrooge had never been a popular guy.. but when his past partner comes to him on Christmas Eve to warn him of 3 ghosts. Christmas past, present and future. In hopes to change Scrooge for the better! 

2.The Polar Express

A true classic of Christmas!! A train of young boys and girls sets off to the Northpole. An amazing adventure for the whole family.

1.Elf!

My favourite movie of the whole year!!! 

Buddy always knew he was different from the other elves, and when the time was right, he decides to set off in search for his real father. Hilarious, uplifting comedy that will surely have you through tears and smiles no matter what your age.

So that's my top 10! Hope you enjoy!!!

I Wish You A Merry Christmas Eve!

HOHOHO


wait... do  you hear that?! SANTAS ON HIS WAY!
The tracking begins.... NOW!

LESS THAN A DAY 'TILL TRACKIN'!

Hello my fellow Santa fans!
Less than a day until our santa tracking begins!!
I'm so excited, aren't you?!

So because I have a lot to do on Christmas Eve.. iv decided to switch it up!

As you all know I always track with my best friend Grace! We normally do "shifts" and take turns tracking and writing on our blogs.

Now Grace might not be here in the morning so I will DEFIANTLY be tracking then! But when Grace comes back I might disappear (to spent time with my family of course) but don't you worry! I will tell you when I will  be back and will have a note of all places where Santa has been while I've been away. This will (unfortunately) happen a few times throughout the day. But of course I'll try my very best to  be here as much as possible!

HOWEVER, when I am here I will be very busy!!
I will  have games,quizzes, music, and lots of fun stuff to enjoy this Christmas Eve even more.

So come back tomorrow for the fun and tracking right here!
Bye! (for now :P )

Welcome back!!!!!

I cant believe it, another year has past.
Santa and his elves are getting ready for the busiest night of the year and everything is in full swing!
Christmas starts NOW!
