What are your favourite things about Christmas?🎄 - Countdown To Christmas

-
I haven't been very good with this daily posting thing, have I! I haven't posted in ages...but I'm back and Christmas is next week (where did the time go?!) so I really want to try post as much as I can before then...but no promises. 
Today I thought I would share some of my favourite things about Christmas...well the time leading up to Christmas Day...


The Christmas Market (which didn't happen this year), the Christmas decorations up around town or outside people's homes. I feel in Switzerland people don't get into decorating the outside of their houses much, well not that I've seen, but I still love seeing what they do put up. I also love all the Christmas themed items in the shops...especially Christmas Sweaters, The Body Shop Products and the Lush festive bath bombs. 


The Starbucks Christmas Drinks. I am basically obsessed with Starbucks and I love their Christmas drinks, especially the Toffee Nut Latte. I always get excited for them to come out...even though I also get a little upset that when they come out it means the Pumpkin Spice Latte is no longer available. 


Christmas baking!! My mum, sister and I all love to bake so there is always a lot of treats around. My mum has already made Christmas Pudding, Christmas cake, and lots of Mince Pies. Homemade Mince Pies are so much better than the ones from the store...if you haven't already, you really should make some of your own. 



Christmas songs!! I love listening to Christmas Songs. I mean, who doesn't.
My niece also loves them...each time I've looked after her recently, she has begged to listen to some. 
The only problem is if I listen to any song, I am going to have it in my head all day.
So many times over the last couple weeks or so I have hummed Christmas songs at work, or in the morning when getting ready. 
Last year we had Christmas songs on repeat, especially the songs by Pentatonix. 


Family!! 
Often for Christmas we have gone to England to visit extended family members but that's not happening this year, sadly. 
But this year I'll be spending Christmas with my parents, siblings, brother in law and niece. 


The holidays!!
I am looking forward to have a holiday.
Two weeks of freedom, even though I am very likely to be doing a little studying during my holidays.
I'm looking forward to be able to sleep in a bit in the mornings...


Christmas movies!!
Cosying up, alone or with my family, and watching a good movie.
It's always a good time...
So far this Christmas season, I have watched Netflix's Holidate, The Grinch, Love Actually, and Elf.
I have so many more on my Netflix list which I am excited to watch...


So, that is my list of my favourite things about this time of year!

I have a question for you all:
What is your favourite Christmas Movie?

Avengers: Endgame|| My Thoughts & Ratings 🍿

Not that long ago I would have very quickly turned down watching this sort of movie because I was so sure I wouldn't be interested in them, and I used to be very particular about the films I liked to watch.But with a lot of pushing from my dad and brother, and comments about movies from one of my best friends, I finally gave in and decided to give them a try. And I for sure had been missing out, even though I haven't seen many of them yet at all. But because of this I now have a lot of movies I need to catch up on, so if anyone is up for a long movie night hit me up!  I haven't seen any of the other Avengers movies, because of my selective choices of movies, so I must admit I was a little lost in some parts of the movie as they referenced the previous movies in this one. But I really enjoyed the movie, and I really need to watch the others. It's always entertaining going to the cinema, but I wasn't expecting to actually enjoy the movie as much as I did. And even t...

Lost In Paris?! - Storytime

I can't remember the year I went to this school, but I went to a school near to where I live which was bilingual. There were students from across Europe but most students were Swiss. I didn't like my main class teacher very much but I am not going to be talking about class. Instead, today, I am going to talk about our school trip to Paris, France. The French class I was in my brother was part of too, which had its positives and negatives, which I also won't go into but our class was small because we were one of the "learning french as foreign students" class. So, for this camp there were about six students and my main class teacher came along too, of course, and my English teacher, which was not the same English teacher as my brother. This trip is actually the first time ever I went to Paris, and so far the only time I have ever been. And the visit did not go very well because a lot went wrong. The whole trip was also done in just two days, as far as I r...

Saving The Stranger| Short Story (Part One)

-
It was a warm spring day and outside the birds were singing. Jessica stood alone in the cold and dim underground station, after spending the Saturday morning shopping, in London, with her friends, and waited for the train to come. The world seemed to be at peace, but Jessica felt strange, as if something bad was about to happen. Something bad. She just couldn't think what it was.  Suddenly, just as the train was pulling in, Jessica saw a flicker of something black to the right side of her. She shrugged, and got onto the packed train.  Surprisingly, she found an empty seat beside a young man, of about twenty. He was wearing a navy blue cap and a black coat, which was strange as it was rather too warm to be wearing a coat. He was reading the Daily Mirror newspaper, and seemed to be very interested in it as he did not look up once. But as she looked at the young man, she was sure she had seen him before. Somehow, he did not look like one of those men that worked in London. He l...
