At this time of year, I love to watch Christmas movies.  In the UK,Christmas 24 plays a lot Hallmark Christmas movies and every opportunity I get I will watch them.  They maybe saccharin sweet and cheesy, always very predictable and squeaky clean but they make me feel a tiny bit Christmassy, even just for the length of the movie.  Above is some of my favourites from the past couple of years, but three classics, Elf, The Santa Clause and Miracle of 34th Street. Wishing you Merry Christmas movie watching Love Lesley

So it is December and it's the time of year for reading Christmas themed books. This year I am participating in Lauren and the books Patreon Bookclub and Decembers book is Last Christmas curated by Greg Wise and Emma Thompson.  It is a collection of short essays about Christmas by celebrities such as Meryl Streep, Emma Watson, Bill Bailey,  and also normal people who may have been involved in homelessness, organ transplants, refugee etc.  It ties in with the new movie Last Christmas starring Emilia Clarke (of GOT fame). I have also bought A Literary Christmas which is an anthology of Christmas stories and excerpts from classic books by people such as Charles Dicken, Louisa May Alcott and C S Lewis. I will also be reading a few Christmas Chick Lit/Cozy romances that I have accumulated on my kindle.  I will list them in my December wrap up. I will be continuing in my reading of Nigel Slaters Christmas Chronicles, which so far has been delightful to read ...

I thought I would do a Christmas Cat Advent calender this December. Day 1 is this little beauty with her little Reindeer outfit on.  Such a cutie!!!! Happy 1st December and first day of Advent. Love Lesley xxx

How on earth can it be December already? I'm not keen on winter  especially if it is snowy or icy but I love that it is the festive season and it is Christmas time.  I love all the festive imagery, Christmas cards,  Christmas trees and decorations.  Festive hot chocolate and coffee at my favourite coffee shops and all the food.  Cheesy Christmas movies on Christmas 24, Christmas carols and some time spent with family and friends. It is indeed the most wonderful time of the year. Wishing you a festive and wonderful December Love Lesley xxxx
