02 - Christmas Time

Hello everyone!

Since it's Christmas time I thought I should share my thoughts with you and maybe give you some advice.

There is literally not a single thing I hate about Christmas. I love the smell of Christmas. I love the Christmas atmosphere as long as people are not stressed. I can even live with that as long as it does not stress myself.

I love going to the Christmas fair, especially in the evening when it's dark outside. And of course I love how everything is decorated. Sadly my mom is not a big fan of Christmas decoration.

Oh and can we please talk about the food. Let's be honest, food is one of the best things of Christmas. I always get so fat around that time. But who cares, I don't have to walk around in bikini since it's winter and it's pretty cold where I live.

The only thing that I don't like is the heating at my school. It doesn't work so it's always cold. The teachers don't like it when we wear our jackets in class so I'm freezing all the time and it's horrible.

I also can't stand some Christmas Songs (I hate Last Christmas, for me that song is soooo annoying) but this is only a very small amount and it's not worth mentioning.

But one of the things I like the most is giving presents. It makes me so happy to make my family and my friends happy. I know lots of you are annoyed because you have to spend lots of money or you're running out of ideas. At that point I thought I should give you some advice.

1. This one's for presents for family members. If you share some interests you can make them a present you'd like to have yourself. Maybe you and your sister watched a movie in the cinema some time ago and it was really good and you want to watch it again but you think it's not worth spending money on the DVD. Give it to your sister as a present because that way you can watch the movie all the time and you have a really good present.

2. If you're a creative person, be creative! Write a story or draw a picture. Buy a cheap white t-shirt or pillow or something like that and paint something on it. This way you can always show that you've put lots of work and along with that lots of love into this gift.

3. If one of your friends is a fangirl you can buy any cheap fan product and I guarantee you that she will be very happy with it.

4. This one's for presents for your parents or grandparents. Print out a good picture of yourself and put it into a picture frame or print out more pictures and put them into a selfmade calendar. You can give a selfmade calendar to a friend of yours as well. Just print out photos of the two of you or photos of a band or a series your friend likes and put them into the calendar. This way you can share lots of memories and I can promise you that especially grandparents can never get enough photos.

Okay, that's it for now. I hope I could help you! If so, feel free to share your gift ideas.

Enjoy the food (and also everything else about Christmas). Show love to your family and friends. And sing along to Christmas songs as loud as you can. Spread happiness.
