Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year! Here you can find everything Christmas related. From Christmas crafts to decor ideas. From aesthetics to nails and food. And, most importantly, the annual December blogging challenge that was Blogmas 2016!

Blogmas 2016 posts can be found here. This is the December blogging challenge that Life With Ktkinnes joins in with every year. Here you will find every Blogmas post from 2016 , alongside any posts relating to this December blogging challenge. Examples include a description of what this blogging challenge involves, how you can participate, planning posts, and more.

This is a challenge that bloggers do where they post everyday for the month of December, or each day leading up to Christmas (December 25th) because get it… Christmas + Blog = Blogmas! From winter fashion to gift guides, Christmas rambles to recipes, and many festive traditions, each post will help your festive spirit soar. Christmas decorations, movie recommendations, playlists, and anything else Christmas related may appear in these posts.

Flashback!

Okay okay okay, we are officially nearing the end of blogmas 2016, and yet here I find myself considering continuing through until the end of the month. Am I wise??

The days are passing quicker and quicker. I swear there aren’t 24 hours in every single day. At least, they aren’t being overly helpful – so much to do, so little time!

EEEEK!!! We’re into the last few days and I am beginning to really stress! Today, I’m going into town in the hope of seeing something somewhere to buy for Rachel’s final part of her Christmas present. Mum’s officially off for Christmas, and I think she had a good day on Saturday celebrating her birthday. Don’t think my liver will recover on time for this weekend though!

For once, I’m actually getting to listen to Christmas music on the TV while writing this post. It’s quite rare that I can have a TV show on while blogging, so the novelty is making me feel even more festive! While today’s post is all about my Christmas Playlists, we can’t have a blogmas post without the Christmas Song Countdown – have you been enjoying it?

I’ve found as the years go on I enjoy this song more. Can’t really explain why for years I didn’t like it, but it is slowly growing on me. I’m one of those people who stereo-typically likes sad, slow songs – unless it’s Christmas. Then it’s a case of the livelier the better!

So for today’s Christmas Playlist, I have included a list to my Spotify Christmas Playlist for you to listen to if you’d like, but also here are my must-have songs for a Christmas Playlist. Only another week of it being socially acceptable to listen to them!

Those Last Few

Those last few Christmas presents still to get, but no idea what to buy? I think we all have these types of people! It becomes harder and harder to think as time comes flashing forward, and I’ve just been told I can’t give Rachel pjs as she’s already getting 4 pairs! But before I share my ideas with you for last minute presents, what’s today’s song?
