Walking in a Winter wonderland || 22nd of Christmas

♫ We’re happy tonight. Walking in a winter wonderland. ♫ 

Hello Everybody,

Today I went to Winter Wonderland in London and to be honest it is over commercialized. It wasn’t really a “Winter Wonderland”, there wasn’t much really that yelled “Winter”however the day out was still great!

In my opinion it should be like a normal Fairground such as Thorpe Park, where you pay to get in and then rides are free but you pay more for the ice skating or The magical Ice kingdom.

However the inside was full of amazing Fairytale ice sculptures – it was also freezing – The sculptures and setting reminded me of Narnia!

Other sections of Winter Wonderland were pretty for example the lights when you walk in were quite magical but otherwise for me it lacked the whole point of it. It was fun though, I went in a fun house with my cousin and siblings (as the adult) To be honest it made me feel nostalgic because when I was younger and I had to chose 1 ride to go on it would always be this one since you could spend as much time as you wanted on it! I was a smart child…

So I hope you enjoyed my review of Winter Wonderland. Overall I’d give it a 6/10 because it can be enjoyable if you’ve got the money to spend on rides otherwise it’s hard to spend a nice day there. Anyway Thanks for reading ❤

Its beginning to look a lot like Christmas

Merryyy Christmas (early Christmas) everyone!!!!

 

Although there’s still a few days to go until the the 1st of December Im one of those type of people who from Halloween as soon as its the 1st of November that’s it, it is Christmas!!! Honestly I don’t care about Halloween and I don’t celebrate Thanksgiving (British kid!) so yeah Christmas comes pretty early for me.

I just love how happy everyone is at Christmas, even though Christmas shopping is a nightmare sometimes with the busy shoppers barging past you and the endless ques, it makes Christmas… well Christmas! My favorite part about Christmas Shopping has to be the amount of fairy lights put up around the stores, it looks amazing! I love the decor as well, I always look forward to seeing the next new decorations. It just makes me feel like I am “Walking in a winter wonderland”. Side note: just as i finished typing that the song came on… I’m a confirmed psychic 

One thing that I do is listening to Christmas music in Summer occasionally, simply because it makes me happy and reminds me of Christmas day which I always love. No matter what the lyrics, Christmas songs are always jolly, it is just an unwritten rule about Christmas songs… They have to be happy!

Obviously I love to be on the receiving end of presents, however I do love to give out presents! I don’t care if it sounds cheesy but I love making other people happy. This year I’m not getting pressies for my friends simply because I can’t afford it – I need to refrain from spending ANY of my money! As I said before I do love to receive gifts, everyone does, its been something I’ve done since I was 1 (when life was simple!). As I have younger siblings, who do believe in Father Christmas, I have got to go along with it and we always have to see if he has come to bring us Christmas presents. Then of course we open our gifts which are just amazing.

Last thing I love is that even though Christmas has become so commercial we still remember (as Christians) the birth of Jesus. This of course is the whole reason that we have Christmas and why it is so happy. I am for once actually looking forward to my Carol Service with my school this year, not only because its the last one I have as a part of my school. To be honest I am going to miss it because I hate it sometimes as it can be so long and boring as well as the singing – I don’t like singing in public. However I will be looking forward to the going after to Starbucks or AMT (I love AMT over Starbucks – Starbucks pay your taxes and I’ll love you a little more!)

Anyway this is my first Christmas post and I am intending on doing some more Christmassy posts, much more frequently from now on wards! So any suggestions please feel free to comment. Perhaps I could do some Christmas cookie decorating posts? Thanks for reading! ❤
