Blogmas Day 1: Welcome and Introductions + Make Your Life More Festive. Like, Now.

Alright y'all, the time has come. The time of the year where bloggers come together, where Blogging and Christmas are married and a Blogmas baby is born (blogging + Christmas = Blogmas. See what we did there?). And that time is now. Welcome to Blogmas 2020.
For a time, Blogmas was a thing in blog world but since I am still not entirely sure where all the bloggers went in since 2014 I'm not sure if people still do this. But we're doing it. I am standing at the corner of Winslow Arizona Blogging and Christmas, ready to dive in head first and get my Blogmas on every day until Christmas Day. Is this a lofty goal? Yes. Am I setting myself up for failure by setting such a lofty goal? Yes Maybe? But we're going to try it anyway because it's Christmas time and we are here for all the Christmas-y content! We attempted Blogmas last year in 2019 and made it about halfway. With any luck, this will be the year we make it the other half! 

So let's kick this thing off shall we?!

Make Your Life More Festive. Like, Now.

I like to fully embrace each and every season as the year goes by - is it spring time? Perfect, pastel's and Easter it is. Summer time has finally arrived? Awesome, break out that summer playlist and fireworks! Spooky Season is here closely followed by fall? Perfect, leaves and pumpkins for everyone. There's something to be said for making your life festive year-round no matter what season you're in... and Christmas OBVI, is the most festive season of all. So since this is Blogmas, here are some small things I do that you should too, to make your December festive every single day. However, substitute "Christmas" or "holiday season" for literally any other season throughout the year and bam you are festive AF all year 'round. 
  • Drink out of a Christmas/Holiday mug. I tend to do this with my sports teams too. Is baseball #1 in my heart? Yes. But is baseball in season right now? No. So drink out of a Dbacks mug I shall not. I can't and I shan't. 
  • Buy seasonal flavored food and drinks (e.g. Peppermint Mocha coffee creamer, gingerbread flavored anything, etc.). This also applies to like, hand soaps, shower gel, body lotion, chapstick - buy all the seasonal scents all the time. 
  • Change your phone and/or computer desktop wallpaper to something with serious Chrimstmasy vibes
  • Light seasonally scented candles (my absolute favorite is Frosted Cranberry followed closely by Fresh Balsam)
  • Put on some holiday ambience/ASMR in the background (currently as I write this blogpost I am listening to Hogsmeade at Christmas by ASMR Weekly, who in fact has tons of both Harry Potter Christmas and non-Christmas videos alike. If you want my opinion Harry Potter ASMR is the best kind of ASMR
  • Two words: HALLMARK. CHANNEL.
  • Read a book set in the month of December and/or during the holiday season. My December TBR coming soon! 
  • Put up Christmas decorations, duh. This includes but is not limited to your desk/workspace at work, your bedroom, anywhere you want to be reminded that it's Christmas and you are here for all of it. In fact, do yourself a favor this holiday season and buy this phone charger whose cord is literally a string of Christmas lights.
  • Wear Christmas socks while you work at home. Or lounge at home. Or sleep. Just wear the socks, you guys.
  • This one also probably goes without saying but like, crank up the Christmas jams y'all!
Do you feel freakin' festive yet?!
