OUR CHRISTMAS TRADITIONS | QUEENBEADY

The big day is very nearly upon us. The 25th December is for families and friends, oh and of course getting comatose on pigs in blankets! Christmas is always a strange one for me, some years I can’t wait for Father Christmas to arrive and some years I could quite easily hop on a plane and head off somewhere exotic with no tinsel in sight. Well, this year I fall in to the former category. Both sides of our family have very strong family bonds & it’s so nice to dedicate a full day to indulging and with those we love.

HOW TO KEEP YOUR PETS SAFE DURING THE FESTIVE SEASON* | QUEENBEADY

“TIS THE SEASON TO BE JOLLY, FA-LA-LA-LA-LA-LA”

It’s also a time of year where you have friends and family visiting, everything is always very chaotic. Whilst I love it, your pet might not. My little doggy loves to be fussed but too many people really confuse her and she becomes “whappy dog” an affectionate term for when she has a mad half hour, running backwards and forwards, getting in the way and being a loud and (at some times) obnoxious dog. It’s not her fault, far from it, but I always have to be mindful that not everyone loves dogs or animals quite as much as I do. The RSPCA has put together some handy hints & tips to keep your pets safe over the festive season. Some I found very useful for the festive period.

AM I ADULTING #1 + COUNTRY LIVING CHRISTMAS FAIR TICKET GIVEAWAY | QUEENBEADY

I start these things you know, with the hashtag, #1. I never get further than the first one. But there’s something about this idea that just stuck with me. Am I adulting? I question this pretty much every day of my life so of course, there should “theoretically” be plenty to talk about each week. It’s also a little bit more anecdotal, a little glimpse in to how my brain works and all the crazy crap that runs through it on a daily basis. (Read: My brain is ridiculous and I need someone else to listen to the bat shit cray cray stuff it thinks up.)

What I got for Christmas | QueenBeady

This has to be the single-handed cringe thing I have done. Guys, I made a video. Yes, that’s right. I made a brand spanking video about all the gifts I got for Christmas this year. After speaking with Leanne from The Dress Diaries I couldn’t help but think, “hey, Imma gonna do a video and see how this shit goes down.” So I present you, a really dorky video of me talking about the things I got for Christmas, cos we all wanna know what Santa brought to us under the tree, am I right?

I’ve said many times on social media and even wrote about it here, that I just don’t seem to be able to get in to the Festive spirit this year. It’s not that I’m a scrooge – I love embracing Christmas. Decorating the Christmas tree, all the chocolate (and I mean alllll the chocolate) and big fat roasts to devour. There’s nothing I enjoy more than a cosy weekend indulging in all things Christmas. I’ve just clicked on to Facebook and funnily enough, someone else has just posted a status about not feeling Christmassy this year too. It looks like I’m not the only one. But, I think I’ve finally put my finger on it.
