Merry Christmas all! If you celebrate Christmas, I hope your day is a pleasant one with your loved ones, or doing something you enjoy, or a day full of pampering. It feels so strange once the day finally arrives, we spend so long in the build up to it and it comes and goes soContinueContinue reading “Blogmas Day 25: Merry Christmas!”

Blogmas Day 21: Naughty or Nice Book Tag

I actually did this tag way back in 2019, but as that was a long time ago I thought it’d be fun to do it again this year for Blogmas.

There are so many great books out there that I’dContinueContinue reading “Blogmas Day 20 – Top Ten Tuesday: Books I Hope Santa Brings This Year”

Blogmas Day 19: Falling for Christmas

Of course I had to watch this one this year, especially with the build up leading to it – the trailers made it look like a lot of silly festive fun, and silly festive fun is exactly what was delivered. Firstly, it’s great to see Lohan on screen again, in a really fun role. NotContinueContinue reading “Blogmas Day 19: Falling for Christmas”

Blogmas Day 18: Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special

A decent offering from Marvel, and another of their “Special Presentations”, the first being October’s Werewolf by Night. This is the conclusion to Phase 4, but feels more like an add-on than anything else. There’s nothing MCU-shattering here, but it’s an enjoyable enough romp. After they find out how Yondu ruined Christmas, Mantis decides toContinueContinue reading “Blogmas Day 18: Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special”

Blogmas Day 15: Spirited

This film immediately made it into my “watch every year” list. Spirited is a musical comedy, starring Will Ferrell, Ryan Reynolds, Octavia Spencer and more. Ferrell plays the Ghost of Christmas Present, on the verge of retirement, becomes determined to redeem Clint Briggs (Ryan Reynolds), an apparently ‘unredeemable’ man. But Present still hasn’t come toContinueContinue reading “Blogmas Day 15: Spirited”
