Blogmas #19 | Becca's Babble's #3: Christmas Shopping

Source: Telegraph.co.uk
As you can see from the title, this is my next Becca’s Babble’s topic.

I quite enjoy Christmas shopping, but I do sometimes find it stressful! It’s hard when people don’t know what they would like, so you don’t know what to buy. Plus every year some people like to set themselves a budget and depending on where you live, it can be hard to stick to it. I live in a small town and rely on public transport, so I buy most of my Christmas gifts online.

Me and my Sister shop together for our gifts, so it is slightly easier and I have someone to carry my bags! (joking). We find it hardest to buy for our Mum and Dad because they never give us a serious or straight answer when we ask them what they would like. Last year I didn’t have a big budget, but this year things have changed, but I am not going to go crazy. It is also our Mum’s birthday a couple of days after Christmas, so we buy extra. It’s not too hard because I think women are easier to shop for, especially if you are a woman too!

Me and my Sister usually leave it to the last minute to sort out Christmas gifts, but this year we have done it earlier to save rushing around like last year! We now both feel relaxed because everything is already wrapped, tagged and ready to put under the tree Christmas morning. We would put them under there Christmas Eve but we both have destructive young cats that love playing with paper! I think you can guess how that story would end!

Have you finished your Christmas shopping yet?

Becca's Babble's #5: My Favourite Films

Last month I shared with you my current favourite songs and today I thought I would mention my all-time favourite films. I might do another post on my favourite TV series, but that would probably be a very long list. Here are my top twelve favourite films (in year and alphabetical order):- The Wizard of Oz (1939) This is the oldest of my favourite films and it is a classic! I don’t think a synopsis is needed by me for this film. It is a really magical film, especially for the era it was made in where there was no CGI and they had to get creative for the special effects. I really enjoy this colourful, magical and musical film. Return to Oz (1985) The film is set after Dorothy returns home from Oz. It isn’t really a continuation of the Wizard of Oz film as it was made decades later and doesn’t feature any original cast. It also isn’t a musical. Dorothy finds herself back in Oz and realises it needs saving from some terrible people as a lot has changed there since she retur...
