Thought I'd do a little list of things that need to happen for it to be like Christmas.
Or things that I relate TO Christmas.
Whatever, this blog is X(mas) Rated.
TRADITIONS
The tradition of your Mum burning the turkey and taking a "minor" freak out.
The tradition of doing a little snow dance on Christmas Eve to ensure you get the white Christmas you've always dreamt of.
And, of course, the tradition of spending the entire day with the people you love.
And, of course, this woman:
Your majesty.
Bear attacking your majesty.
Eveeeeeening.
Films/TV shows
Dr Who is always a popular choice...
Until... you know... Daleks went all Hippy on us.
What can I say? Friends holiday specials are still amazing.
Who can forget the episode with the turkey!?
And, of course, the soaps. Where the atmosphere is NEVER merry.
How can you forget Archie Mitchell's death?
Even the snowglobe freaks me out!
Grease...
Why is it on EVERY year?!
This is seriously on every year.
But I'm not complaining!
Classic. This should be on much more often.
But you know what I REALLY want to watch this year?
Na na na na na na na na BATMAN!
Daaaaaamn. Could the drawer make him any more ripped?!
He looks like Arnie on steriods...
"You have reached Arnold's Bulging muscles. I'm not available at the moment but don't worry.... I'll be back. Leave a message after the beep."
Yeah.
Batman Begins is on over the Christmas weekend, can't wait! Been waiting for ages to watch that movie. Christopher Nolan is my hero!
SNOW
I'm sorry, I know a lot of you are getting sick of it now, but you really do need this to make it Christmas.
Hollywood assured that.
EVERY Christmas movie created seems to involve snow in some shape of form.
CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS
Where are we without those nuts who go completely over the top?!
Gotta love em.
I'm not that crazy...
Okay. Rephrase.
I don't decorate my house that much.
Hate lying to you guys you see. I am NUTS.
