It's not even December and I've watched a heap of Christmas movies already. The Princess Switch trilogy, the Christmas Chronicles, and some new ones on Netflix.
But my favourite Christmas movie of all time - or at least since the 1990s when it came out - is Tim Allen's The Santa Clause. Even better, this last week I found the DVD in a local charity shop and I was beyond happy. The library, about the only place you can borrow DVDs now, doesn't have a copy, not a one, and even one of our chainstore shops that used to sell DVDs doesn't seem to sell them at all.
A few of the local on-line stores didn't have it, and so each time I'd go into a charity shop, I'd check out the DVDs, and usually come away with something, and this time, there it was. A copy of The Santa Clause. So when I got home, I settled down, hoped to goodness it was going to play without a hitch, and it did. Fabulous! Now to find the second and third in the series.
I have recently been a bit obsessed with the practice of junk journalling. Junk jouraling! I love it so far. Its been around a few years and seems to have taken over a bit from from the scrapbooking of yore, but the thing I like about it is you use up all your stuff that is lying around. You can use all your rubbishy bits and pieces of paper and things. I like the tutorials of a lady called Leah with a channel called Thrifty Day , and I've had a go at it and I kind of really like doing it. Sometimes I feel a bit out of sorts (I blame hormones... or perhaps it is, rather, the lack of them!) and so I decide to cut stuff up and stick it on a page and I feel better. Therapeutic! I also think that because it is play and there are no rules and you can be as messy as you like, and start again if the page looks like utter rubbish, well, it is just so good for you. It's like being a kid and let's face it... we got to do all the cool stuff when we were kids. Why not , now we're ...
