Coffee Talk!

Two posts in one day?! I think I have lost it, but I haven't really done a link-up in a while and the last question of this weeks Coffee Talk made me laugh so much, so I had to link up!

1. What type of phone do you have?
A Samsung something-or-other. Its a brick and has budget touch screen, but also has a flip out QWERTY keyboard which is nice.

2. Look to your right. What do you see?
A mirror, my sister was doing her make-up in the lounge earlier, and as usual she forgot to put it away. Sisters right?! 

3. List 5 random facts about yourself...
Oh crap I suck at these!! Um...
1. I hate peas more than any other food type. Ever.
2. I taught myself guitar, but am way to uncoordinated to play piano.
3. I re-watch shows I love over and over, even though I know exactly what happens.
4. I hate running but am determined to one day enjoy it.
5. I love Christmas shopping for girls, but never know what to get guys! 

4. What is that one talent you wish you were great at?
Singing. Sometimes my voice sounds quite good and will stay good all day, other times I sound terrible. I wish it was more consistent.

5. 5. Go to Wikipedia.org and hit random article. The first random Wikipedia article you get is the name of your band. Go to quotationspage.com and click random quotes. The last four or five words of the very last quote of the page is the title of your first ...album. Go to weheartit.com and click on “explore”. Seventh picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover. Use picmonkey.com to put it all together. Now show us your album :)
Haha this is the reason I wanted to link-up this week! I actually lucked out, and my album looks pretty legit!
How awesome is that?! I should make this a reality! Maybe once my wish of singing comes true...

Christmas Sweater Party!

I feel like we miss out on Christmas Sweaters here in New Zealand. They don't really seem to be a thing. We get the occasional one that is trying to be "fashionably cute" but none of the ugly Christmas sweater stuff I see all over the internet, and I'm jealous!

My sister and I have always wanted our own Christmas sweaters and when I'm in the states next Christmas it will be my mission to find one of my very own!! I'm particularly loving these ones right now, although some of them don't really fit the "ugly" part!

A Little Christmas Cheer

I have been finding myself in a somewhat lackluster Christmas mood. Which for me is a bit of a concern. I LOVE Christmas! It is my all-time favourite holiday, and just about my favourite time of the year. However this year isn't quite as exciting for some reason. Maybe it really is true that as you get older, Christmas gets less fun.

I hope not.

So to cheer myself up and get in the holiday mood I plan to watch as many Christmas movies as I can before the big day itself. I will pull out my old favourites and try watch some new ones. There are definitely plenty of them!!

Here are a few that I love to watch every holiday season...

The Nightmare Before Christmas
One of my all-time favourites!!

Home Alone
Oh Home Alone! Good times! And I actually enjoy all the films, even after the kid changed.

The Santa Clause
This one can be super annoying but I feel like its not Christmas unless I have watched them!

How the Grinch Stole Christmas
Jim Carrey's best role and such a cute film! I love watching this one and singing along!

Love Actually
Gotta watch this one each year, its tradition!

So what are your favourite holiday films? Are they all Christmas movies, or a slightly different tradition?
