People don’t always understand you but they do love you. The once that matter will be there when you need them. You’re a good person. Love yourself. Because you are your worst enemy and your biggest critic.
You’re not stupid. You are worthy of happiness and you will have it. You just need to believe. I know things aren’t easy but you’ll get there. Don’t hurt yourself. It achieves nothing. Just more heartache. You didn’t deserve the past. It wasn’t your fault! You were loved.
I remember being told when I was pregnant that having a child brings back the joy of Christmas.
Well if i had that conversation today, I would tell the person “you lie”. It just causes more stress, when you don’t have a child, people just leave you alone. Once you have had a child it’s all about others seeing them and then you feel stressed trying to keep everyone happy.
My perfect Xmas would be a log cabin somewhere with just me, Bean and Blake. Maybe with the exception of drinks one evening. Anyway… now that rants over and done with, back to blogmas:
Top Xmas movies in no particular order:
Nightmare Before Christmas
When I was younger, every year since I can remember we would have a Christmas/ New Year’s party. It wasn’t a massive party but it was always something I looked forward to and still have fond memories of. The party would consist of my two sets of great aunties and uncles; as well as my nanny on my dad’s side. I think my grandad came a couple of times. The adults would take it in turns on who would host each year. All my memories are blurred but I remember that on one year, my dear Uncle Charlie was very excited to show me a video he had purchased at Blockbuster. I must have been 9/10 and the film had me transported to a crazy world full of Halloween and Christmas. I loved every second of that night and it is now my tradition to watch that film during Halloween to get into the spirit of Christmas. (I actually still own the original VHS tape and I always will).
Muppets Christmas Carol
Come on it’s the Muppets it would be wrong not to include it. No explanation necessary.
Scrooged
I think this may be my favourite take on a Christmas carol. I also know that I was far too young when I first watched this because I remember being terrified of the taxi driver (ghost of Christmas past) and various other parts and characters. Not to mention Bobcat Goldthwaits character.. such a great film.
