This year will be my 12th December Daily album.
It will also be my first time documenting Christmas during a pandemic. Covid-19 is still going strong, and numbers are once again rapidly rising.
I'm not quite as anxious about Covid now as I was back in March. But I've also been home, almost exclusively, for the past 8 months.
We plan to enjoy this year by decorating earlier than usual. Twinkling white lights, make everything better. We celebrated Easter and Thanksgiving this year, without extended family. We are FOR SURE taking extra precautions over the next 5 weeks, so we can safely get together with family for Christmas.
I've started working on this years December Daily album. I've already got a few pages done. I'm super happy with how they turned out.
I'm a sucker for the Hallmark Christmas movies. Every one here groans and sighs at me, but the movies are just so darn sweet. Right now, hopeful and sweet are where it's at. Also, I got Barry on board last year, by playing drinking games while watching said movies. [I'm not going to lie, it certainly added an element of fun]
This years first Christmas movie premiered on October 31st. I've already watched 2 of them since then. I plan to update my layout and mark off movies that have been watched.
Aside from Hallmark movies, we do have a few other favs. It's the one time of year I can get Barry to watch romantic movies without many complaints. Well, as long as I promise to watch Die Hard at some point during the holidays. He assures me, it's the ultimate Christmas movie. 😂 I go with it, because I actually like John McClane, I've even been known to quote him a few times.
Here are pages that I'll tuck somewhere into this years DD album, highlighting this years new movie line up.
I also used Favourite Things collection to create a quick layout, using Novembers template freebie. [Available to download for free - click here, through the month of November]
I use snapchat strictly for it's filters.
I honestly, have no idea how the app works. And I don't care.
I do know that I get a lot of joy out of taking photos with my favourite people, while using these silly filters.
I'm already looking forward to this years crop of silly photos. Here are a few from last year:
