Alice's Top Eight Christmas Movies Like Ever!

Seasons greetings! 

December is upon us and for most of us that means Christmas is near! ASDFGHJKL! *exhales slowly to try and calm down* I am SO excited! I mean autumn is my favourite season but Christmas is my favourite time.

And what is Christmas with out Christmas movies? If you are stuck for which one to watch (first) then let me enlighten you with my top eight Christmas movies like ever.

1. The Grinch 

 

This list is in no particular order but the Grinch is hands down my all time favourite Christmas movie. I am a big fan of both Jim Carrey and Christmas (duh) so put them together and you get a very happy Alice. It's hilarious for all ages and just Christmas-y as is perfect to put you in that festive mood. I absolute love it. And not going to lie, it's the 4th of December and I've already watched it twice so far. I could also probably quote the whole movie ;)

2. The polar express

 

When I was in year 5 ( EIGHT years ago!) we had a polar express day at school. Everyone would come to school in their pyjamas we'd make golden tickets, drink hot chocolate (with marshmallow and cream) and watch The Polar Express. It was great, although the volume must have been turned down or the class must of been loud because for years I thought it was a silent movie. It's not if you were wondering. This film is full of Christmas magic and is all about believing in Santa. The soundtrack alone makes me feel all fuzzy inside. It's SO magical! So what are you waiting for? Grabs so family or friends or even your pet fish, get into your PJ's, get some hot chocolate and have a polar express night! (I'm actually watching it as I type this)

3. Home Alone

 You don't have to really like Christmas to like home alone, it's just set at Christmas time. It's funny family entertainment without the family and a must watch for this season. It will make you really appreciate your family and worry you every time you go somewhere with them that they'll forget you. They haven't yet, don't worry aha.

4. The Nightmare Before Christmas

   

This is Halloween quite an alternative Christmas film and you can watch it at Halloween and Christmas so if you're not into the traditional Christmas movies this might tickle your peach. it's also made by Tim Burton who is one of my favourite directors so that's just another reason to watch it!

5. A Muppet Christmas Carols

 

I love the "Christmas carol" story anyway (even the book is bearable despite how old it is) but I especially love the Muppet version. Don't get me wrong, the new Tim Burton one is great but this one is so nostalgic to me. It's magical, funny and all about the spirit of Christmas. I need to watch it soon!

6. Mickey's Magical Christmas: Snowed in a the house of mouse

This is another nostalgic one. I used to have it on video when I when I was little and watched it every chrism as. I pretty sure Walt Disney introduces it in the beginning.. could be getting that mixed up with another though, it was something Christmas. This is a group of several tale, all very heart warming and pure Disney magic. my favourite one being the Christmas carol story. Another great this about this one is all the Disney character are in it! Disney knows how to do Christmas right.

7. Barbie in the Nutcracker

 

 I know what you're probably thinking: Alice, you're 17! Why are you watching Barbie? Why? because it's great, that's why. No matter how old I get, I'm still going to love the films. They were a big part of mine and my sister's childhoods' (I totally watch the new ones too haha one of my favourites being the three musketeers). Anyway, this is a great Christmas film and also nostalgic like the rest. It's just beautiful okay and the sugar plum princess is just goals.

8. The Santa Clause

 

Would it be Christmas without this movie? Not really. I love the concept of this movie. It's filled with magic, LOLs and Christmas goodness. What more can I say? Now go forth and watch it! ;)

Now excuse me, I have a lot films to watch!

Alice's Top Eight Christmas Movies Like Ever!

February Favourites

Well there goes another one. Another month been and gone and we're in March.. already?! I haven't really done much this month but.. here's some of my favourite things from February :)

Collection's Lasting Perfection Concealer 

I don't know what I can say about this other then it does it's job an it does it well! It's quite a thick/creamy consistency, making it a decent coverage but it also blends seamlessly and isn't obvious and is far from "cakey". I'm pretty sure it's only like three pounds as well so it is SO worth every penny and more, it's brilliant.

 

Batiste XXL Volume Dry Shampoo

In my opinion dry shampoo is a must when it comes to hair. It's saved me from one too many bad hair days whether that be yucky greasy hair or freshly washed hair where it's all slippery and flat and makes me want to cry.  Batiste is famous for their dry shampoos and it's so far my favourite brand for it, so when I saw they had an "XXL Volume" I automatically picked it up! having natural flat/straight hair and a "messy haircut" it was inevitable. I'm really pleased with it so far, it really does give my hair volume and a great, slip-less texture :) 

My Penny Board 

I've been loving going penny boarding down on the seafront now that is getting warmer less icy/rainy. I don't claim to be some expert skater (or pennier? haha) but I love just cruising along on it with the wind in my hair, the sounds of the sea and the thrill of going faster. I don't know, I just love it :D

Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas

I'm not going to say too much about this because I'm planning a book review for it where I'll go into detail. What I will let you know, is this is probably one of my favourite book. It's weirdly the first fantasy book I've read since I'm so obsessed with fantasy, well the first YA fantasy book I've read that is. It's got parts of it that remind me of; Game of Thrones, Harry Potter (goblet of fire), Divergent, The Hunger Games, as well as being so unique itself. I'd recommend doing what I did and go in not knowing what it's about and I certainly recommend it full stop. JUST READ IT SO WE CAN FANGIRL TOGETHER! OKAY? OKAY.

My Glittery "A" 

In spirit of redoing my room soon, I decided to start making some things to go in it. Starting with the "A" I made. All it is paper mache letter painted white and covered in glitter so it's not really a diy but I was a helluva lot cheaper then buying one like this. I adore glitter and A is for Alice.. which is my name so it's personal and looks just stunning in my room. This will be part of a frame wall when I redecorate :)

My Duck Notebook

(I realise whilst writing these how much I stuck at describing things and explaining why they're my favourite.. so sorry about that.. haha) Whale, if you didn't know (of course you didn't!) my favourite animals are ducks, (although I'm also fond of hedgehogs) in fact, for half of year 11 I walked around school with a duck bag.. [you can see a picture on my art instagram linked below] and it was freaking awesome! such a shame it broke :'( Anywho, I'm also kind of obsessed with notebooks for reasons I can't explain, and when I saw a DUCK NOTEBOOK in The Works I was like "yeah.. well that's going to belong to me.." and bought it.

Taylor Swift

At the beginning of February I bought the 1989 album and.. it spiralled from there. I got my hair cut short and it accidentally makes my kind of look like her (or so I've been told a lot) what's funny is that I already wear red lipstick all the time so you can imagine how that helped with the resemblance. I've always kind of like her music but after this album I REALLY like her music and shake it off is HANDS DOWN my favourite song on it and at the moment entirely. It's so catchy and great to dance to. What can I say, it's my jam ;)

So, there's a fairly short post of some of the things I've been really enjoying lately..

 Thanks for reading!

Hope you enjoyed ^.^

What are your favourite things?

Have a super fantastic day!

CYA!
