Another Christmas is over, and as usual we spent it at my sisters, and like always the dinner was amazing. I had a lot of baking to do for this Christmas as I had 4 yule logs to make, 2 lemon drizzle cakes and a white chocolate cheesecake. I did have some other bakes planned but they went out the window as my baking didn't go to plan, while also being exhausted from working night shifts.
As I've just said I was working nights but I think only doing 2 nigh shifts mixed in with my usual Saturday morning shift really took it out of me.
This month is the start to all my concert countdowns, starting with ATEEZ in Manchester as the end of the month. Last year we only had Eric Nam booked, but this time I've already got 4 concerts booked for 2025, I'm curious to see who else we end up adding to our lists.
Firstly from my brother and his family, I got this bottle of Lacey's Vodkashake. I'm not a big fan of Vodka, but I'm willing to give this try as it sounds nice.
Next from my friend Clare and her family, I got a bottle of Bailey's which will come in handy with my baking, maybe even a glass or two.
From my friend Nichola and her family I got this bath set with fluffy socks and a candle. The bath set smells gorgeous and the socks are so warm and fluffy.
The candle smells really nice, I'm not sure where to have it set just yet, but I do keep having a smell now and again.
From my nephew Daniel and his other half Erin, I got this Harry Potter body care set. I love Harry Potter and this is a really cute set. The hand cream is in my bag ready to use while I'm out and about.
Next from my nephew Owen, I got this hand cream set, which is perfect for me as when my hands get too dry, they get really itchy. At the moment the middle one is in use and it smells really nice and really hydrates my hands.
From my sisters dogs I got these bath bombs, which will definitely come in handy during the winter months.
From my friend Mary-Kate, I got a 100 bakes scratch poster, 2 strip magnets with pictures of us at each of our K-pop shows and a box of Maltesers. The magnets are already on my fridge, I've eaten my Maltesers and I can't wait to start scratching off bakes on the poster. I'm curious to see what it has in store for me.
I treated myself to KStars Secret Shopper where they randomly send an album they've wrapped up so that even they don't know what is being sent. I bought 4 2 for myself and 2 for Skye and I made sure we both got a male and female artist, and as you can see I got Stray Kids' Ate album as well Alexa's Tattoo single. They were both good pulls for me, Skye got Lisa's version of a Blackpink album as well as a Japanese ATEEZ album.
Skye got me Nayeon's 2nd mini album Na. This is an album that I would have on my list of albums I want, but would never think to buy. I can't wait to share it with you in a future blog post.
From my dad and his wife Alison, I got volumes 2,3 and 4 of Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation by Mo Xiang Tong Xiu. I already have volumes 1 and 5 so now I have the complete set. I love Mo Xiang Tong Xiu, so I'm glad to complete her books.
From my sister and her husband I got Mo Xiang Tong Xiu's first novel series The Scum Villain's Self-Saving System. I'm happy to have Mo Xiang Tong Xiu's complete novel series' and I'm excited to get stuck into them to see how they differ from Heaven Official's Blessing.
Lastly from my mum and her other half Dave, I got £100, which was used wisely in preparing to see ATEEZ at the end of the month.
That brings us to the end of what I got for Christmas. I loved all my gifts and I'm always grateful for what people get me.
See you soon!
