But why? Facebook seems to agree.
I love Christmas; I spend half the year looking forward to Christmas but I feel like it’s not even happening this year. What’s going on world!? Where is my festive cheer!?

I don’t know if I’m the only one, but with the huge rush for essays and the few days still to go before the Christmas break begins I suspect I’m not the only one having trouble getting into the festive spirit this year. What’s more Christmas-ey than a drunken uncle? That’s right; snow, and to help get us feeling festive without the need for uncle Terry I’ve got two great tips.
Number One: Keep My Bloggywog open 24/7 and enjoy the snow I’ve added; sure it’s tacky but it’s also kinda fun (right?).
Number Two: For those of you with a Mac have a go with Snow for Mac OS X it’s simple and fun and is actually making me feel rather festive already! Personally I like just having the snow falling but if you like you can have Santa, a polar bear AND snow bells growing on your screen; how awesome is that!?
You could even adopt a nice wallpaper like the one below to give yourself the full winter effect.
As anyone who knows me at all will know; I am a fanatic Apple geek! Everyone will know the iconic Apple ads by now and since it’s Christmas time they’ve released a couple of new Christmas-ey ones, I thought I’d share my favourite; you really can’t help but love PC can you?
I don’t usually do ‘personal’ posts but hey, this is just too cute not to share and I promise not to start blogging about my cats any time soon.
Oh my God! How cute is Alice as an elf!? My mum sent this picture (right) to me yesterday, and also to just about every other family member in her address book, mind you; I did almost exactly the same thing.. Turns out she took it from someone’s facebook photos; she’s such a facebook stalker that woman!
I can’t believe that not only has my little sister just turned 18 but she’s also an elf! My big grown up little elf sister is working at Lapland UK this winter, making little kids dreams come true! I read an article about this place last night and there’s an awesome quote:
It’s a magical moment that brings to mind these touching words from Lapland UK’s terms and conditions: “We cannot be liable for any distress or disappointment if any child (or adult) loses his or her belief in Father Christmas.”
Ellie leaves with belief intact – and it takes us just under the hour to get back from Lapland. We’re both happy.
As I’m writing this I just received another email from my mum saying,
The hats have a bell on except a few and if you don’t have a bell, the kids are told you are a naughty elf – Alice was a naughty elf last week (you get given a different hat each time) and also they wear boots with curly toes and yesterday a little girl asked Alice ‘Why do your boots have curly ends?’ Alice said – ‘ To put my curly toes in. Where do you put your curly toes?’ and the little girl said ‘ I DON’T HAVE CURLY TOES!!!!!???!!!’ Haha ha – so funny!!
I think mum might be having trouble letting go of the fact that both of her kids are now adults and is stalking them to make up for it. I do love my family! :)
