This is how it works. You leave the link to your journal here and then do an entry on your favourite holiday song.
Visit at least five journals who you believe will play along. When you visit, leave your journal link in the comment section inviting them to play along and come see the song you chose.
This is one of my favourites:
Nat King Cole – ‘The Christmas Song’
First of all, I would like to thank everyone for their birthday wishes after I posted my last entry. I can’t believe I’m Eighteen, I don’t feel it anyway.
As I stated in my previous entry, I had no lessons on Wednesday morning, so I slept until 8:30a.m. Mum woke me up with a cup of tea and some toast. She was very eager for me to open my present from her and Dad. It was a beautiful Nine carat gold identity bracelet. It is lovely, I just have to get used to it shaking up and down my arm, or more importantly, that I don’t lose it. Thank you, Mum & Dad.
I also had some money, some of which I will save. I don’t think it’s a good idea to spend any yet. I’m going to wait until the January sales roll around because you can get some great bargains then.
Also I had a Leather Jacket. Since I was nine years old I have wanted one, and an electric shaver. I feel like a real adult with these things!
At 6p.m, Jennie came over and we visited the local pub. It felt really good to walk into the pub, buy an alcoholic drink and enjoy it without glancing over my shoulder. I rarely went in pubs when I younger, obviously because I was too young, but it was a nice atmosphere.
Then at ten past seven, my family left for “The Thai Elephant”, but it was more like a Chinese restaurant. It was an All You Can Eat buffet! Each of us ordered a portion and then we were allowed to share someone else’s. You could have as much as you wanted for a certain price. Great value for money! The food was amazing. It will definitely not be a one-off visit, I can tell you. I took some photos of the evening, hope you enjoy them.
Remember the essay I had to write on Tuesday? I got a B grade! My teacher was very impressed. I was flabbergasted. He said if I carry on this hard work I will definitely get an A grade in the English Literature coursework element. I’m going for gold now – I need that A! Keep your fingers crossed for me.
Hi there everyone!
Isn’t it cold outside? I love this time of year, everything except the cold weather, and it’s certainly a frosty day today. This shall be the last entry I shall write as a seventeen year old, as tomorrow is my Birthday!
It seems forever ago since I sat down and wrote a “proper” entry. I have an English essay to write. It’s due in on Thursday, but guess what I have decided to do first…
I am really looking forward to turning 18. To celebrate, I shall be going out for a meal with my family to a Chinese restaurant. Then on Saturday, I shall be going to the cinema with some friends.
For many years, I wanted to have a lie in on my birthday. This year, the Gods have smiled and my dreams have come true because I have no lessons until the afternoon.
This year, the Sixth Form Christmas Party has been cancelled. One reason is because some individuals cannot be trusted with alcohol, and another is, we have no venue.
So instead the school are hosting a Karaoke Evening on Friday night. It should be fun, but it probably won’t be as good as a party. Oh well, it’s a night out I suppose.
Can you believe in a fortnight’s time it’ll be Christmas Day? Have you done all the shopping and wrapped all the presents? I have finished everything now. *happy dance*
Well, wish me luck with that essay. I thought it best to write it now, as I won’t have time tomorrow.
My family had a busy time yesterday. We put up our Christmas tree (though it seems a lot earlier this year), decorated it with baubles and fairy lights, and put various ornaments around the house. It took a few hours and we were all exhausted at the end, but it is worth it because our home feels warm, cosy and Christmassy now. I can’t wait for Santa to visit. I hope you’ve all been good!
I took some photos of various things to keep myself occupied during my lazy day. I hope you all enjoy them.
Have a good weekend.
Today, I had the mole removed from my shoulder. It was not life threatening, but I’m glad it’s off my back - literally.
I had an appointment at my local hospital at five past one this afternoon. The procedure took about quarter of an hour. The Doctor numbed the shoulder area and then cut out the mole. I didn’t feel anything, except for the injection.
Then, the next thing I knew, I was stitched up and it was and over. I have three stitches put in. They shall be removed in eleven days time. There will be a small scar where the mole used to be, because the tissue is thicker than anywhere else on my body.
I asked the Doctor if I could look at it before it was sent off to the lab for another biopsy. I was very curious as I had never seen it on my back. It was about the size of a five pence piece… very small.
I have been told that I must keep the dressing dry for 24 hours. Also I must sleep on my stomach for a few nights while the wound heals. The area is itching quite a bit, so I guess it’s healing.
Mum has suggested that I stay off school tomorrow and then see how I feel on Monday morning. I guess I’m gonna be a lazy bum and lounge around in my pyjamas all day, while I pig out on a lot of Chocolate ice cream watching a DVD box set of “Friends”. Hehe… yep… sounds like a good idea!
Have a good weekend everyone.

This time of the year is magical for me. I just love everything about Christmas. I like to watch the old films shown on T.V, which are only shown during December. Some of my favourites are “It’s a Wonderful Life”, “The Santa Clause” and “White Christmas”
The preparation of the turkey, the wonderful smells that come from the kitchen then sitting down to share Christmas Dinner with my loved ones, is great because there is a special feeling of togetherness.
There are the Christmas cards received and sent out to friends old and new. Decorating the Christmas tree is always a hassle to move from the attic, with its baubles and tinsel. But it always looks wonderful and makes the living room feel warm and cosy. Putting the star at the very top of the tree is very special too. It gives you a very satisfied feeling knowing that the job is done.
It is always nice to hear the carol singers, and the special songs associated with this season.
All the things I have mentioned make the season happy and fun. But we must not forget what Christmas is really about, the birth of baby Jesus in the stable at Bethlehem.
Usually on the last day of term before the Christmas term, my school holds a concert. Children from the local Special school come along, and sing songs from their play for us. Also our teachers dress up and perform in their own Christmas pantomime. What a hoot!
Yesterday, I decided to go to Cardiff to start my Christmas shopping. I did most of it. I only have two more presents to buy, something for my uncle and mother.
I browsed around many shops. But I spent most of my time in a shop called T.K. Maxx. My uncle said it was one of his favourite shops. Apparently, he hasbought many birthday and Christmas presents from the store.
I walked in and let out a big sigh. All I could see was shelves of this, racks of that. My initial reaction was “Oh My God, will I actually find anything here?”
But undaunted I made my way into the store. I was determined this Christmas shopping was going to be done today. I looked at this and that there was so much to choose from I hardly knew where to start! This year, I was given no hints either – so that made the task even more difficult.
You can pick up some good bargains if you look in the right places. All you need is a little bit of patience!
I have discovered you need plenty of that when you shopping for Christmas presents. It is hard to think what the person would like. That gives me a big headache, but all the agonising decisions are worth it when you see the person’s smile as they open your present on Christmas morning.
