Blogmas 2025 ⛄️ Day 3: Christmas light trail

Hi guys 👋🏻

I love Christmas lights so when my mother in law invited us along to our local light trail with herself and some of her friends, how could we say no!

And it was brilliant.

We actually went to this display last year for its inaugural year but it was in a different park in my hometown and it was very expensive. This year the trail was set up in a different park and the layout of the park worked much better for this event. It had a more natural trail with paths as apposed to last year when the lights were in big open areas, which wasn’t quite as effective. They have also made it much more affordable which is great!

There were loads more lights, lovely atmospheric music and smoke to add to the magical vibe. There was also a nice little food court in the middle which served delicious hot chocolates. My mint one was so yummy I had two 😋 🤣

I also liked that you could go around the trail more than once, so we did!

The only annoying thing was the torrential rain haha – not ideal! But it was so wet you kinda just had to get on with it by the end haha. It was still a lovely, festive evening.

So, without further ado, let’s take a look at the trail!

Have you been to a Christmas light trail?

Blogmas 2025 ⛄️ Day 2: My advent calendars 📅 🎄

Hi guys 👋🏻

We’re back here for day two! And we can really get into some festive fun now.

Blogmas starts on December 1st and so does one of my favourite Christmas traditions… advent calendars!!

So, I thought I would share mine with you 😊

I crack my pop up Harry Potter advent calendar out every year! It’s so beautiful. I love the pop up tree and the lovely and festive great hall scene on the base. You open the little windows and get a little Harry Potter themed charm to hang on the tree. 

The first charm for December 1st was Buckbeak the Hippogriff. Lovely.

My husband very kindly got me a Terry’s Chocolate Orange advent calendar. We always buy each other one. I bought him a Lindt one.

I also have a Dairy Milk one that my friend from work very kindly gave me. I’m keeping that one at work to treat myself each day when I get to work 😌

This super cute little traditional picture advent calendar was only £1.49 in a craft shop in town so I thought it would be cute to have this to open too.

And finally, when we were decorating I found this cute Harry Potter advent calendar, that you fill yourself. I bought this a few years ago. When my husband saw it he said he would fill it for me. 😊 Safe to say I won’t need to buy any chocolates in December with 3 little daily chocs available to me haha.

What Advent Calendar/s do you have?

23 days to go!

Until Next Time,
