Hi guys 👋🏻
As promised, here is a special post to mark me doing 10 years of Blogmas.
Blogmas is a festive blog post everyday throughout December, leading up to Christmas day! 25 days, 25 posts.
Here are some of my favourite memories from Blogmas over the years.
2015
My first blogmas! Here are some pictures of us decorating our flat. This was only our second Christmas together in our flat.. and our first one engaged ❤️
2016
2016 was our first Christmas as a married couple, which is the reason I started my blog, (to document our wedding planning and the wedding).
One of our favourite Christmas traditions, that is always covered in Blogmas, is our trip to our local Rock N Roll Panto.
2017
2017 was the first year that I had a Harry Potter themed tree in our flat (in addition to our main tree) I love it.
I also did a ‘Winter themed’ photo collaboration in 2017. People sent me their amazing winter photos and alongside my own I show cased them on my blog page.
2018
In 2018 me and my husband won his work ‘bake off’ competition with this epic and surprisingly easy, but effective Rocky Road Christmas Pudding dessert.
This was the year myself and my oldest nephew put together a Shoebox for the appeal. He did a great job choosing things that he thought a little boy would like.
2019
This was the first year that I had a Harry Potter Lego Advent Calendar. This was epic and I loved seeing what I would get each day to add to the Great Hall Scene.
Me and my university friends visited Winter Wonderland that year. This was really special in hindsight as a few months later, into the new year Covid turned our worlds upside down.
2020
What a year! A very strange one but we made the most if it the best we could. There were restrictions and rules in place but you were allowed out at certain parts of the year.
One of the things we did was go to ‘Hogwarts in the snow’ at the Warner Bros studio tour. We (me and my twin sister) have always wanted to go (obv) but especially in the snow. It was so magical ✨️
2021
2021 was a crisp, wintery affair. We were still enjoying lots of lockdown and post lockdown walks so lots of lovely photography from those.
Me and My twin sister went to a concert st our local theatre – The Magical Music of Harry Potter. The actor who plays Percy Weasley was there, which was cool. He spoke of memories on set as well as introducing various songs throughout the performance.
2022
2022 was the first Christmas after me and my sister joined our book club. I love book club!
I made a cool book themed present for everyone, a book baubles filled with the books we’d read together that yeat.
In this video is a post I shared stating all of my favourite Christmas books, written by my favourite author Heidi Swain.
Books have become an increasingly big part of my blog over the years and you’ll see many Blogmad posts including book lists/reviews/hauls.
2023
I love celebrating and chatting about different Christmas traditions, these are a firm favourite Blogmas post from year on year.
This year we also started doing a few more festive activities. This was us in London, with my Husband andy Uni friend, and her family. We went on a bus tour of the Christmas lights in London. Very impressive.
2024
Again, traditions are a big part of Blogmas and its content. This is my list of ‘Wishes’ for Christmas day, most being pretty much what we do each year.
Me and my Nephews love the cinema and watching films together at ‘RoRo’s Cinema’ this was a special festive screening complete with festive snack boxes and treats. We watched ‘That Christmas’ on Netflix.
2025
This year has been brilliant so far! More to follow 😊
Blogmas Cover Photos
Here are my Blogmas front covers from the last 6 years. I didn’t do them before 2020.
Which is your fave cover?
I hope you’ve enjoyed this little trip down memory lane. It’s been a fun 10 years.
Thank you for following Blogmas 2025 – another year done ✔️
Until Next Time,
Roseanne 🙂
