Christmas Memories With The Body Shop + Win An Advent Calendar!!

the body shop advent calendar giveaway

the body shop advent calendar giveaway

Growing up, my sisters and I always did our Christmas shopping together.  My parents would take us to Oxford Street in London to see the trees and lights and we would do all of our shopping in one day.   It was a rare time we were allowed to break off from our parents to go and get my mum’s Christmas present.  There was a huge The Body Shop store and they let you make your own gift baskets.  You chose whether you got to use a tin or basket, the colours, the shredded tissue paper, everything.  We each chose several items to go into our personalized basket, watched it get put together and wrapped way better that we could manage,  It always felt so special giving her the huge basket (or hat box so she could keep it) on Christmas morning.

Christmas was always a big deal in our family.  On the night before Christmas Eve, the women would stay home and drink wine while they wrapped gifts.  The men would get sent out to do something together and get out from under their feet.  Plus, as the oldest of the children, I got paid to look after all my cousins and make sure they were not peeking at the wrapping.  Sounds terribly sexist to me now, but it worked and everyone enjoyed it.

This year doesn’t feel very festive with all that has gone on in recent months.  I am trying to get into the holiday spirit but I am feeling kinda grinchy.  So hopefully my various advent calendars including the 24 Days of Beauty from The Body Shop, get me more in the mood.  Plus, I have one to giveaway!

We walk those ones.

    After reading your review on Celestial Seasonings sugar cookie sleigh ride tea, I noticed that it contains gluten, which I am not supposed to have. Usually, as soon as I hear that something tastes good, I’ll discover it contains gluten. Not being able to have certain things in my diet is what made me turn to tea as something I can have so I will try to enjoy the festive season without certain naughty things.

    My family has tons of traditions but my favourite one is taking Christmas portraits as a family! We have a lot of family back in the Philippines and we always take portraits to send home in our Christmas cards. Growing up, we used to just go to Wal-mart, but for the last 6 or so years, we have been trying to up our game – going on hikes in the forest, going out in a small snowstorm, etc. It’s always so much fun and absolutely crazy, but then we ended up with amazing photos and great memories!
