Movies to watch this festive season

It's almost Christmas! I can't believe it's that time of year again, it feels like this year has gone so fast.

Christmas trees and decorations are starting to go up in shopping centres, cities and households and people have started their gift shopping.

New movies have arrived in cinemas and Netflix and this is what I will be talking about in this post. I am going to share some of my favourite Christmas movies which I'm sure most of you have seen or at least heard about.  If you haven't, definitely check them out!


Home Alone is my favourite, I watch it every Christmas. Macaulay Culkin plays eight-year old Kevin McCallister who is accidently left behind by his family who fly to Paris for their holiday. Initially, Kevin enjoys being home alone but soon has to contend with two burglars. 

There are four movies in the Home Alone Franchise but thei first two are the best, in my opinion. 



This movie from 2004 is hilarious. Christmas with the Kranks is about a couple who decides to skip Christmas one year because their daughter is away, which angers their neighbors. It tars Tim Allen and Jamie Lee Curtis.

The Santa Clause stars Tim Allen who plays divorced dad Scott Calvin who takes care of his son Charlie on Christmas Eve. Scott becomes Santa Clause when he accidentally causes the death of a man wearing a Santa suit and he and Charlie are transported to the North Pole and they have a magical adventure. There are three movies in this series. 



Vince Vaughn and Reese Witherspoon play Brad and Kate, a couple who try to avoid their dysfunctional families at Christmas by going on overseas on vacation but, after getting trapped at the airport when flights are cancelled because of fog and being interviewed by a news crew, their families find out they are home for the holidays. Brad and Kate have to visit all four of their divorced parents homes on Christmas day.  Highly recommend that you see this if you haven't already.

Virtual Stop #1: Lymington - A Seaside Gem Discovered by Chance

Welcome to my virtual travel series, where I explore beautiful corners of the world without leaving my bed. Inspired by TikTok livestreamers and walking tour videos, these posts capture what I see, feel and learn as I journey through new places from afar.  I wasn't planning to visit Lymington - not virtually, not in any way. I had never heard of it before watching my favorite singing buskers livestream from the quaint little town in the UK and now I'm captivated. The charm of Lymington unfolded before my eyes: Cobbled pathways, rows of boats bobbing gently at the marina and friendly locals to stop and enjoy the music. I experienced it from my bed.  There is something so welcoming about the town, The people passing by weren't just polite - they were supportive. Some clapped, others left kind words or a few coins, and a few even stayed for songs. There are three ladies who go often to support the guys. They have all been following them on TikTok for a while and met each other...

The Prove It Game

The public opinions on Meghan Markle, or Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, are divided. Some love her and most seem to hate her. I admire her in some ways. I just watched an interview she did with podcast host Jamie Kern Lima and something she said resonated with me.  Image from Jamie Kern Lima YouTube.  Here it is: "We spend so much of our lives trying to prove something. You have to prove that you're enough, you have to prove that you're pretty enough, you have to prove that you're smart enough, you have to prove that you're a good wife or a good friend, and I am just so done with the prove it game. When you get to the place where you feel like I don't have to prove anything to you anymore. I don't have to prove that I'm a good person, I don't have to prove that I'm a good wife or mum or friend, I don't have to prove that I work hard. It can be really freeing when you stop playing the prove it game." - Meghan Markle. I completely agree with...

Social Media Ban

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has said that the Australian Government will enact laws to ban children under 16 years of age from social media and here I am sharing my thoughts on this.  Image from The Chapel Hairdressers - Horsham Facebook page  There are many benefits of social media. We can share photos and videos with our families and friends to keep them updated on our lives, instantly communicate with them, have a record of special memories, businesses can promote their products and services, connect with people professionally and do so much more. So many people are working on social media full time as influencers, working with brands and creating content online  and some have even married people they met online.  Social media can also be used as a weapon.   Preteens and teenagers go through puberty, stress about getting good grades at school, do their best to live up to their parents expectations, have many things they are worried about and just wan...
