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.

Welcome back Justice Crew!

                                           Photo credit to @Justicecrewofficial Instagram Justice Crew are a dance and music group who won Australia's Got Talent in 2010 and went on to release many amazing songs including number one hits Boom Boom and Que Sera . After their tour in 2019, they took a long break and now they are back!  I have been a huge fan of them since the beginning and have been to a lot of their shows, so when they announced they were performing a show in February, of course I was excited and attended with my friend. There was a huge crowd there to see them, which surprised a few people, including maybe the guys themselves. After six years, they probably felt rusty, but they were actually amazing as always. It was so cool to see them on stage again and here all the hit songs the number ones and  Everybody. It's so crazy how even now, after six year...

Light in the Darkness

  We all carry a little darkness. Moments we don’t speak of. Storms We face. Shadows we walk through quietly.   But that doesn’t mean our light is gone.   Even on heavy days, when it feels like someone has punched us in the chest, or everything feels hopeless. We work. We care. We laugh. We create. We shine, like the brightest star in the sky.   No matter what happens today – even if it’s messy, or lonely, or full of tears - The sun will rise in the morning. Like it always does. Like we always do.   Because light doesn’t have to shout. Sometimes it just keeps showing up, quietly. One bright beam at a time.

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...
