I love journaling! And I love Christmas! So I chose 5 journal prompts for me to do, and I wanted to share them in case you wanted to do them too.
What are some journal prompts you are doing?
What are some of your must have Christmas songs on your playlist?
I love Christmas time, and I almost love Christmas movies even more. I probably actually do because I watch them year around! Especially the hallmark ones. These are just 10 of the movies that are on my to watch list this year.
The first 2 are superior. After they changed the actors it just wasn’t the same. I will still watch them! But the first 2 are a MUST watch.
Tim Allen as Santa Clause is AMAZING. I do like the first and third one way better than the second one. Just something about it. Some don’t like the third one, but I love Jack Frost.
Something about this movie is just so nostalgic. I like watching this the day before or day of Christmas.
There are other grinch movies that are also acceptable. They’re all good.
I discovered this years ago, and I love it even more than the regular Christmas Carol. It’s a kid movie, but it makes me laugh.
This one is so good if you really want to laugh!!
This movie is so sad, but it is a must watch every Christmas. It makes you remember what is most important in life.
I have actually NEVER seen this movie, but people say it’s a Christmas movie so I want to finally see for myself.
Who doesn’t love Madea?
This one is definitely different than the other ones! Sometimes I like a little thriller.
What are some of your favorite movies to watch around Christmas time?
My mornings usually consist of me staying in bed until I need to get up, change, let the dogs out and then head out the door.
I want to have a slower, more productive morning so I sat down and made myself a short list of things I want to do when I wake up in the mornings.
Typically the first thing I drink is coffee, but I really want to start drinking a glass of water when I first wake up.
I used to do this often before going to work and it would always make me feel refreshed.
I’ve recently started jumping up and down. I want to try to pair 50 of those with a short leg, arm or ab workout.
Journaling out my feelings help, and I do not do it enough. I’ve been wanting to try to start doing morning pages where you wake up and write 3 pages in your journal. I don’t know if I want to do 3 pages, but at least 1 big page.
I love doing this before I start my day! It helps me get more things done quicker instead of doing it all right before bed.
These are 5 things I want to start doing in the morning time before I start my day.
What’s part of your morning routine?
During this festive time of year, I mostly just want to read Christmas books! I have been in such a mood for it here lately. I have already read several, but there are plenty more I want to read that are mostly on kindle unlimited.
Hot Chocolate & Hitmen — Persephone Steele
This was a spicy book containing 3 men & 1 woman. It was well-written in my opinion. I rated it 4 ⭐️.
Christmas at Fox Ridge — Bailey Hannah
I thought this was so cute! It was definitely a hallmark-like book. Perfect for this time of year. I rated it 4 ⭐️.
Vixen’s Guide to Christmas — Chelle Sloan
Another hallmark-like book, but I rated this one 5 ⭐️. It was written so well!
Holiday Hideaway — Mary Kay Andrews
The Naughty List — Jade West
As I was scrolling through KU books, I seen this one and couldn’t resist.
25 Days — Per Jacobsen
This is one of those advent books where you read a chapter a day. I have started this as of December 1st! I’m loving it so far. I first found out about these kind of books through tik tok during October.
King of Christmas — J. E. Rowney
The Christmas Tree Farm — Laurie Gilmore
Stuck at Christmas — Georgia Coffman

Spirit of the Season — Fern Michaels
This is one book I have the physical copy of. I got it through blind date with a book a couple weeks ago.
I know I probably won’t get through all these Christmas books, but I am going to try my best!! They all caught my interest as I was scrolling through what kindle unlimited books there were available to read.
It’s the first day of blogmas, and the first thing I like to do is set my goals and intentions for the month. I love making lists. It makes me feel more put together and with this being the last month of the year, I want to go into 2026 getting things done.
December has always been my time to feel more put together before the new year. I have done Vlogmas for years now, but this is my first time doing blogmas.
What are your goals and intentions for December?
