Blogmas Snap #25 | Onesie Fun

Hi World!

What are Blogmas Snaps, you ask? Click HERE.

Oh em gee. It's the last Blogmas Snap! Here's me in a onesie and a beanie. I've been asking for a onesie for a while and now I've got one (thanks mom!). And the beanie, which is great, was made by my very good friend Elaine. I love them both because they were given to me by people I love and they'll keep me warm and cozy during the winter.

Yup. Rockin' that onesie. I'm actually in it right now. It's so comfy! I'll definitely be looking for more in the future. I really want one of those adorable animal ones.

Thank you so much to everyone who tuned in to these Blogmas Snaps! I hope you've enjoyed reading these posts as much as I've loved writing them for you!

Have a very Merry Christmas or if you don't celebrate it, then I hope you have a wonderful winter day!

Blogmas Snap #24 | Christmas Eve Mass Shenanigans

Hi World!

What are Blogmas Snaps, you ask? Click HERE.

Whoa! This marks the penultimate post of this year's Blogmas Snaps! And it's an early one too! This picture was taken at my church's Christmas Eve mass. It was crowded like it is every year, so my family had to go outside. When I saw these three pillars/columns and saw that me and my siblings make three, I thought that it would be cute to take a picture like this, which each of us behind a pillar in order of age. It didn't turn out quite like I wanted (me and my brother are a bit farther away than I pictured we would be), but I still think it's a nice picture.

This was a sneaky little snap I took during mass. We were outside and all the chairs were occupied. My mom had heels on so luckily, a chair opened up later and my mom was able to sit down. My sister sat on her lap and I noticed that they were both wearing pretty flower crowns. I thought that this was a precious mommy-daughter moment. I'm really like this picture and I'm glad I got to capture this.

What do you do on Christmas Eve?

Blogmas Snap #23 | Spongebob Gingerbread House

Hi World!

What are Blogmas Snaps, you ask? Click HERE.

Behold. The masterpiece that is the Spongebob Gingerbread House. Yesterday, I told you that I was going to have a party with friends. Well, this snap was taken there. One of us brought a kit for the gingerbread house and the eight of us did little things to assemble it. Here is my friend posing with the final product. Looks good right? Well, it probably doesn't taste as well as it looks. We didn't eat it because the icing had the consistency of Play-Doh. Yum. But it did its job holding the house together.

The friend party was so much fun! I had never done a Secret Santa with friends before. The person I chose was happy with what I got them and I was happy with what my Secret Santa gave me. I brought lumpia to the party, which are Filipino fried egg rolls, and everyone loved them! The party was from noon to four, so after lunch, we exchanged gifts. After that, we made the gingerbread house and played some Just Dance, which I love!

Today was a good day. :) Hope yours was too!

Can you believe that tomorrow is Christmas Eve and that there's only two Blogmas Snaps left? I hope you've liked them so far! I've loved blogging this month!

Blogmas Snap #22 | Wrapping Presents

Hi World!

What are Blogmas Snaps, you ask? Click HERE.

I wrapped my presents today! Well, I wrapped two (technically four). The other two were just placed in bags that I later stuffed with tissue paper. Not gunna lie, I'm not a professional gift wrapper, but if you look at it from here, the stack of three on the left looks great! I'm rubbish at the side part of the wrapping. And my mom wasn't really home today to show me how to do it properly so... I improvised. The yarn really ties it together though. The stack is for my Secret Santa that I'm doing with friends. Our party is tomorrow and I hope she likes what I got her!

I have three more presents to wrap and a couple cards to write. Almost done!

Here's a cute little happy selfie with me and my sister. She likes to make her gifts, so as I was wrapping, she was crafting.

 And here's a goofier one. This kinda reminds me of that one emoji (you know the one) and Miranda Sings. Side note: How 'bout them holiday hats?

Are all your presents wrapped? Also, do you wrap them or stuff 'em all in bags?

Blogmas Snap #21 | Finished Christmas Shopping!

Hi World!

What are Blogmas Snaps, you ask? Click HERE.

I will admit that today's snap is a bit boring. I didn't really do much today, other than go to church. These are the bags of all the Christmas shopping I've done. It may not look like much, but it's because I haven't had much money lately. I just had enough to buy presents for my immediate family and some of my closest friends. I love shopping for people during the holidays, but I never have enough money to get what I want to give people. Anywho, today I finished all of my Christmas shopping! This afternoon, I ordered my last presents online. Hopefully, they get here on time! I paid for two-day shipping so... fingers crossed.

Were you productive with your holiday shopping this year, or did you procrastinate like me?

Blogmas Snap #20 | Christmas Shopping With The Bestie

Hi World!

What are Blogmas Snaps, you ask? Click HERE.

Today I went to the mall with my best friend to do some Christmas shopping. As we were walking in we saw what we looked like snow in the distance. Snow? In California? *cue the Ariana Grande song* But what we thought was snow was actually soap bubbles spouting from above. They had a little tube on the top of one of the buildings that was shooting out a steady stream of bubbles over everyone. When I found that they were bubbles, I started to catch them in my hands. My friend actually blew one and it blasted into my mouth. Soap in the throat = me coughing for the next half hour. It was ridiculous. I made her taste the bubbles too.

Here's my bestie. She's adorable and I love her. This was next to the Christmas tree at the mall we went to. Inside the tree is where Santa took pictures with the kiddies.

I had fun hanging out today. Going Christmas shopping together at a mall has been our tradition since 2012 for us. Hopefully next year, even though we'll probably be at different colleges, we'll still get to continue this tradition. Usually, we go to a different mall, but this year we tried a new one because one of her favorite restaurants, Tender Greens, was at this one, and she's been wanting to take me for a while now. Lemme tell you, it was delicious. I admit that I was a little skeptical at first considering it's a healthy eating kind of restaurant (which I'm all for, but ya know taste-wise it can go either way), but I ended up loving it. We both got the same order: a hot plate with Salt and Pepper Chicken and the Romaine Hearts Salad. There was also like garlic bread and mashed potatoes. I sadly didn't take pictures of the food or the places, which was really nice! Part of this is because we were highly engaged in conversation and part of it is that (let's be real here...) I'm not the best blogger. Sorry. Anywho, she's one of my favorite people to talk to. We're similar, but she has such a different, interesting perspective on things than I do. It's always a good time when we're together. She makes me happy :)

Do you have any holiday traditions that you do with your friends?

Blogmas Snap #19 | Competitive Siblings

Hi World!

What are Blogmas Snaps, you ask? Click HERE.

For about four hours today, my siblings and I played Wii Sports Resort. We haven't played this game in a long time now, so it was really exciting to pick it up again. The game is great and so much fun to play with family or friends. It's just a grand ole time!

Today's snap consists of my siblings dueling in the swordplay section of the game. It's one of our favorite parts to play. All three of us get super into it and it's actually quite dangerous to go near any of us when we're wielding our "swords."

Along with the danger of being in our proximity, my siblings and I tend to be really competitive towards each other. Here we have my brother intently focused on the game, contemplating his next strike against my sister. She, on the other, hand, is just laughing and smiling away... for now...

This is what happens when she loses. She collapses to the floor and just kinda stays there for a while. Behold my brother's pose of victory.

And this is what it looks like when my brother loses. He launches himself on the couch, while my sister triumphantly grins. We're all so dramatic when we win and when we lose that it's actually hilarious. We laugh at ourselves the whole time because really, it's all just good fun. I love my siblings :)

What fun things have you done today?

Blogmas Snap #18 | Green Tea & Honey

Hi World!

What are Blogmas Snaps, you ask? Click HERE.

Tonight, I had a nice warm cup of green tea. I normally don't drink green tea unless I'm sick, but sometimes when I feel like having something hot to drink, it's one of my go-to choices. Plus, considering the cold weather and that it's flu season, the green tea wouldn't hurt my body, with all its antioxidants and other good stuff. I usually go with the Lipton brand tea.

Here's my general routine for making tea:

1. Get mug (it's usually one of these blue ones)
2. Fill mug with water
3. Heat in microwave for 2 minutes and 13 seconds (why? I don't really know.)
4. Take mug out of microwave
5. Steep tea bag for 5ish minutes (I usually forget about it so it's actually a lot longer. Oops.)
6. Stir in 2 spoonfuls of honey
7. Let sit 'til it's not hot enough to burn your lips/tongue
8. Drink up!

Do you drink tea and have a weird little routine that you go through every time?

Blogmas Snap #17 | Decorating The Christmas Tree

Hi World!

What are Blogmas Snaps, you ask? Click HERE.

Here it is! Behold this year's Christmas tree. It has lights, ornaments, garlands, and of course, a star on top. My family alternates between two types of ornaments every year. Last year, our ornaments were the balls and baubles that you usually see on Christmas trees. This year, we are using the ornaments that we made as crafts when we were kids and other random pieces to hang on the tree. I love the baubles because they are traditional and immediately remind people of Christmas, but the crafts have that personal touch to them that warms my heart. They make me feel nostalgic and it's fun to see the changes in everyone throughout the years on the ornaments with pictures.

This album is my tree decorating soundtrack. It's been our tradition for so many years now. As you can see, it features the Disney stars that made my childhood: Hannah Montana, the Cheetah Girls, the Jonas Brothers... I just loved Disney Channel growing up. The album has two of my all-time favorite Christmas songs are on it: "Home for the Holidays" by Keke Palmer and "Greatest Time of Year" by Aly & AJ. I listen to them every year and continue to love them. Fun fact: I once choreographed a dance for a Christmas family performance to "Home for the Holidays." Ah, the memories.

I took the first two pictures today, but these next two were the ones taken on my mom's phone. I finally got to download them and it turns out I didn't take as many pictures as I thought. Oops. I posted one other picture on my Instagram for #TransformationTuesday that had me and an ornament with a picture of me when I was around five years old.

This is just a cute snap of me and my sister. We were the ones who decorated the tree this year. My brother wasn't being very festive and apparently had homework to do and my parental units were busy doing things too. We didn't mind too much though. Decorating the tree is so much fun! It brings me all the festive feels.

My mom took this last picture as me and my sister placed the star on the tree. Lemme tell ya, it was quite the struggle... but we did it! Doesn't the tree look great? Also, how about those Santa hats with reindeer antlers?

You all probably have your tree up by now or at least have some decorations set up right? Please send me your pictures and spread the festive feels by tagging me on Twitter or Instagram using #BlogmasSnaps. I would love to see them!

Hope you all had a wonderful day :)

Blogmas Snap #16 | Simple Wintery Pleasures

Hi World!

What are Blogmas Snaps, you ask? Click HERE.

It's been raining again and I couldn't be happier! It's really starting to become winter in sunny SoCal. I took this snap from a window at one of my local libraries when I was taking a break from homework. The dampened tiles, the rich green of the bushes and the leaves, the gloomy gray sky... I love it all! Cold weather = sweater weather and I have been waiting a quite a while for it. It's odd though because I don't particularly like rain. I'm not about gettting drenched and walking around in wet clothes. And wet socks? Don't even get me started. *shudders* However, when you're inside on a rainy day, you have an excuse to bundle up with sweaters and blankets, wear fuzzy socks, drink some hot chocolate/tea/apple cider (which is what I did when I got home from school), and watch some TV or YouTube videos. Rainy days have their pros and cons like most, if not all things in life, but right now, I'm a fan of them.

Today at lunch, my friend threw a little present at me. Literally. I sat down and it landed in front of me. Anywho, it's my first present of the holiday season! I was really excited. I like that it was wrapped in festive wrapping paper and that it was basically a little bundle of joy (except it wasn't a baby).

Inside were two Dove chocolates (which are heavenly by the way) and a little 2014 snowflake ornament. She makes these ornaments every year, with the corresponding year number. I think I have one for the past three or four years. This one might be my last because, after I graduate, I might not ever see this person again! I'm not ready for college. *cries* When I got home, I promptly unwrapped the present to find these goodies and proceeded to immediately devour the chocolate and hang the ornament on my tree.

What little surprises or simple pleasures have you experienced today?

Blogmas Snap #15 | Christmas Jr.

Hi World!

What are Blogmas Snaps, you ask? Click HERE.

Okay. I know I said I would post those pictures of my Christmas tree, but my mom has been dealing with family matters lately and, as a result, I have not had a chance to download the pictures from her phone. Sorry! I'll post them soon! In the meantime, here's a fake baby Christmas tree. Shall we call it Christmas Jr.? We shall. Everyone, this is Christmas Jr. Christmas Jr. says hello and that you all look beautiful today.

Accompanying Christmas Jr. is a cute little bear with a bow that is not proportional to its body. In the background, you get a little look into our family room. Complete with a large rug over a carpet, pink yoga ball, laptop, TV, fan, Hello Kitty whiteboard (which you can see HERE), and stacks of CDs and DVDs, it's a grand place to hang.

Hope you all had a wonderful Monday!

Blogmas Snap #14 | Rudolph? Is That You?

Hi World!

What are Blogmas Snaps, you ask? Click HERE.

Here we have a goofy little snap of me and my sister that I took while we were decorating the house today. We found festive hats and my sister decided to strap a Rudolph nose on me (probably because the Santa hat that I have on has reindeer antlers that you can't see... I'll show you another time). It lights up, as you can see. Yay for holiday hats and accessories!

Who wore it better:  Lexx or Rudolph?

This was taken on my mom's phone (which I believe is the Samsung Galaxy S4) because I ran out of memory on my iPhone. I took lots of other pictures that I'll be sure to share with you tomorrow. All the other pictures were taken on her phone and I didn't have time to send them to myself before she left for work. You'll get to see our tree fully decked out! The background of this picture is a little sneak peek.

Hope you all had a fun-filled weekend!

Blogmas Snap #13 | Me And Colleen On The Big Screen

Hi World!

What are Blogmas Snaps, you ask? Click HERE.

Like me, Colleen Ballinger, who you may know as the bootiful Miranda Sings, is doing Vlogmas. Now, because of homework and school, I've not had time to watch anyone's Vlogmas videos. But today after waking up, I decided I wanted to watch at least one person's Vlogmas before it was actually Christmas. I chose Colleen because her videos always manage to make me smile. I've watched Colleen and Miranda for about a year or so and loved both. Colleen is such a positive soul, who makes me laugh as either herself or her alter ego. Also, her videos for Vlogmas aren't 15 plus minutes long like everyone else's. I love my Youtubers and I love Vlogmas, but I ain't got the time for it anymore.

Anywho, I woke up and watched the first few days of her Vlogmas on my phone. After that, I ate breakfast and opted to watch the remaining days (up to the current one) on my TV. I was not disappointed. I laughed so hard during the vlogs. Her and her fiancee, Josh, are hilarious.

Today's snap is of me and Colleen's beautiful faces. We are attractive humans. Colleen is actually gorgeous though. In this part of the today's vlog, I think she was mimicking a car horn. Oh, and I love that she plays the little Tori Kelly tidbit from Pentatonix's "Winter Wonderland/Be Happy" for her Vlogmas end card. I jam in my falsetto to it every time.

Are you keeping up with Vlogmas for your favorite Youtubers?... Or are you struggling like me?

Blogmas Snap #12 | Ariana at Christmastime

Hi World!

What are Blogmas Snaps, you ask? Click HERE.

I have always loved listening to Christmas music. As you can tell if you've been keeping up with my Blogmas Snaps, I'm all about getting into the festive spirit. Today, I wanted to share with you some music that I've been loving lately. In my August Favorites, I mentioned that I loved Ariana Grande's album "Yours Truly." Ever since listening to that album, I have fallen in love with her music. She's so much fun to sing along to, with all of her riffs. I definitely get some practice with my falsetto lol. I loved this year's "My Everything" as well. So naturally, with a growing love for Ariana's music, I found out that she had released Christmas music last year and I was thrilled. This is her "Christmas Kisses" EP and it features two originals, "Love Is Everything" and "Snow In California," plus two covers, "Last Christmas" and "Santa Baby." The covers are great and I especially like the little twist she put on "Last Christmas," the originals are my favorite. I just love it all. Now, I have some Ariana to play all year round! Haha.

I'm actually listening to this as I type. When I heard that Ariana was releasing Christmas music this year too, it was like Christmas came early! I was getting more and more music from her and I couldn't be more pleased. This one sounds like a follow up to "Last Christmas" because basically she goes from singing about a boy who broke her heart the year before to, in this song, asking Santa to let her know if her current boo will still be with her next year, so that she can spend the holidays without a broken heart. I think I've said this a lot, but I love it. I love it all. Ariana Grande is my jam.

Have you found a new favorite artist this year? Also, let me know of some good Christmas songs! I'm always willing to listen to some cool holiday tunes.

Blogmas Snap #11 | Sparkling Icicles

Hi World!

What are Blogmas Snaps, you ask? Click HERE.

This is last year's winter candle: "Sparkling Icicles" from Bath & Body Works. During this time last year was when I first started to get into candles. It began with this one, which makes it pretty special to me. I like that candles can add feelings of warmth and comfort to a room and make it smell wonderful. Especially during the seasons of autumn and winter, candles can really make you feel so seasonal. I'm not sure if you can tell because the wax is a shade of light blue similar to the rest of the colors in this picture (though faded and grayish), but I've pretty much burned it to the bottom.

It burns a nice, light scent. I'm not quite sure how to describe the smell, but some people have told me it reminds them of marshmallows. The official description on the bottom of the candle says, "As sparkling as the ice at the local skating pond, this fragrance features a citrus bouquet, bergamot and a touch of holiday moss." Icicles don't really have a smell, but I guess this works haha. "Sparkling Icicles" is available this year as well. You can find it HERE. They've redone the art and decked out the container, which I think looks so cool!

I need a new winter candle. My autumn one is almost out, and considering Christmas is getting closer and closer, I need one stat! Maybe I'll go candle shopping with a friend this weekend.

Candles. Yay or nay? And do you have any favorite scents or smells?

Blogmas Snap #10 | Meet Jasper

Hi World!

What are Blogmas Snaps, you ask? Click HERE.

This is Jasper! Isn't he adorable? I got him years ago from Build-A-Bear and obviously, I needed him to be in the festive spirit at the time. Check out those adorable reindeer pajamas and stocking with a Christmas/fairy light snowflake pattern. I love it! For years, he's just been sleeping, err... hibernating shall we say, in one of my drawers. I found him a couple of days ago, but today I woke him from his long slumber and now he's ready to party for the holidays.

Here he is casually sitting on my couch. Look! He even has his own little house. It's an igloo. Igloo is such a weird looking word. And it's kinda fun to say too. I like it. Anywho, yes, I shamelessly set this up for a Blogmas Snap photoshoot.

Whoa. A third snap! How cray of me. But oh em gee. How cute is he just chilln' in the igloo?! See what I did there? I'm hilarious, I know. Haha, he has a little less room than he'd probably like, but he seems comfortable regardless. I like how he's just just peeking out with those puppy dog eyes.

It's been a while since I played with a stuffed animal. This was a nice little blast from the past.

Do you have any special stuffed animals? Have they put on their holiday attire yet? Send me pictures on Twitter or Instagram and be sure to tag me and use #BlogmasSnaps.

Blogmas Snap #9 | Creepers In The Tree

Hi World!

What are Blogmas Snaps, you ask? Click HERE.

Yesterday, my dad took our tree out of the garage, but didn't assemble it until today. Yes, we have a fake tree and I like it. We always have a tree ready for the holidays and it lasts for years! Also, we don't have to deal with the shedding of pine needles that get everywhere. The only thing that I think we miss by not having a real one is the delightful pine smell that just screams Christmas. A candle can fix that problem though :) 

Here are my weird siblings just hangin' 'round the tree. Check out my brother creepin' in the back. Cute. We have yet to decorate, but fear not! That's what this weekend is for. I'm so excited! Decorating the Christmas tree is one of my favorite parts of the holiday season. I'll go into this more when this year's tree is decked out. That'll probably be my Blogmas Snap on either Saturday or Sunday of this week.

This is another quick picture of the two of them messing about the tree. My adorkable siblings that I love.

Have you gotten your tree yet? And tell me, do you prefer the real or fake trees?

Blogmas Snap #8 | Caramel Apple Cider

Hi World!

What are Blogmas Snaps, you ask? Click HERE.

Tonight I decided I wanted a nice, warm drink. I opted for apple cider. Yay for seasonal drinks! Recently, we were a given a Keurig from my grandma because she didn't want it anymore and when we ventured into Bed, Bath, & Beyond a couple weeks ago, my mom spotted these caramel apple cider K-cups. These are great way to make use of the Keurig due to the fact that my family, as a whole, doesn't drink a ton of coffee. The apple cider essentially tastes like liquid apple pie (yum) and it smells divine when its brewing. Needless to say, it was a cup of cozy, delicious feels.

Are there any K-cups that you recommend that are not coffee? I'd love to know! Leave me suggestions in the comments.

xx

P.S. If you open the K-cup after it's done brewing, the inside kinda looks like it could be apple pie filling, but don't let it's looks deceive you! Me and my sister had a little taste when we first tried the cider and it's nasty. Would not recommend. Plus, I don't think you're supposed to consume the contents of the K-cup anyway. Lol.

Blogmas Snap #7 | A View Between The Trees

Hi World!

What are Blogmas Snaps, you ask? Click HERE.

This morning, my family was busy doing things and I didn't have a ride to church. As a result, I had to walk. My church isn't that far away from home, and I love walking, so I didn't mind the light exercise. It's good for you right? Anywho, on my way to the church, I spotted this lovely view of some houses atop a hill in between the trees. As you can see, it still looks like spring/summer here. I really like all of the natural colors in this picture, especially with the mountains peeking out in the distance against the light blue sky. It's so beautiful, but like I've said before, it's nice to have a change of weather every now and then. Ya know, just to experience something different and have a little variety. Pretty sure I've said this before too, but when I get older and have some money to spend, I'd love to visit places like the UK that have actual seasons. For now, I'm happy in sunny SoCal.

Hope you all had a great weekend!

Blogmas Snap #5 | Donuts!

Hi World!

What are Blogmas Snaps, you ask? Click HERE.

For the second time this week, my mom had some yummy treats waiting for me and my siblings. This time it was donuts! I haven't eaten a donut in quite a while now, so they were especially delicious. This picture was taken after I basically inhaled a Maple Bar (it WAS next to the chocolate one, but it is now navigating its way throughout my body) and the other half of the donut in the upper left corner. Then, after dinner, I ate one of the powdered, chocolate-icing filled ones. All the sugar.

Hope you all had a great week. I, for one, am ready for the weekend. Anything interesting planned? Lemme know in the comments!

Blogmas Snap #4 | Rainwater Reflection

Hi World!

What are Blogmas Snaps, you ask? Click HERE.

After a couple days of rain, or rather just a change of weather, the sun has returned. My dad likes to set up containers like these to catch the water when it rains. This is but one of them. He typically sets up multiple empty trash cans and gallon bottles. All of them usually get filled to the brim! 

When the rain goes away to come back another day, he uses the contents of the containers to water the plants.

Me and my sister ventured outside to check out the containers and decided to take a quick little snap of our reflection in this bucket. A natural mirror selfie if you will, haha. I like the palm tree leaves that wrap around the top. And look at the blue, clear sky! So pretty. Though I do wish for more seasonal weather, I appreciate the fact that we don't live with blizzards and frozen everything. I want some colder weather, just not that cold.

How's the weather where you live?

Hi World!

What are Blogmas Snaps, you ask? Click HERE.

When I got home from school today, my mom had some festive treats waiting for me and my siblings. She buys these for us every now and then for special occasions. Thanks mom! During holidays, Russell Stover has themed chocolate-covered marshmallows. For Christmas, they have cute little Santa ones! They are delicious and make me a happy boy. We usually get these from our local CVS.

Are there any festive treats that you eat this time of year?

Blogmas Snap #2 | A Rainy Day

Hi World!

What are Blogmas Snaps, you ask? Click HERE.

Today was a rainy day in SoCal. As someone who is tired of the ever-present sun and warm weather here, I was overjoyed at the change of temperature. It's finally starting to feel like California winter haha. Here's a little snap of a lovely view and the gloomy, overcast sky with a dampened empty street. I'm so ready for some sweater weather.

Oh, look! Two snaps in one day! And this one is of my face. Lucky you! ;) I was actually able to wear a jacket without the need to take it off halfway through the day. Usually, the weather shifts from something like 50 to 80ish by lunchtime. As it rained today, I got to wear my hood. So, naturally, on this rare Southerm California occasion, I took a selfie with it.

Hope you all had a great day!

Blogmas Snap #1 | Mr. Buble

Hi World!

Happy December! So you know how a lot of vloggers do Vlogmas (where you vlog every day til Christmas) in December? Yeah? Cool. Well I've decided that this year I'd do this thing that I'm going to call Blogmas Snaps. Basically I'm combining Blogmas (blogging every day til Christmas) and The 30 Day Snap that Louise, aka Sprinkle of Glitter, did last year in June. I know I don't blog all that often, so I thought this could be a fun way to blog more and get into the festive spirit! Basically, from today until the 25th, I will be sharing a little picture that I've taken with my iPhone 4 every day and telling you a little bit about it. These should be nice little snippets of my life to look back on later.

Today's snap is of Michael Buble's Christmas album. I'm sure you've heard about this album before. I've seen it on the iTunes charts for years during the holiday season and finally bought it last year. It's definitely become one of my favorite Christmas albums... I love his voice. A couple songs that I adore from the album are "Cold December Night" and "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)."

Do you own this album too? If you do, what songs do you love on it?

Alrighty, that's it for today. I think it'd be so cool if you did this with me! If you don't have a blog, then post your snaps on Instagram or Twitter. Tag me and use #BlogmasSnaps so I can see them! See ya tomorrow! :)
