Merry Christmas! uh..26th December. I hope you had a good day!
I was trying to decide if I should do a 'What I got for Christmas' post and after many hours of baking cupcakes I decided that I'd grab all of the cute things and see if they looked good or not (#excuseforshoddylighting).

Christmas as a whole isn't a huge deal in our house and this year I just haven't been feeling Christmas-sy? I spent a lot of December frustrated because I couldn't find any decent Christmas Cards. Still minorly annoyed at how not good the ones I ended up using were. Is it too late to have a re-do? I just realised we also didn't do advent calendars this year...is this what getting old is like?
But yes, Christmas isn't a huge deal in our house but it does mark the end of the *not being able to buy yourself things because others want to buy stuff for you* thing that I have going on from September onwards. Thanks me for being born in October. Thanks Adam for letting me have TS4 Get Together early.
and that is definitely something to celebrate.

I like reading posts about things people get, they're usually really interesting with tonnes of pretty pictures and funny captions. That and reading everyone's version of "it's not gifts that matter, it's the thought put into said gifts and the spending time with family that matters". We all know that. We don't care. Just tell us what you got to fulfil our curiosity and general nosiness.
That being said, this post is gonna suck because I can't be bothered to take photos of everything I got because I spent the whole evening baking and all I really wanna do is eat cupcakes and watch Let's Plays of Cities Skylines. #doIgetaspecialsnoflakecardyet
I am gonna do a list though- because that is something I can do. Only naming things you can see on the pictures counts as a full list right?

quick note, I got a tonne of makeup probably because a few months back I realised my eyeshadow palette was 3 years old and my mum told me off because u only get eyeballs once hannah don't ruin them with out of date eyeshadow.

○ Benefits No. 1 Selection box ○
possibly better than chocolate- we will see

I got DJ KK and I am v happy right now.

this wasn't actually a christmas present but my parents buy all my baking supplies so it kinda counts.

Ok, its rainbow coloured and I like it a lot.

Is the era of the ugly curtains finally over????STAy tuned
