Christmas Day 

A journal entry for Christmas Day 2022! 

MERRY CHRISTMAS SWEET FRIEND!!!

Eek!!! I can’t believe it’s already Christmas!!! I am so excited! Are you excited?

In this post I am sharing Christmas Day journal updates with you all! I hope you like this little glimpse into my Christmas Day! 

Merry Christmas friends! I hope today (or whenever you read this) was an incredible Christmas!!! 

8:13 am | Christmas Morning 

Good morning friend! I did in fact wake up early (or early on my standards). I woke up at 7am, read the Christmas story in Luke, then came downstairs, turned on my Christmas playlist, and set up Christmas cinnamon rolls! It was messy but so fun and I cannot wait to eat them! 

I just texted my bestie merry Christmas, and now I am writing to you, sitting in my Mickey Mouse PJs, sipping warm Chai Tea, and listening to Taylor Swift’s Christmas Tree Farm!! 

So far it is a perfect Christmas morning! I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas morning! I’ll update y’all later on how the cinnamon rolls came out and presents! 

 10:17 am | Christmas Morning 

We just finished having breakfast & opening presents!!! 

We watched A Charlie Brown Christmas, How The Grinch Stole Christmas, and currently we have Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer playing! 

The cinnamon rolls were AMAZING and we all agree this is the best batch I’ve ever made! It was really fun surprising my family by getting up early and making them cinnamon rolls! After breakfast, we read Luke chapter 2, with all of us (except baby Lion, Max, and Scarlett) reading verses from the chapter! 

Then we opened presents! It was so fun and festive! I think this might just be my favorite Christmas yet! 

What I got: A Nutcracker snow globe (perfect for inspiration while writing Broken Ballerina), 2 big hair bows, a crown-like headband, a pink mug with dancing ballerinas, an Esther Bible study, Cursed by Marissa Meyer, CHOCOLATE, fruit gummies, cozy socks, a feather comforter, and a letter from my sweet sis! 

My favorite present moments: seeing my parents & sister’s reaction to the letters (& gifts) I gave them! Watching Lion scoot around on his new red scooter, ringing the bell all around the house! 

11:13 am | Christmas Morning 

I am now sipping on my iced coffee (no matter what season I will always have iced coffee), and listening to “Milk & Cookies” which is Lion’s favorite song right now (lol). We are starting to clean and prepare for some family to come over soon (we’ll have a Christmas party maybe next week)! 

“Have a holly jolly Christmas! It’s the best time of the year!” 

2:39 pm | Christmas Afternoon 

About an hour ago I read a little bit of The Nutcracker before disappearing upstairs to my writing nook. I just finished writing a new chapter in Broken Ballerina (805 words) and my family is just starting to arrive for Christmas dinner! 

I also had another cinnamon roll and ate some Christmas chocolate plus some bread my dad made. Now I’m going to go back downstairs, away from my writing nook, and say hi to family! 

I will probably publish this soon because the day is starting to slow down. We will be having an early chill dinner pretty soon (in an hour or two) and I’ll make my second cup of tea soon as well. 

5:32 pm | Christmas Evening 

It is after dinner, we have asked family questions and recounted our favorite Christmas memories and gifts! Now we are talking about film & art (no seriously, it is actually fascinating)! 

I just finished my second cup of tea with my new pink ballerina mug! Now we are about to open more family presents and then start winding down for bed! 

I’ll be back after presents and then publish this for all of you! 

7:00 pm | Christmas Evening 

Family is just starting to leave, the lights are dimming, and soon we will be going up to rest. 

I am an introvert so I always need a little time after being with people to recharge and if you were here for my Christmas Eve Eve post, you know how much I love to sleep XD! 

All in all, this was an incredible Christmas Day! It was calm, exciting, relaxing, and perfectly Christmas! I have loved this day, being with family, presents, surprising my family by getting up early to make Christmas cinnamon rolls, reading the Bible story, seeing Lion scoot around on his scooter, eating sweets, and everything else! 

The past two nights after reading, I have been watching This Beautiful Fantastic on Amazon Prime Video and I think I’ll try to finish it tonight (or read more Nutcracker). It's not a Christmas movie but I’m really liking it so far (it's British and about a writer, need I say more? XD). 

Now I’m going to go finish up a last minute Christmas email and post this on my blog! 

Thank you for being a part of my Christmas and reading this glimpse into my day! This was so incredibly fun and I think I want to do another day in my life post soon! Merry Christmas friend! I hope your Christmas was warm, magical, wonderful, and blessed! 

Christmas is the season to remember & celebrate the birth of our Lord, Jesus Christ and be with family and love and find joy! I love you all! MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! I’ll see you later this week!
