Christmas and other December adventures

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list, friends! I’ve been going back and forth between writing about last month and this month. I thought I would do one more post to write about all the December things I have to write about before moving on to my things I love post, so with all that being said, let’s do this!!

Christmas Eve

This was the day that I did my all my Christmas celebrations. I had work the next day. The first part of the celebration was going to my cousin’s house. We decorated gingerbread houses and did I white elephant game. I got a Barns and Noble gift card. I also got a peppermint shaped pillow. It was good to spend time with family. At home that night, we exchanged gifts. I got a new camera , a blanket that glows in the dark, and an American Girl book.

Christmas Day – On Christmas day, I had work. I got coffee before work, and on my break, I bought a candy cane, a bead kit, a wind-up toy, and more!

Barns and Noble – On the day after Christmas, I went to Barnes and Noble to use my gift card. It tuned out that the store we went to was closing, so everything was on sale. I got a coloring book that came with stickers, a set of book marks that you can color, an American Girl book, a Ben Shapiro book, and more ! I was sad to see that the store was closing, but I was happy that I got some great deals!!

Local party store shopping fun

December 28th

I went to my favorite local party supplies store one more time before 2024 ended. I got sticker books and some very cute Christmas items. I love this store so much it has been one of my favorite places for many years.

December 18th thrift shopping and toy store

On this day I went shopping at two of my favorite local stores. At the thrift store, I got an American Girl activity book, a Build a Bear bag, some stamps, another book that I’ve already started reading, and a cute plush bear. After that I went to the toy store and I got this stationary set that I had seen before. I also got stickers , some squishy toys, a hair bow, and some Barbie Shrinky Dinks. It was a great toy store shopping trip. That day at work, I got a box of little Squishmallows.

Thank you for reading.

My Christmas Eve! Blogmas day 24

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list, friends, and Merry Christmas! I hope you all are having a wonderful day with your loved ones! The focus of this blog post  is going to be about what I did yesterday. I started my Christmas Eve off by going to get coffee, and then I went to church. I loved being at church on Christmas Eve! My favorite part was getting to sing Christmas songs. I really liked that Christmas Eve was on a Sunday this year. Going to church was a good reminder to focus on the true meaning of the holiday. With that being said, I’m going to pause and say happy birthday, Jesus! This time of year gets extremely busy, and it is easy to get distracted, but it is important for us all to remember why we celebrate. After church, I went home for a little bit, and then I went to Starbucks and work. At work, things were busy for a while, then they were very slow , and then they were busy again. The day was less hectic than I thought it was going to be. During one of my breaks, I bought a Disney princess color reveal toy that I had been thinking about getting for a while. It was my Christmas Eve gift to myself. I also got some great gifts from my work family. Even though I worked a full shift, it was a good Christmas Eve.

Merry Christmas- Christina Epperly

Employee shopping day and a Barbie activity kit blogmas day 22

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list, friends! On Friday, we had an employee shopping day at work where we got a bigger discount than normal. I had the day off but I came in to shop. I mainly got household items, but I also got a large Squishmallow and a pair of fuzzy socks! The next day at work, I noticed a Barbie activity kit that I had not seen before. I was so excited when it came time for my break. I went and bought it right away! It is a simple kit that has an activity pad and stickers, but I’m still really happy that I got it!

Thanks for reading about some more shopping fun! – Christina Epperly

New Barbie color reveal doll blogmas day 18

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list, friends! I’m finding it difficult to keep up with blogmas, but I’m not giving up! We got some new Barbie color reveal dolls at work. At first, I could not find any information about the series that we had, but then I discovered that it is a 1960s themed series. The first doll that I got in this series is the one that is shown on the container. I love that she has bun on the top of her head. I also love that she has pink in her hair. I love this series, and I hope they make more series inspired by decades. I would love a 1990s series!

Two fun Christmas celebrations blogmas day 17

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list, friends! Overall, December is a very busy month with a lot of events happening! On Sunday, I attended two fun events. The first one was a very yummy potluck after church. Our church also had a beautiful Christmas tree. Later on in the day, I went to the next event a party at my cousin’s house.There was more amazing food, of course, but we also played one of my favorite Christmas games. We did the white elephant gift exchange game. I always have fun playing this game, but I really loved it this time because I got two Squishmallows! I had a really great day spending time with family and friends!

I got more stickers for my Barbie sticker book! Blogmas day 15

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list, friends! I wrote in another post about how I got a Barbie sticker book at work. Yesterday, at work, I was very excited when I saw that we now had the packs of stickers for sale. Each bag of stickers comes with 5 packs. When I opened the packages of stickers, I was happy to see that I did not get a bunch of doubles. I enjoyed filling in a bunch of spaces in my book with the new stickers. It is very hard to get every sticker, but I will try my best! I’m excited to see how many spaces I can fill with stickers!

My review of Starbuck’s merry mint drink blogmas day 14

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list, friends! I was very excited when I saw that Starbucks had a new limited edition holiday drink. This drink is only available on the app. I’m actually drinking it right now as I write this! I have to say that I love it! Peppermint is one of my favorite flavors, and this drink has the perfect amount of it! It is very sweet. If you don’t like sugary drink, then this is not a drink for you. On the other hand, if you love sweet drinks, I recommend giving this one a try!

Paw Patrol ornament craft kit blogmas day 13

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list, friends! I recently completed a small craft kit that I had gotten at work. It was a simple craft kit that came with a Paw Patrol ornament, Crayola markers, and stickers. It is probably no surprise that I enjoyed doing this craft kit. I found it to be very relaxing. Even with only three colors, I was happy with the way it turned out. It is also probably not a surprise that I recommend this craft kit.
