My Changes to Blogmas!

-

Hey Guys x

So, I can announce that I am taking part in Blogmas this year!

However, I'm not doing it the way I've always done it.

Normally, Blogmas is 25 days of Christmas based posts, and that's what makes Blogmas special. However, not only can I not think of 25 Christmas based posts to write, but that's not really how I want to do it this year.

I love Christmas, but there are a lot of things at Blogmas that I force myself to post about that I don't really care about, so I don't want to do it like that.

This year, my biggest passion without a doubt has been movies - filmmaking, watching movies and actors. So I'm incorporating this into Blogmas.

I'm really excited about this idea!

So, I will be posting every day for Blogmas. Actually, I'm going to be posting every single day for the entirety of December - so there will be a new post on this blog every day until 2017 which is really fun!

On certain days my Blogmas post will be a post based on Christmas, the same as everyone else who is doing Blogmas.
However, on every other day, I'm going to do a post about movies. About how they relate to me, my favourites, my favourite actors, a lot of Marvel stuff, and I'm really happy with this idea! Movies are my main passion right now, they are something that means a lot to me and I hope that you all like this idea too!

So, to make it clear, on all odd days, I'll be putting up a Christmas based post. On all even days, I'll be blogging about movies in one way or another.

Let me know in the comments what you think of this idea!

Thank you for reading.

Comment below whether or not you're doing Blogmas!

Keep Smiling - Lou xx

    I really like the way that you're gonna do this. I think I'll be doing something similar too. Like as much as I love Christmas, it's hard to think of only Christmas posts to write every day. Looking forward to your daily blogging :)

      Exactly! It would be so hard to write something completely unique and Christmassy every day! xx

    As a newbie to blogging I was wondering if you, or anyone else, can explain blogmas a bit more please? I get that it is based around Christmas which is exciting! But is it something most bloggers take part in? Do you post every day up until Christmas or can it be a weekly countdown? Would love to join in the festive posting so would appreciate any info :) Gemma xx

      Hi Gemma. Blogmas is basically blogging every day from December 1st until Christmas (or Christmas Eve if you choose). I think quite a few bloggers take part in it as it's something fun to do in the lead up to Christmas. You could do a countdown if you want, it's completely up to you. As you can see from my post, I'm definitely deviating from the norm this year! If you watch YouTube, it's a bit like when Vloggers do vlogmas, but while they film their lives, we post about Christmas related things usually.
      If you have any more questions don't hesitate to ask!

    Ah cool. It sounds like fun and very festive! I'm not sure if I will fully take part this year because I'm still getting to grips with the blogging world but definitely in the future. Thank you for clearing this up and I look forward to your Blogmas posts. Gemma xx

    I was so busy with mock exams that I never got around to reading blogmas posts, but I'm going to still read all of yours anyway!

A Christmas Proposal | Blogmas Day 16

  It's Blogmas day 16! When Jason (Joshua T. Shipman) is forced to move for work, and his girlfriend cannot go with him because they are not married, he creates an elaborate plan to propose by Christmas. So apparently there are two films with the same name, made in the same year, and it looks like I picked the worst of the two! From the very beginning, the tone of the film is really odd. It was taking itself way too seriously for what is supposed to be a light Christmas movie. The plot didn't really make much sense. A few times throughout the film there was a point made that the character didn't want to be with his girlfriend, and had actually requested a be transferred to get away from her. So why are we watching him plan a proposal? Why is he planning a proposal in the first place? There were really weird moments throughout the film where the sound quality would drastically change when a character was speaking but not on camera, despite supposedly being in the same room. ...

Christmas Plus One | Blogmas Day 18

  It's Blogmas day 18! When sisters Cara (Emily Alatalo) and Amy (Vanessa Smythe) make a pact to find their soulmates, and a year later Amy is getting married, Cara sets out to find her true love. And she does... until she loses his number. This one had a fun premise. I'll admit I thought more of the film would be about the sisters finding love together, but either way I was looking forward to it. It ended up being a bit disappointing. As already mentioned, I really wish that it had been about two sisters who are both finding love. Dangling that in front of us, and then making it a generic one-couple love story with no attention on the sister at all was a weird choice. Speaking of the sisters, their relationship didn't feel as authentic as it needed to be, considering it was the catalyst of the story. I never really believed in, or cared about, the main couple. They did have nice chemistry, but it wasn't good enough to carry the film. I didn't really connect with an...

Christmas Holidate | Blogmas Day 19

  It's Blogmas day 19! When Holly (Jasmine Burke) uses her company's app to find a date to bring home for the holidays, a glitch in the app causes more than one date to turn up. This film had an interesting premise because it seemed really original, and it looked like there would be a lot of chances for fun and humour. I didn't end up liking it as much as I wanted to. But one thing I liked was how much more modern it felt than most of the other movies I've watched for Blogmas this year. Even just the idea of her finding her date(s) through an app is original for a Christmas film. It's nice that the movie was family-focused, but the family it focuses on aren't that interesting and can't really carry the story. The main couple have chemistry and it was fun to watch them interact, but I never really cared about them one way or the other. And if for some reason they didn't end up together, it wouldn't have mattered to me. It took about 40 minutes for the...

Merry Magic Christmas | Blogmas Day 14

  It's Blogmas day 14! In the lead-up to Christmas a financial advisor (Patricia Isaac) helps a theatre director (Andrew Dunbar) keep his theatre running. To be honest, that might not be an accurate description of the film. Not only have I completely forgotten what the film was actually about, I also forgot that I watched it! So this entire review is coming from the notes I made while watching, because for some reason it's a really forgettable film. I didn't get a great first impression of either of the main characters, and because of that, neither of them were particularly likeable. Not only was this the second Blogmas movie based around a theatre, but it was also the second to prominently feature 'A Christmas Carol' as the show the theatre was putting on. Could we please retire this now? There's a bit of chemistry between the main characters, but they just didn't work well together for me. I never quite bought them, and the potential romance wasn't som...

Hot Frosty | Blogmas Day 17

  It's Blogmas day 17! When Cathy (Lacey Chabert) accidentally brings a snowman to life, she discovers the magic Jack the snowman (Dustin Milligan) brings to the town of Hope Springs. This is the third of four highly anticipated Netflix Christmas originals this year that I'm including in Blogmas. And while it's not the most original story, I've always loved the idea of Jack Frost, so I was excited to see it. Thankfully I liked this one - though maybe not as much as I wanted to. I really liked the character of Cathy. Not only was she really likeable, but because we get to know her so quickly, we can really root for her. I also loved the tone of the film. It didn't take itself seriously at all and made it clear to the audience that we're just there to have fun. All of the actors, main and supporting, were great. They were so much fun to watch and all played their characters really well. The chemistry between Cathy and Jack is great! You really want to see them tog...
