Today is December 1, which means it’s the first day of blogmas! If you never heard of blogmas, blogmas is when a blogger will post a new post every day for either 25 days, 31 days, or any other number of days the blogger wants to post for. I participated in blogmas last year and, even though it was hard, I enjoyed it and wanted to do it again this year.

Over the past few months, I’ve worked on blog posts for blogmas between my normal day job in order to give me some time to enjoy the holiday season. Although some posts required some planning, I wanted to give myself some days to talk about topics that happened recently. I hope everyone will enjoy my post this holiday season!

In order to start blogmas, I decided to share 5 things I’m excited for this holiday season! Continue reading “It’s Blogmas 2019 & 5 Things I’m Excited for This Holiday Season” →
