December Favourites

Movies
Nativity 2 - Danger in the Manger:- SO funny.  Sat and watched it with a few friends at the beginning of the month.  There was a bonus of there being David Tennant in it which made everything so much better.  Quite a lot of the jokes were in the trailers (as with a lot these days) but so many more funny bits in it.

Pitch Perfect - Loved it.  Have seen it twice already at the cinema and have downloaded the Sound Track.  It's so good.  It's a feel good movie of fun and romance with singing thrown in there for good measure and good laughs.  I was sitting in the cinema smiling like the cheshire cat.  So good.  Go see it.

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey - Loved it also.  There's a lot more comedy in it than Lord of The Rings as this was written more as a kid's book than an adult book.  My dad was the first one to see it and told me I was going to love it.  He was right.  Andy Circus is so amazing as is Martin Freeman.  Everyone was just amazing.  Peter Jackson did it again.  

I've seen other films but can't think for the life of me what they were.

TV
The Secret of Crickley Hall - I think this could actually be classed in both November and December but it finished in December so I'm sticking with December for this one.  It's a 3 part series on BBC 1 on Sunday night with Tom Ellis (Miranda hottie ;)) and Suranne Jones with Douglas Henshall.  It's a scary series with ghosts and various other things.  It jumps between the past (2nd world war time england I'm guessing) and the present day.

Doctor Who Christmas Special - It was good.  I talked to another friend of mine earlier on last month and we both loved it.  We also laughed at the fact we thought that the Snowmen were scary and made us reconsider what we thought of them.  

Miranda - It's back!  I am in love with it.  I can't wait for the rest of the season.  I laughed so much when I watched it.  Miranda Heart is just so funny I love her.  Also Tom Ellis is just cute. :-) 

Buffy the Vampire Slayers - Season 2 - It's on Love film and I seem to have forgot all of the episodes so I decided to re-watch it.  It's so good I love it and I think I always will love it.

Angel - As with Buffy I have forgot most of the episodes so I'm re-watching them all.

Book

The Casual Vacancy:- Never managed to finish this.  I couldn't get into it at all.

Winer Warmers - I got a Kindle for christmas and this was the first book I downloaded.  It's three short stories which most of I fell in love with.  I wasn't so keen on the last one which was very very short so I never got into it.

Let It Snow - Another load of short stories but they all intermingle with each other.  I loved the first one which was The Jubilee Express by Maureen Johnston.  Not to ruin anything.  A girl is stuck in a town she doesn't know and is taken in  by this Family for the night after an accident.  Everything about it was good.  I love her writing anyway but I loved the story that she told.  The second one I also loved, A Cheertastic Christmas Miracle by John Green.  I love his writing anyway but this story made me fall in love with him all over again.  It's the story of three friends trying to get the a Waffle House to spend christmas eve with a group of Cheerleaders that were on a train that's got stuck close to a Waffle House.  I can't explain it that well but it's good.  I wasn't so keen on the last one, it didn't hit me as 'oh wow' as the rest of them.

Music

Pitch Perfect Sound Track - Obsessed.  Listening to it just now.  If I could burn it onto CD I would but my burner is vibrating like crazy at the moment.

Hannah Montana Sound Track - Another one I'm obsessed with and know all the words to.  I'm not sure I should be admitting to this but I don't care, it's just so much fun to listen to.  Especially on the way into work, it just gives me some energy.

Wicked Sound Track - One I know all the words to and have listened to a lot this month.  It's just so much fun.

Misc
Ceilidh's: I love them, I've been to a few this year.  All of them have been fun.  Some of them have been awkward but most of them have been fun and I've had a laugh and a couple of drinks and just had fun.

Gingerbread Latte: I love them from Starbucks.  I always have a seasonal favourite drink and this time of year is the Gingerbread Latte. It's so warm and spicy and sweet all at the same time.  It's a comfort thing I think.  If everything is going wrong or I'm tired or I just need a hug or a good conversation with Friends, Starbucks is the best place for me to go.  Good food good drink and comfy seats (most of the time).

New Years With Friends in Stonehaven: It was fun.  We went down the the Fireballs on the High Street.  I did get a little bit squished and freaked out with all the very very very tall people standing all around me and didn't get to see much of the fireballs but I eventually, when everyone got too cold and board, got to the front and took a video of them and some good pictures, the video you can see here.

Happy New Year and may 2013 be even better than 2012.
