And It’s Christmas Movies time!!!
Finally! It’s that time of the year which for me is all about cosy weather, floating dandelions (umm, I know there is no snowing here in my city Aamchi Mumbai huh.), beautiful ice crystals shining like dancing diamonds on all surfaces, tinkling bells and a host of décor shining all around alongside streamers of twinkling lights on all trees. Christmas, the festival of the year, it’s finally here! And I can’t keep calm!
Christmas for me has always been all about a beautiful time spent with all those near and dear ones whom I love and adore. It is also that time of the year I primarily want to binge. On good food, gifts and also great Christmas movies online. Actually, the festival for me mainly is about cosy activities as this is one time I like to take a little side-on break and indulge in what I love doing the most aka movie watching.
