weekends...

Hiya!

Since I've been at uni, weekends have been transformed for me. Back in Southampton I had to work both Saturday and Sunday, meaning I never actually had a day to myself. Now, I don't have to work either, thankyou to the student loan fairies. My weekends usually consist of lazing in bed till around midday, treating myself to a special weekend breakfast before either doing some shopping in town, watching the footie or cracking on with uni work. I often stay at Matthew's on a Saturday night if he isn't working Sunday, and I treasure those Sunday morning lie ins where neither of us have to get up for anything and can just cwtch (cuddle in welsh) for as long as we like :)

It's Saturday afternoon, and after watching Saints win to Reading I decided to get down and dirty with this stats homework. Being December, I just can't start work without putting on the Christmas song playlist. I compiled quite a small list on spotify of songs that to me, are Christmas. The list isn't exclusive and there's probably a few I've missed off - I find myself hearing songs in shops, or from other people's music that I recognise thinking OMG! I haven't heard this in a while. And then I trot on home and add it!

Anyway, I wanted to share probably my favourite Christmas song ever. Obviously, the Pogues come a close second, but this song is so beautiful, so innocent, and it gives me that warm fuzzy feeling every time I listen to it. It's magical, makes me feel special and makes me look forward to curling up on Christmas eve, in my jammies, with a hot chocolate and Love Actually. :)


Enjoy. Love love love xxx

Ps. If you were interested, the other songs on my playlist are:
