Going through old pictures really gives me the Christmas feeling, with all the good warm memories. Sometimes the feeling is lost, there’s no snow and I might feel exhausted and tired of everything for no reason. But then I remember, it’s the most wonderful time of the year. Hahah kidding, but really, it’s probably my favorite time of the year. After seeing pretty lights on a window or being offered a hot mulled wine on the street, or hearing people wish Merry Christmas, that’s when I remember it is almost Christmas. So now let’s enjoy these days, time goes by so fast. Candles, music, movies, baking, smiling to strangers, glitter, decorations, drawing Christmas cards – so many ways to get into that Christmas spirit! I just decorated my home today, so it would be probably a good time to take some new christmassy pictures. I love taking those, you can’t tell that after scrolling through these old ones here, right? But what about you, have you found the Christmas spirit yet?
Vanhojen joulukuisten kuvien selailu on varma joulufiiliksen tuoja. Muistoista ja tunnelmasta se tulee. Ajoittain se fiilis on kyllä aika hukassa, harmaa ilma ja lumettomuus on vähän masentavaa, kaikki välillä väsyttää ilman mitään erityistä syytä. Mutta niin pienistä jutuista sitä voi piristyä, kuten kadulla tarjotusta glögistä, vastapäisen naapurin jouluvaloista, tai vain kuullessa ihmisten toivottamassa toisilleen hyvää joulunodotusta. Tai siitä, kun ystävän kanssa skypetellessä kuulee näyttävänsä todella levolliselta ja onnelliselta, hah ehkä mä oon löytänyt vihdoin joulurauhan. Mutta välillä niistä pienistä jutuista hätkähtää, että nyt tosiaan on joulu jo ihan pian. Näistä päivistä pitää nauttia, aika menee liian nopeasti! Jouluiset klassikkoleffat, piparien leipominen, Michael Bublen joululevy, kynttilät, kodin koristelu, korttien teko, glitterikynnet, tuntemattomille hymyily, extramäärä kanelia aamupuurossa – siinä muita mun joulufiiliksen kohottajia! Miten muilla, onko lumettomuudesta huolimatta löydetty sitä joulun tunnelmaa vielä?
Aimee says
Yay! This post gave me the warm fuzzies! It’s been unusually warm so far this year (it went back up to the 60’s after it snowed twice), so it’s been hard to feel like it’s almost Christmas here. But my home has been decorated for a couple weeks, and I had friends over for cookie baking/decorating last weekend, and now that you’ve posted your first real Christmas post of the year, I definitely feel the holiday spirit growing!
Stella says
For us who follow your blog for years these photos remind me your previous posts.
Myself I’m not in a Christmas spirit due to going through some tough times.
Anyway, looking forward to your next post!

Aw thanks Aimee! That sounds lovely! At first I didn’t feel Christmas at all either, but then after giving up on the thought about white Christmas and not paying too much attention on the weather, it’s easier to concentrate on the things that bring the Christmas feeling. 🙂 Haha I’m happy to hear my post has been a help!

Great post, Marianna! I love this time of the year (even though it’s crazy hot where I live)! I don’t know, it feels like there’s something different even in the air.. it makes me happy!

By Anna says
Love that feeling too!
I also started decorating my home last weekend but to be honest mostly with candles and lights, not very much else 🙂
Just saw your post when I published my new article with some pictures about christmas and the cozy time at home as well.
Have a nice evening Marianna x

Oh your post looks so cozy, love it! Thanks for the comment Anna! X

Beautiful pictures!
Well I miss summer. I´m not a person to complain about the weather and trust me, here in Sweden it rains everyday but I just see it as an opportunity to use my Hunter boots haha. But there is no christmas without snow and now it´s 11/12 and still now snow and + outside. How much I look at snowy pictures on weheartit I don´t get any christmas feeling and it´s now impossible to take photos or do a vlog for the followers. Sorry for just bashing it out but I just want it to start snowing 🙁
marianna says
Thank you Dixi! I know exactly what you mean, snow would be the best thing ever, makes such a big difference. I guess the only way is to accept there won’t be snow, waiting too much for it kills the spirit. Here it seems like it won’t be happening.. But yeah, it’s really hard trying to forget it and concentrating on other christmassy things, I would really like to let my self bash about it too how snow equals Christmas, but I’m trying to stay hard 😀 (Still hoping for a miracle for both of us!)

Jenni says
Hei Marianna, Mikähän vikana kun sinun blogisi on ainut, jossa kuvien latautuminen kestää tuhottoman kauan. Muissa blogeissa ei tätä ongelmaa ole. Tämän vuoksi en aina tahdo jaksaa lukea blogiasi (vaikka muuten kyllä siitä kovasti pidänkin), kun kuvat eivät meinaa millään latautua…
marianna says
Hei! No voi hitsi, onkohan muillakin tuota ongelmaa blogini kanssa… Ymmärrän niin tuon tuskan, itsekin blogeja lukiessa ei kärsivällisyys välillä riitä kuvien latautumiseen. En muilta ole muistaakseni tällaisesta kuullut, mutta koitan tutkia asiaa, kiitos kun ilmoitit 🙂
Jenni says
Hei! Voisitko tehdä postauksenKkap kaupungista matkaajan näkökulmasta… Siis mikäli joku halauaisi lähteä sinne vaikka parin viikon lomamatkalle. Mikä hyvä kohde/alue, mitä hotellivaihtoehtoja, hintataso, mistä lennot jne. kiitos mikäli ehdit tekemään tuollaisen postauksen! Paikka kiinnostaa kovasti
marianna says
Hei Jenni! Harmi mutten tuota nyt pysty tekemään, meidän reissu oli niin fiksattu, etten nähnyt normaalin matkaajan silmin juuri mitään. Kuljetukset järjestetty joka paikkaan, aktiviteetit ym ohjelma muiden järjestämä, majoitus meille vuokratuissa asunnoissa Llandudnossa, alueista en juuri muuten tiedä. Mutta hyvä idea kyllä ottaa selvää, kuulin että tuo lukeutuisi johonkin vaarallisimpiin kaupunkeihin, se puoli jäi minulta näkemättä. Lennot itselläni oli Turkish Airlinesin, en tiedä löytyisikö kätevämpiäkin, se 24h matkustaminen per suunta oli aika rankka.
Mutta vinkkejä siis vain muualta googlettelemaan! Kenties pitää munkin vielä perusturistina tehdä tuonne uusi reissu. 🙂 Ja ainiin, hintataso kuulemma olisi halvempaa, ainakin ruoan osalta, mutten nyt tähänkään omakohtaisesti osaa sanoa!
angelika says
Every time when I see your lovely flat I think that you will be my main inspiration in decorate my own one. It must be perfect place to relax and rest after all day at work.

marianna says
Definitely 50mm 1.4 lens, that’s the one I’ve been using the most by these years. 🙂
Now I’ve also been trying 35mm (on my Nikon’s) and 45mm (on my small Olympus), let’s see if I learn to have another favorite. X

Oot kyl ihan oikeessa et nyt pitäis yrittää fiilistellä niitä pieniä jouluisia juttuja, kun aika menee niin nopeasti. Mulla myös oikeastaan kaikki nuo luettelemasi jutut nostattaa joulufiilistä ja tää postaus toikin kivan jouluisen mielen! 🙂 (vaikka tuolla ulkona sataakin kaatamalla vettä mutta suljen verhot ja yritän ignoorata…) Otanki viikonlopun missioks hautautua glögin kanssa sohvalle katsomaan the holidayta! Hyvää joulun odotusta! 🙂

Amazing photos! I agree, this time it’s a bit hard to get into the christmas spirit! I have so many things to do with school and the weather doesn’t help at all… :/ But preparing and making gifts help and since my mother decorated all the house with our christmas decoration and the three christmastrees we have, it’s getting better! 🙂 Hope you succeeded in getting into the christmas spirit!
Love Marianna,
