december wrap-up: hallmark movies and end of year lists.

life · January 1, 2020

Here is my monthly wrap up of some of the things I’ve watched, eaten or drank, or just loved for the month of December. Happy 2020!

What I’m watching:
I have been watching all the holiday movies on Hallmark and Lifetime. I love the Hallmark movies – they are so cheesy but yet so fulfilling to watch. I love going into a movie knowing how it is going to turn out and you know the Hallmark movies all end the same – with a happy ending where the main characters end up together and all the conflicts are resolved. They are the perfect thing to have on the television at all times during the holiday season.

What I’m eating:
I traveled back to my hometown for the holidays so I have been eating all the food I grew up eating. My family is from California so you know In-n-Out was my first stop after getting off the airplane. I’ve also been hitting up all the local restaurants that they don’t have in Seattle. Honestly, I’ve just been eating all the food.

What I’m loving:
It’s the end of 2019 so all the websites have been posting their year-end lists. Sometimes it seems like there are so many to wade through, especially because this year we are getting not only all the year-end lists but the end of the decade lists. I like to scroll through the lists to look back on things that I may have forgotten about during the year. Some of my favorite year-end lists are:

      • The Top 20 Stories on NPR in 2019
      • Reuters Pictures of the year 2019
      • The Ten Best History Books of 2019
      • The Best Things We Bought in 2019
      • The Best Desserts of 2019

See you next month!
