#socialbloggers 127 // Christmas and Blog Planning

Bonfire night is over so now it’s basically Christmas in my eyes. Lolz. I don’t even care if you think I’m being ridiculous because I love Christmas. I typoed that at first saying I live Christmas. I guess I live it too.

I was thinking about Christmas related posts last week and have a post coming up this week with some Christmas themed post ideas, which prompted me to have this Christmas themed Twitter chat.

Just one thing before we get into the chat – I didn’t realise how many people don’t know what Blogmas is! Basically, it’s blogging every day from 1st December until Christmas. People also do Vlogmas on YouTube. Some people have Christmas themed blog posts, others are not so strict with the topic.

Okay, gotta run.

Q1: Have you started planning blog topics over the holidays/xmas? #socialbloggers

@skinnedcartree A1. Already got majority of blogmas done ?? #socialbloggers
