Merry Christmas Eve Eve! 😀
Since it’s almost Christmas, I thought it would be fun to share all of my Christmassy pictures that I’ve taken over the last couple of months. Some you may have seen on Instagram (if you follow me) and some I haven’t posted yet. It’s going to be really picture heavy, just a heads up.
The first sets of pictures are from around our city (Lakeland). The Christmas tree pictures are from the big Christmas tree that they have up at Lake Mirror. I was sad I didn’t get a chance to see it at night (except from far away), but it’s still pretty in the daylight too.







Story behind these last two pictures. The hubby and I were walking away from the big Christmas tree and as we were walking away, Santa Claus and Mrs. Claus were walking by us! It was so random, but so cool. They were having a little photo shoot by the Christmas tree, haha. The second picture is a Christmas tree made from kegs from Swan Brewing. It’s a brewery we like to go to. My family was visiting one weekend and I took them there.
These next set of pictures are ones that I took at Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure. They were all decked out in Christmas decor. I would have loved to see it all lit up at night, but we never got the chance to.






This last picture is from watching the retelling of The Grinch (Grinchmas) at Islands of Adventure. It was probably about thirty minutes, but it was really fun to see it acted out live.
These next set of pictures are from when my family and I went to this little Christmas event in Celebration, Florida. There was live music, SNOW (aka soap, LOL), and lots of fun Christmas things and decor to look at.









Celebration, Florida was a cute little town and I wish we would have walked around the neighborhoods at night, because so many houses were decorated with so many decorations and lights. It would have been so cool to see. And most of the houses were HUGE (like the one I shared). Always next year! 😛
The hubby and I are spending Christmas with his family this year, so we will be leaving tonight to drive over there. We are both really looking forward to it. I will catch up with you guys after Christmas and I have a bunch of end of the year posts lined up, so be on the look out for them!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
All these pictures are so cool! I love that tree. It’s so beautiful. And that bookstore looks like something out of a movie. Merry Christmas!
Thank you! 🙂 I really wish that was a real bookstore. At Universal Studios they have a lot of buildings (like pictured), but they aren’t actual functioning buildings/stores. All fictional and for looks, haha.
Bummer. 😦
Ahh I love your pictures so, so much, makes me want to travel there to see it all ❤ Have a lovely holiday and merry Christmas, Ashley and a safe trip! ❤
Thank you, Marie! So happy you loved them. ❤
Aww, this is such a fun post! I love seeing all the places (and so many Christmas Trees!)
If we don’t speak before Christmas, I wish you and your family a Merry (and magical!) Christmas! I hope it will be full of happiness, delicious food (nhom!) with family and friends! Thank you for all the comments and love you showed me and my blog this year.
Thank you ❤ I really hope you had an amazing holiday with your family and friends. I am so happy that we have become such great friends.
I do not mind picture heavy posts one bit! I’m excited to read this 🙂 All these destinations look so fun! I love the Universal Studios set up of all the different buildings and festive trees. I hope you had a wonderful time with your husband’s family! Thanks for sharing, Ashley. Have a very happy new year ❤
I love a picture heavy post too, haha. 😛 It was so neat seeing all of the Christmas decorations at Universal Studios. They did such an amazing job with decorating! I hope you had a great holiday with your family. ❤
These photographs are very beautiful! The cone shaped tree is especially satisfying. Hope you had a great Christmas x
Thank you ❤
It’s my pleasure x
