My Favorite Christmas Songs

Although Decmber has barely begun and there are still some brown leaves on the trees, you can already feel Christmas vibes all around. Colourful lights, Christmas trees at every corner and Holiday songs playing in shopping malls. I generally try to ignore all that sparkling and colourful noise, not because I don't like it in general but because I don't want to get bored with Christmas before it even starts. But when it comes to Christams songs I could listen to them thoughout the whole year! And that's what I'd like to share with you today. Here's the list of some of my favorite songs related to Christmas! (Don't worry, Last Christmas is not included) :D

Let It Snow by Dean Martin

I ALWAYS listen to this song when it's snowing for the first time in the season. It's not really a Christmas song but it's related to the winter season. Apart from that, snow is something that helps us emerge into this special Holiday atmosphere. Everybody wants to have a white Christmas:)

Oh Come All Ye Faithful covered by Hillsong United

And now we've reached the true meaning of Christmas! This song is one the most well-known Christmas carols in the world. It has been translated in many languages. I think that only Silent Night is more famous.


Christam Story by 12 kamieni

Don't let the title deceive you! The song is entirely in Polish, written and sang by a Polish christian group. It just came out a couple of days ago but I'm already totally in love with it. When it comes to the lyrics it takes a more biblical view on Christmas than your typical Holiday hit song but the melody is very much "christmasy" and I'm really into this mix.


Mizerna cicha covered by Boguchwała

In my heart I have a special place just for traditional Polish carols. I can't wait to sing them together with my family after the Christmas Eve dinner. Mizerna cicha is one of my favorite ones. It's so calm, slow and quiet, just like Christmas itself. I fell in love with this cover that's a bit more modern but still does the original justice.


Hope you enjoyed my list:) Maybe you didn't know some of the songs and in that case I encourage you to take a listen and feel the real Christmas spirit!

The Dark World of Harlan Coben

Obraz
I'm not completely sure why but I really enjoy watching crime shows. There's just something so compelling about slowly revealing all the secrets and finding out who is the murderer. Of course, not every crime series is great but I've recently seen two terrific ones and I'd like to tell you a little bit about them. Both of them are based on Harlan Coben's novels. I've never read any of them but Coben is a writer and a producer on both shows, so I guess they are pretty faithful to the original books. One is called The Stranger , the other is called Safe . They are actually very similar to each other and a viewer can find many parallels between the two of them, both plot-wise and characters-wise.  Both stories are set in the same background; in a suburban community of very successful and wealthy people. At first sight it seems like their lives are perfect and there is no place for any kind of darkness or horror there. However, not so far into the shows

My Place On Earth

Obraz
Today I'm going to tell you a little bit about my family and my roots. Both my Mom's and my Dad's grandparents after the World War II decided to settle in Lower Silesia, the land that was reclaimed by Poland after the war, in exchange of some teritories in the East that were attached to the Soviet Union. Both of my parents were born and raised in the same small village right next to the city of Wrocław, called Długołęka (the name could be translated to English as "long meadow"). What's more, they were both born in the same year so starting from nursery school they went to the same class. They even danced together a traditional Polish dance "krakowiak" during one of the performances in the nursery school. (Pesonally I think that's adorable!). They were each other's high school sweet-hearts and after getting married they decided they wanted to stay in Długołęka. They built a house there in which we all live right now. And by "us all&q

My Favourite Scents

You know how they say that most people are visual learners and others have more developed sense of hearing? But why do we take into consideration only these two senses and don't talk about the other ones? Some time ago I realised that smells, scents, odours and aromas are a huge part of my reality. They have the power to ease my mind and help me relax. They can trigger memories that I didn't know I still remembered. For example when I start using again a shampoo that I used to wash my hair with some time ago, suddenly my mind is filled with images and memories from that period. Or when my mum makes exactly the same apple pie that she would make when I was a kid and I can smell just a hint od its aroma, I'm immediately taken back to my childhood. So, today let me present you some of my favourite scents. It's such a pity I can't pass them on to you through the screen and only talk about them, but you can always use your imagination or maybe even surround yourself
