A photo every day for a year! 21st - 31st December! Week 52 of #Project365

I hope you all had a lovely Christmas or holiday, whatever that looked like for you. We had a lovely Christmas and have had a relaxing time since. Becky has had a few days off work so it meant we could properly catch up, sit around chatting and slowly get the house back to some kind of normal instead of living around piles of wrapping paper and random gift bags.

Here we are at the end of 2025 and the end of posting a photo every day for a year. I think I did well, only missing one day in early November. Today I have a bumper edition, finishing up the year and it will be a short post on Sunday with only a few days for the start of the new year.

I hope you all have a lovely time welcoming the New Year, whatever you’re doing. Here’s to fresh starts, new plans and lots more photos in 2026!

Now for a photo every day!

I had one last look at my online food order, adding some things and removing some. Asda did a great job! There were a couple of substitutions with my delivery but nothing ridiculous. The big bonus was the beef. They said it wasn't going to be delivered but it turned up and because of a glitch in the system, it came for free!

This was a proper family day. I managed to get us all together for a photo while we were waiting to head out to celebrate my dad’s birthday. We went out for a meal and had such a lovely time. Good food, lots of chatting, plenty of laughs and that nice feeling of just being together.

357/365 - 23rd December

This was the start of proper Christmas dinner prep. Things started coming out of the freezer. I know each year I buy a lot of stuffing but this year I bought more than ever. Oops. I'm not even sorry, I do love stuffing!

Christmas Eve! It was a busy one for me, cooking everything that I could and for tea we just had picky bits! If you are a long-time reader here, I am sure you have seen these trays before. They only come out at Christmas. It started when my girls were little and has continued. They're perfect trays for a picky tea.

359/365 - 25th December

Christmas Day! I didn’t take loads of photos and the ones I did take were very much in the moment and slightly blurry. 

360/365 - 26th December

There were new Stranger Things episodes and I managed to avoid all the spoilers by watching them as soon as I got up! I’ve seen people saying they weren’t as good as the previous block of episodes but I really enjoyed them.

361/365 - 27th December

It wouldn’t be Christmas without a tub of Quality Street but I have to say, I’m not impressed this year. I know there’s a big push to reduce packaging and help the planet, which I do support but I really miss the shiny wrappers. They were part of the experience!

362/365 - 28th December

This was a big tidy-up day. Presents finally found proper homes, bags were folded away and the living room started to look like an actual living room again. The sofa did need a big reset, fixing the cushions and the throw.

363/365 - 29th December

It was time to pack Christmas away until next year. This year I was so organised and wrote on the boxes where everything should go. The future me is going to be so grateful when December rolls around again.

364/365 - 30th December

I finally got around to re-watching Ally McBeal. I haven’t seen it since it was on TV back in the late 90s and wow, it’s a blast from the past. Some bits have aged better than others but I’m really enjoying it.

365/365 - 31st December

And here we are, the final photo of the year. My dress for tonight. I had options, one I liked and this one that I love. It’s sparkly, fun and it feels perfect for seeing the year out!
