Choose your own adventure - December 2024

​It's that time of the month again where our bloggers get to freely blog about whatever
they like. We have a mixed bag today from perspective, historical events and that cheeky little elf who makes an appearance this time of year. Enjoy!
 
 
Hello my lovely readers, welcome back to our blog. Today I would like to share my passion for Disney. If you have ever met with me you'll know straight away how much I love Disney. The first thing that you will notice is me wearing my Disney shirt or hoodie if it's winter. I have so many of them and I have one for every occasion. I had the opportunity to experience many trips and adventure with Disney like the Disney cruise I went this year with my family for my birthday celebration, and it was amazing. What I love the most was the Beauty and the Beast show they had on board and all the yummy food. I love making beautiful memories with my lovely family. One that I will never forget is Disneyland in America and I went there on Christmas Eve it was so beautiful, I went on the big rides. I loved it all and I wasn’t scared.
 
I got to see the stunning Christmas lights it was like I was in a dream this experience
made me so happy. I am looking forward to this year and guess what, I am going to Disneyland Hong Kong which I am sure is going to be amazingly wonderful and I can't wait.
 
Thank you for reading my blog. I have something special that I would like to share with you is that I am sitting near by boyfriend Thomas and I am very happy - Claire
 
 
 
This is my first blog today, and I am happy to be here.
My brother Chris is one of my best brothers. We do a lot of fun things together.
We will go on a big plane together, on a big trip to England because I really want to see
H.R.Puf'nStuf World. I love all the things about H.R.Puff'n'Stuf like Jimmy, Cling and Clang. I watch new episodes on YouTube every week and it makes me smile.
It is a good place for me.
 
I have the t-shirt from H.R Puf'n'Stuf and a bag and a hat and I like to watch the DVD’s. Thomas
 
 
Hi readers, today's topic is a choose your own adventure and my adventure is about the elf on the shelf. the elf on the shelf first started in 2005 by an American author named Carol Aebersold as a story for her daughters. The idea is to explain how Santa knows
which children are good and who are naughty. There are 3 simple rules.
 
1st one is the elf on the shelf cannot be touched by children or family members. Adults may use tongs or potholders or use a magic glove to hold them and move them if needed.
2nd, he does not speak or move while children are awake.
3rd the biggest rule is to have fun.
The elf can appear for any aged children.
They can appear in any homes from the 24th of November to the 1st of December and
leave on Christmas Eve.
A while ago we had an elf but it didn't have a name, it was a naughty elf. Once he went into mum’s bathroom and he had a spa in her bathroom sink. Another time he got into her makeup and put it on himself. Once he got inside the candle but lucky it was not going. Lots of people have elf on the shelf and they can do lots of things. Tik tok or Facebook have lots of photos and stories of what the elf has been doing.
 
Do you have an elf and if so is it a good or naughty elf?. Does it have a name?
If you don't have an elf and would like one, you can buy the book from Coles or some
bookstores but it's not cheap. They come in a hard cover book and tell the story about the elf or you can buy a cheaper one from lots of stores and they still have the magic. enjoy your elf on the shelf.

Choose your own adventure. The Tenerife
airport disaster happened in 1977 and it is classed as the world's worst accidental aircraft disaster. I like to research these types of things as it is interesting to me.
Firstly, the disaster could have been avoided if the radios were used properly and if the pilots weren't diverted in the first place. Old technology meant the communication wasn't effective as when one person tried to talk on
the radio, another was unable too.
 
Many flights were diverted to Las Rodeos
where this accident happened, and there was a lot of fog. So visibility was incredibly low. The planes involved were given different instructions to deal with the much smaller
airport and runways, but, the communication wasn't very clear and two aircraft, full of passengers collided whilst taxiing on the runway. here is a story of a lady who decided not to board her plane, and therefore avoided the flight. She decided to stay longer in her city, her friends however, did board, and they passed away.

Today's blog is all about me. As people who know me would know I love my sport. I have been on a couple sporting holidays to the UK. I went to Manchester to watch Manchester United play when I was 18 and last year I went to the Ashes. I would love to go to America but unfortunately that's not possible for me due to medical reasons and costs. I also love going to concerts as I can be myself and not have my disability interfere. I love Mexican food and my favourite food is tacos or burritos. Do you have a favourite cuisine? I used to love Slinkys as a kid and love Tie Dye as an adult. What Wacky things do you have? Keep being awesome – Ben
 
 
Lost in space..
Do you ever lose yourself in the space of your own mind? I have moments where I get lost in my own head, physically I am in reality but my mind is not present and it's like I'm off in space, completely zoned out. Even as a child I would completely zone out.
 
I can’t tell you where my mind actually goes because I go blank in my mind, no thoughts and no feelings just blank. Completely unaware of my current surroundings. I like to think that my mind is off on an adventure in space, it takes me a bit to come back to earth and then I have to catch up on whatever I missed because as I said my mind is gone. It gives new meaning to the saying my mind wanders.
 
For a person that would usually be filled with restless energy, with many thoughts and feelings it's almost like respite from my own mind, I mean this in the kindest way towards myself but my mind can be hard work. (as can anyone's) I wouldn’t call it daydreaming because I do that too and its very vivid and my mind is still in overdrive and thinking nonstop. I have zoned out in the middle of conversations and not because it's
a boring conversation or anything it just happens and I have no say in it at all. Slightly frustrating but there isn't much I can do about it, just shake it off and continue with life.
 
It's almost like someone has hit the skip button in my mind or handed my brain the skip card from Uno or maybe I just lose reception. I don't have a fancy medical word for it so I quess that's the best way I can explain it. My blogs seem to mostly be brain dumps and I love it and hopefully everyone else enjoys it too. Though I do wonder if anyone else has the same thing happen, it would be really interesting to hear about this zoning out from other people's perspectives/ point of views and it's nice to share
experiences sometimes too.
 
At the very least I have given you something to think about.
With all the kindness, Your friend,
Shan.
 
 
Dear readers, this week's topic is a choose your own adventure.
Let me start by telling you about my taste in music!
 
My current playlist on Spotify is music from the movie Hannah Montana, Zayn and Sia. Eminem is my favourite rapper of all time. My Christmas playlist music helps me with my anxiety. I listen to Ed Sheeran songs sometimes and last year I was fortunate to see him at his concert and I went with my parents. It was the first concert I've ever been to and Iwas a bit anxious because I do not like big crowds. But after warming up my seat I was singing along so much that I lost my voice and couldn't talk for a few days, but my mum got me on video enjoying the concert.
What kind of music do you like to listen to?
