Blogmas is a fun holiday tradition where creators publish a new post every day from December 1st through December 25th. Some folks treat it like an advent calendar for their blogs. Others use it as a way to share memories, tips, stories, and seasonal moments all month long. It’s meant to be festive, lighthearted, and packed with the kind of content that makes readers feel like they’re right there celebrating with you.
For me, Blogmas is a chance to lean into the magic of the season. December is when my reading list gets longer, the holiday movies stay playing, and my schedule fills up with family moments. Blogging every day during this time keeps me present and helps me slow down enough to notice the little things I’d normally overlook.
Why I’m Taking On Blogmas Again This Year
I love December. My reading picks get sweeter. My home feels cozier. My family traditions take center stage. Blogmas gives me the perfect excuse to share all of that in one place. It keeps me writing, reflecting, and capturing the season as it unfolds.
I’m also doing it because I want to end the year strong. This time of year can get overwhelming, but having a creative project helps me stay grounded. With Blogmas, I get to mix lifestyle content, personal stories, holiday favorites, and behind-the-scenes moments from Mama Crow’s and my everyday life. It’s a blend that feels natural, fun, and worth committing to.
My Plan for Tackling Blogmas
Posting every day takes intention, so I’m breaking Blogmas into a simple plan that feels realistic.
Create Themes Ahead of Time
I’m setting loose themes for the month to guide me. Some days will be books. Some will be holiday traditions. Others might be gift ideas, memories, recipes, or quick lifestyle moments. Having themes keeps me from staring at a blank page on busy days.
Batch When I Can
If I get a burst of energy, I’ll write a few posts at once. It lets me stay ahead and takes pressure off the quieter days when life gets loud or my grandkids need me.
Keep Posts Realistic
Not every Blogmas post has to be a long one. Some might be simple reflections or short holiday favorites. As long as I’m showing up, that counts.
Mix Fun Content With Practical Content
A list of book recommendations might go up one day. A story about a family tradition may follow the next. A memory from Bellmead or Waco might pop in another. The mix keeps me interested and keeps readers guessing.
How I’ll Stay Motivated All Month Long
The biggest motivator for me is simple: I love December storytelling. When the lights go up, the movies start playing, and the blankets come out, I naturally want to talk about it. Blogmas gives me a place to put all that joy.
I’m also reminding myself that Blogmas doesn’t have to be perfect. It’s about consistency and connection, not perfection. If a post is short, that’s fine. If a day feels chaotic, that’s normal. What matters is showing up and sharing the pieces of the season that mean something to me.
Another thing that helps is remembering how fast the holidays pass. By the time January rolls in, the magic cools down. These posts become a way to hold on to the moments instead of letting them blur together.
What Readers Can Expect This Month
You’ll see a mix of holiday content that fits the rhythm of my life. Expect books. Expect family traditions. Expect a little chaos, a lot of heart, and plenty of Waco charm. Blogmas will stretch from the cozy to the heartfelt and everything in between.
By the time December wraps up, I hope to look back at a month filled with memories, stories, and the kind of moments that make this season feel special. And I hope you enjoy tagging along with me each day.
