Hey Y’all! I know it’s been a while but life went from slow with nothing happening to absolutely crazy! So here’s an update on life & posting!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

𝑀𝓎 𝒫𝑒𝓇𝓈𝑜𝓃𝒶𝓁 𝐿𝒾𝒻𝑒

Y’all big things are coming for my family & I! 

1. I got a job! My mom got a phone call the other day from a friend of hers who works at the middle school I attended when I was a teenager. The women runs the school’s after school program & asked for me to come help her, as they are looking for more teens to help with the program. I put in my job application on Tuesday, October 29th, 2019 & I find out Wednesday, October 30th, 2019 when my phone interview & my in person interview is! It pays $9 an hour & I would be working Monday through Friday with weekends & holidays off.

2. I created my resume with the help of a magazine that I help with! As y’all know, I am a content & public relations team member for an online magazine called Her Campus. Well, we had a meeting on Tuesday, October 29th, 2019, where us girls could create resumes & cover letters that we would eventually need in the future. It was such a great opportunity to learn how to be an adult & prepare for my future.

3. My brother got into his dream college on Tuesday! My family & I are so excited for his future, as my brother is one of the intelligent, talented, athletic, dedicated, & hard working student I know. My brother is not staying in a dorm though (I don’t either right now for my college) so we will both be living at home, as our 2 colleges are a few minutes from our house. He got in on full scholarship & he’s so incredibly happy!

4. I will be going on a trip to my hometown in November! I haven’t been back since my huge fight with my dad’s family (we no longer speak to his family), so we will be staying in a hotel but we are there just to do things around my hometown but I’m so excited! I missed home a lot & it will be good to go back before I go back to school in January.

5. I go back to college in January! From June until December, I took a gap semester off college after 3 grueling & intense semesters back to back. My first semester of college Fall 2018 I took 4 classes (Failed 1), my second semester in Spring 2019 I took 4 classes (Failed 2), & my third semester during Summer 2019 I took a retake class of the math class I failed in the Fall of 2018 & passed it in the summer. This semester which is Spring 2020, I will be retaking my Spring 2019 retake classes which will be English 2 & Introduction to Humanities (Also called Art History). This semester registration doesn’t start until November, classes don’t start until January 13th, & the semester ends in May. I will be doing Her Campus, Working at my Middle School, & doing school all in one semester. I will be so dead tired, I probably won’t be doing social media a ton.

6. My cousin is having a baby! She announced in a few months ago but the baby is due in January! Her baby shower is next weekend with all of our family so I’m very excited! I can’t wait for this little baby boy to come & our family to grow one person bigger! Also sadly two of cousins, who are both married, their wives had miscarriages this month. We are incredibly heart broken because along with my cousin’s baby, the family was going to grow by 3 little angels. But sadly God had other plans for our family & took 2 of our little angels to heaven before we could meet them. It’s been a hard month for our family but hopefully with the little boy coming soon, we should have some light shine on us. 

7. Sickness! Y’all it’s going around. I have been sick, my dad has been sick, my mom has been sick, & some of my friends have been sick. Ugh it’s called cold & flu season for a reason. Also why I haven’t been on Tumblr is due to being sick. Sickness kicked my butt & I ended up sleeping a lot! I’m feeling 100% again so I’m back to freaking feeling normal again & it’s such a good feeling. My dad is still a little bit sick, so healing is taking awhile! 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

𝒫𝑜𝓈𝓉𝒾𝓃𝑔

Okay y’all! I will be catching up on posting in the next few days or so! I will be working on catch up posts from today (Wednesday) to however long it takes me to catch up! So be on the look out for new post! Life has just gotten so crazy for me that posting needed to stop for a while for me to enjoy all the positivity the world is giving me before I got back on social media!

Also new posts are up on my Instagram & my Disney Food Tumblr Blog! Go check those out & the links are right here!

Hey Y’all! I know it’s been a while but life went from slow with nothing happening to absolutely crazy! So here’s an update on life & posting!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

𝑀𝓎 𝒫𝑒𝓇𝓈𝑜𝓃𝒶𝓁 𝐿𝒾𝒻𝑒

Y’all big things are coming for my family & I!

1. I passed both of my job interviews! My co-workers are so sweet & even though I’ve only met my boss & one co-worker I know I’m going to love everyone! I just have to take a drug test & do a background fingerprint screening which happens next week! I’m so incredibly happy! 

2. I’m going through a lot with family both good & bad situations. I’ll start with the good though. My cousin’s baby shower went great & was so incredibly adorable plus I got to help with set up & got to wear a cute dress that I own. We celebrated my grandfather’s (my mom’s father) 80th birthday & will soon be celebrating my mom’s parents 60th wedding anniversary this upcoming Sunday! My cousin’s wife just started a new job as a registered nurse & got her first paycheck! Also my brother & his girlfriend just celebrated 1 year as a couple & they are happier than ever & I’m so proud of those 2 crazy teens who also will be graduating high school in May 2020! Everyone seems to be growing up so fast & it’s so scary but so great to watch. Now the bad... My dad’s family. My dad’s family has never been kind to my dad, my mom, my brother, & I. They just have been cruel to us since the beginning of 2019 but it just keeps going like they have nothing better to do than to try to tear our life apart. I have now blocked everyone on that side of the family & will no longer talk to them or see them because they don’t deserve my time or attention. 

3. My dad, my brother, & I bought our Christmas Tree (A fake tree due to our old fake tree finally breaking last year because we’ve had it for so long)! With Halloween coming to an end, November starting up, & Thanksgiving not being far away, we started decorating for not only Thanksgiving but Christmas! Along with Decorating comes Holiday Sweets & Treats! I have finally got back into baking this month as I have not baked anything in months sadly. I was in a dark space these past few months but I’m finally getting into a more positive space so me baking again was a great sign to my dad, that my mental health was getting better. 

5. I go back to college in January! From June 2019 until December 2019, I took a gap semester off college after 3 grueling & intense semesters back to back. My first semester of college Fall 2018 I took 4 classes (Failed 1 class), my second semester in Spring 2019 I took 4 classes (Failed 2 classes), & my third semester during Summer 2019 I took a retake class of the math class I failed in the Fall of 2018 & passed it in the summer. This semester which is Spring 2020, I will be retaking my Spring 2019 retake classes which will be English 2 & Introduction to Humanities (Also called Art History). This semester registration doesn’t start until November, classes don’t start until January 13th, & the semester ends in May. I will be Working at my Middle School & doing school all in one semester. I will be so dead tired, I probably won’t be doing social media a ton.

Okay y’all. I will be sitting down trying to write down a plan of how long it’s been since I did my last post & figure out how to catch up. Life has just been a really crazy rollercoaster of ups & downs lately so hopefully when life slows down, I will post & be back on! Until then feel free to message me new post theme ideas since I would like to grow my list of ideas & hear what my followers want to see! I love y’all so much & I can’t wait to come back whenever that will be!

Christmas & New Years at Sandringham House

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

𝒯𝒽𝑒 𝐻𝒾𝓈𝓉𝑜𝓇𝓎

Sandringham House is Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II’s Country Estate in Norfolk. In the 1960′s, Queen Elizabeth’s & her children would celebrate Christmas at Windsor Castle. Starting in 1988, Windsor Castle was being rewired, so the Royals traveled to Sandringham for Christmas. The Sandringham Estate is set on 24 Hectares (59.3 Acres) of Garden.

Every year before the stay at Sandringham begins, Queen Elizabeth takes an empty pre-scheduled carriage of the train to from London to King’s Lynn Station in Norfolk. In the Carriage is Queen Elizabeth, Prince Philip, & Immediate Staff. The rest of the British Royal Family will arrive at a specific time on Christmas Eve, depending on their status. Junior Members arrive first & Important Members (Prince Charles & Camilla, The Duke & Duchess of Cambridge & their children, etc.) arrive last.

After all family members have arrived at Sandringham, the Estate can be quite crowded. Due to The Sandringham Estate not being as large as other royal family residences, some family members end up staying in the staff quarters. Staff will transfer from their normal quarters & live in either estate cottages or surrounding villages.

𝑀𝒶𝓇𝓇𝒾𝑒𝒹 𝒞𝑜𝓊𝓅𝓁𝑒𝓈

When the family arrives to the Sandringham Estate, the only family members invited to Sandringham are Married Couples & children. For example, before William & Catherine were married in 2011, the now Duchess was not allowed to attend Christmas at Sandringham. Mike Tindall (Husband of Zara Tindall) or Jack Brooksbank (Husband of Princess Eugenie) were not invited to Christmas at Sandringham, until they were officially married to their wives. The only Royal Member of the Family who has broken this protocol, is Megan The Duchess of Sussex. She attended Christmas at Sandringham, during the year she became engaged to Prince Harry Duke of Sussex. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

𝒯𝒽𝑒 𝑅𝑜𝓎𝒶𝓁 𝒞𝒽𝓇𝒾𝓈𝓉𝓂𝒶𝓈 𝒯𝓇𝑒𝑒𝓈

The First Royal Christmas Tree was introduced to Sandringham House by Her Majesty Charlotte The Queen. The Tradition was kept going by Her Majesty Victoria The Queen & her husband His Royal Highness Albert Prince Consort. The Tradition of having a Christmas Tree has continued onto this day & Queen Elizabeth will let her grandchildren & great grandchildren help decorate the trees. 

The Royal Family has a Large Christmas Tree & also a 30 year old Large Silver Artificial Tree in the Dining Room at Sandringham. All the Christmas decorations  stay up until February to honor Queen Elizabeth’s father, King George VI who died on Wednesday, February 6th, 1952.

(You can see a Christmas Tree Behind the Queen during her annual Christmas Broadcast)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

𝒢𝒾𝒻𝓉 𝒢𝒾𝓋𝒾𝓃𝑔

The day of Christmas Eve, each member of the Royal Family will lay out the presents they bought on the trestle table. The gifts are then exchanged during the Afternoon Teatime, when Prince Philip says everyone is allowed to open their gifts. The British Royal Family do have a sense of humor when it comes to giving each other gifts. Members will sometimes give each other joke presents! Example: Kate Middleton once gave Harry a “Grow Your Own Girlfriend” one year! Harry also gave his grandmother a shower cap with the saying “Ain’t life a b**ch.”

♕ 𝐹𝒶𝒸𝓉: Her Majesty does her Christmas Gift & Decorations Shopping at Harrods! The store would stay open after hours so that Queen Elizabeth could shop on her own.

♕ 𝐹𝒶𝒸𝓉: The family’s favorite treat during their Afternoon Christmas Eve Teatime is the Jam Penny Sandwiches. The Jam Penny Sandwiches are jam filled sandwiches that are cut into circles the size of an old English penny. (Size Reference Below)

Besides family, The Royal Staff are even given Christmas gifts from Queen Elizabeth & Prince Philip! The week before Christmas, the staff are taken into one of the State Apartments, the Head of Staff announces his annual report of their yearly performance, & the staff are then given their gift. The staff can choose between receiving a gift token or a book token, but in order to receive their gift they must be qualified. The qualification is to been in service of the royal family for over a year & their value increases every year, they serve the royal family. Junior Staff are given a token worth £28 ($36.01) & the token increases up to £35 ($45.02). Besides tokens, the staff is also given Christmas puddings with a greeting card all paid for by the Queen. 1,500 total Christmas puddings are made & distributed.

On Christmas Eve, Prince William & Prince Harry will start up a family & staff game of soccer. They create two opposing teams using their socks: Prince William’s team represents Aston Villa Football Club & Prince Harry’s team represents Arsenal Football Club. 

𝐹𝒶𝓂𝒾𝓁𝓎 𝐹𝓊𝓃

After eating a filling Christmas Day Lunch, the family has 2 choices of After Lunch Activities: Exercise on the Estate or Putting Together Puzzles. The choice to exercise, is to help members digest their food faster & prepare them for Christmas Dinner. The choice to put together Jigsaw Puzzles, is a fun hobby of the Queen’s & the children love it too!

𝒞𝒽𝒶𝓇𝒶𝒹𝑒𝓈

The Royal Family loves Charades! Every year after their Christmas Dinner, the family will get together to play a game of charades with each other. They’ll stay up late into night playing because nobody retires to be before the Queen does.

On the night of Christmas Eve, the Queen hosts a Black Tie Formal Christmas Eve Dinner. During the dinner, everyone enjoys a drink: The Queen will drink A Zaza Gin Cocktail, Prince Charles will drink a Cherry Brandy, & Prince William & Prince Harry will drink Sandringham Apple Cider.

Every year on Christmas Morning, the British Royal Family attends the Christmas Church Service at St. Mary Magdalene Church. The entire family walks together in a group & is led by Prince Philip but Her Majesty The Queen, is driven in a car to the church. The family attends a private service just for them at 9 A.M & there is a public service at 11 A.M for anyone who wants to attend. For the Public Service, attendees must pass a security check several months before December.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

𝒞𝒽𝓇𝒾𝓈𝓉𝓂𝒶𝓈 𝐿𝓊𝓃𝒸𝒽 & 𝒟𝒾𝓃𝓃𝑒𝓇

Just like the rest of the families around the world who celebrate Christmas, the British Royal Family have Christmas meals together. Before the family arrives at Sandringham, each member has to practice their French because the Lunch & Dinner menus are in French. Guests are allowed to bring a dish if they choose to.

♕ 𝐿𝓊𝓃𝒸𝒽: After a morning of reflecting at Church, the family will join together for a big lunch. The Lunch includes Salad with Shrimp or Lobster, Turkey (2 Turkeys that are each 25 pounds), Parsnips, Carrots, Brussel Sprouts, & Christmas Pudding with Brandy Butter.

♕ 𝒟𝒾𝓃𝓃𝑒𝓇: After a long day of festivities, the family will once again join together for a big dinner. Unlike the Christmas Lunch where you order your food, Christmas Dinner is a buffet! Dinner includes Rib Roast, Turkey, Ham, & other delicious dishes. Before dinner begins & the family goes inside the dining room, the senior chef must carve whatever meat is served, present the Queen with a glass of Whiskey, & the Queen says a toast to the family & staff. Children are not allowed at Dinner until they are of proper age of behavior, so the young ones are sent off to the nursery.

Beginning in 1952, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II has given an Annual Christmas broadcast to all of the Commonwealth. In her broadcast, the Queen will reflect on the past year & talk about what is to come in the future for her family & for the Commonwealth. The broadcast were not televised like they are today until 1957 & are pre-recorded in a Drawing Room at Buckingham Palace just a few days before Christmas. Every year, the family will join together in a sitting room after lunch (The broadcast takes place at 3PM) to watch the Queen’s broadcast together.

Christmas Cards have been a long standing tradition in the Royal Family for years! Every year, Queen Elizabeth & Prince Phillip send around 850 hand signed cards, but they sign the cards early in the summer. Each couple of the royal family will send their own personalized cards, like the one of the Cambridges pictured down below.

Hey y’all. I know I have been completely silent on this account. I have been slowly updating biographies of the family, retagging posts, & trying to organize my account. Also my personal life outside of social media, has been an up & down rollercoaster of emotions these past few months. With being back at my job, currently in the final few weeks of my 2nd summer college semester (I did a summer semester in 2019), slowly rebuilding bridges in relationships with friends & family, & just dealing with my mental health, I have been so freaking exhausted. I have been trying to catch up on my social media but there are times I need to pull away. I will keep working on this account to re-do it, organize it, & have it to where my account makes me super happy. It will be slow steps coming back so if you start noticing small changes, I’m here. Also I know there is a ton going on in the world & if ANYONE needs me, please know my message & question boxes are always open for support! I love y’all so freaking much! ~ Kendall
