What Is Blogmas

Blogmas is a term used for when a blogger/writer posts something new everyday between December 1 and December 25.

Originally, it began has Vlogmas where people who did Youtube would upload new video every day in December. They would do videos doing Christmas related things like Christmas baking, going Christmas shopping, checking out light displays and eventually they would film their Christmas morning.

Over time, it caught on, people who had a blog would eventually do the same thing by posting every day in December. Some people may not do something every day, they may do every other day, every couple of days, etc. People usually will stop on the 25^th,  but people have gone until New Years Eve.

I’ve tried to do Vlogmas over the years, but I found that I never had enough of an interesting life to be posting a new video every day for 25 straight days so I never did it, but when I thought about how I can revamp my blog and try something new, I thought I’ll do blogmas.

My idea is that I’m going to post three days a week until December 31^st. I was going to do a blog post every day, but its going to be hard and for the sake of my mental health, posting three days a week is a good number to start off with. I'm hoping that I will get into the groove and be able to post multiple times a week in the new year.

I will still be talking about mental health and addiction, but I’m also going to be posting some light hearted things too. I don’t want to bring people down during the holidays. December is going to be a busy month for my blog.

Writing during December and talking about all the things Christmas may get a little repetitive since everyone that is doing blogmas will be talking about the holidays and giving you things like Christmas decoration ideas, what you should make for Christmas dinner or what you should put in your kid’s stocking.

I still want my blog to be the same as it always has been but have the odd fun post to brighten your day, maybe lift your Christmas spirit.

It would be a lot easier for me to write about things instead of doing a video because I can go into more detail about things instead of just doing a video for the sake of doing a video. It just makes more sense as a writer to challenge myself to write on a more regular basis.

I hope doing blogmas would get me out of writers block. I hope that you stick around until new year’s eve and I hope that you have a safe and happy holiday season.
