Over the last year or so, Instagram Stories has become one of the most popular social media platforms for content creators and social media lovers alike, and it's not hard to see why. It's great for sharing little snippets from your daily life, promoting your work, and connecting with your followers on a more personal level. It's definitely my favourite channel for sharing little moments of my life with you guys.
It can be difficult to know what to share on Insta Stories, but with the festive season upon us, the possibilities are almost endless. You can post photos of your Christmas decorations, show off your present wrapping skills, make everyone hungry with your beautifully decorated Christmas cookies, share photos from your Christmas outings, and so much more.
