Who knew that December would of come round so quickly!
You always here everyone saying where's the time gone? and its so true, feels like the year has gone past so quickly! Not that I'm complaining, Christmas is my favourite part of the year!
It's true what they say about Christmas :
There no short of Christmas spirit in my family home, we are still firm believers of Father Christmas and we don't let anyone tell us different. It spoils the true magic of Christmas. We may be old fashioned but we still have all the foil ceiling decorations and its very strange for it to be Christmas and not have them in the house. Over board is one word to describe what my family goes inside our house. Definitely looks like Santa's grotto in our front room.
We always get one of our family members to decorate the fire place with things out of her garden which always turns out every year amazing! These two little Santa's were presents for us so they now sit on either end of the fireplace every year to make them cosy, but even better they both sing different Christmas songs. So this year we extend our little singing family and brought 2 new ones.
We have Ginger the cat who sings what ever you plug into him and Ruth the Reindeer who sings sleigh ride and the little penguins in his little toy sack sing in a high pitched voices which is adorable to say the least.
This is our fireplace this year:
For the first year in what feels like forever my parents are going to be giving me a Christmas stocking to open when I wake up.
So mum and I went out shopping as we didn't have one, so I went for a plain but vintage look which less is more I think. But every year without doubt I give my cat his little Christmas stocking that has new toys in and little treats things like that.
So we went with the cutest little design for him. We dress him up every year for Christmas day to make him look handsome, so this year we went out and brought him a new little outfit.
Last year
This year we decided to go with the classic little bow tie.
We only recently got our Christmas tree as we haven't had a fake one for a few years now as we love the whole new tradition as a family to go and pick a real Christmas tree and having it in the front room the smell is to die for!
Every year we change the colour of the tree so one year we had gold and then the next year we have silver. This year happens to be gold so the angel is on top of the tree.
Plain but simple :D
My room this year is definitely been made into Christmas which I've never done before but it makes me happier this year.
I have my own little wreath on my bedroom door which also lights up with a Santa wreath door hanger.
This gives a really cute effect when there's no lights on in the house which is really cute.
I also have the Christmas bedding and pillows to match.
Keeping it with the plain and simple effect this stag duvet set was £22 from TJHudges which I think is a bargain as the material is thick and so cosy to snuggle into. the Reindeer pillows were £8 each or 2 for £10 so of course I had to get 2 of them.
My mum brought me a cinema light box last month which everyday i'm changing the quote on it to inspire me for the day ahead. So with Christmas coming up and myself being so busy at work I've just keep the same quote on it as it looks good.
Keeping up the believing in Father Christmas in this house!
Well I better get back to my present wrapping!
I'll do a blog later in the week of different ideas on wrapping presents and little gift ideas.
Hope you are all getting ready for Christmas day!
Only 13 sleeps left!!
