As you may know already I am a big fan of Christmas and especially decorating! I always look forward to getting all the boxes out of the loft each year to turn the house into a christmasy palace. I decorated last week in between college and work and I think it turned out okay! The fireplaces are the main bits to decorate and I love hanging the stockings up as they always look nice and add a bit more to the room.
My favourite part is choosing the tree, we bit off more than we could chew this year with this tree as it is around 10ft and we needed to trim some branches! But I think decorated, it looks lovely and the smell of pine is the best. Christmas is also a time for eating way too much! As my whole family experienced first hand at this years Christmas Dinner. It looked lovely and cosy with the fire lit and the table set but there was far too much food for us all!
We had some adorable salt and pepper shakers which you can see above (Santa and Mrs Claus) and some lovely hand made Christmas wine glasses. Overall it was a really nice dinner and we all enjoyed our selves a little too much with the after dinner Christmas trivia which my brothers girlfriend brought over from America, it was for kids but at least it was entertaining!
I also took the chance to decorate my room and I found this scented candle which smells amazing, its 'citrus ginger spice' and smells so nice! I have never really had a scented candle which actually makes the room smell, but this one works really well and I love it. (I think I will have to buy some more!) It was from Matalan in the home section and it was only £3 so not expensive at all. It was only a in a plain glass jar (see picture) but I decided to make it look a bit more festive by adding some ivy, pine cones and a few bells.
I hope you all have a really nice Christmas this year and enjoy yourself!
