Its starting to look like Christmas....

Sorry the picture is on its side but for some reason I dont seem able to rotate it !! Well any-way I was bullied by my family on Sunday 2nd December into putting up the christmas tree so up it went. But that was on the grounds that we can take it back down again the day after boxing day. I LOVE Chrsitmas but the decorations being up for ages drives me insane. Last year I threw away all the old shoddy decorations that we had had about 10 years and in the January sales brought some new ones. So when we opened the Christmas box we where all oh yes I remember now. But we did have to make a trip out to buy some more and in the process spent about £100 as we got new lights as well.

This is our new angel for the top of the tree and yes she is glass. My son picked her and I think he made an excellent choice. We had our old angel for a good many years but she was too big and metal so getting her to stay at the top of the chirstmas tree was always a challenge.

They are some of our other new Christmas tree decorations. The elephant is hand made by a lovely lady also called Clare...she has a business called Just elephants (http://www.justelephants.co.uk/) you should check it out. She makes all kinds of themed elephants as well as other felt animals.

They are just some of our other decorations that we have got hanging from the living room ceiling. My 6 year old son asks me every morning how many days have we got till Christmas and when I tell him he says 'Oh thats still too long'. I think he will still say that when I say 2 days to go !!
I doubt I will get time to blog again before Christmas so I wish you all a very merry christmas x x
