Hello!
I hope you're doing well and...HAPPY CHRISTMAS EVE EVE!
I'm super excited for Christmas this year...and every year, I love Christmas- the music, the decorations, the food, family, friends and...THE PRESENTS!
Every year we always say "I'm not going mad this year..." and end up with our bank accounts looking very sorry for themselves.
Well, this year has been no different! Although, it is the season of good will and I just love watching people open their gifts and see the look on their faces when they get something they truly love.
So that's how I try to justify my spending!
This year we decided to get a real tree for our lounge. We have a giant 7ft tree up in the loft and it's just so much effort putting the thing up- it has colour co-ordinating arms that go into specific slots and it's just so much effort.
So we chose the most adorable real tree and went crazy with the lights, baubles and tinsel.
I'd forgotten how much I love the smell of a real Christmas tree, it takes me back to when we used to have real trees when I was little. The smell defines Christmas for me and I love our little tree.
I've enjoyed decorating our house with Christmas decorations too, we have fairy lights everywhere and tinsel hanging from picture frames and wrapped around the stairs bannister.
It literally looks like Santa's Grotto here, super cosy!
As well as the lovely, Christmassy smell from our tree, I decided to get a couple of festive candles from our local supermarket.
They were only £4.00 each so I got two!
This first candle in the red glass jar is called "Cheerful Spirits Apple and Cinnamon". It smells like Christmas to me. I have this candle in my lounge next to my King Pug which one of my lovely friends bought for me. (Pug obsessed)
My other choice of candle is this one in an orange glass jar called "Warm Orange". I decided to have this candle in the kitchen and it smells amazing!
I recommend these candles, they're great value for money and very good quality too.
And lastly, a massive Merry Christmas to you! Thank you for your continued support and love, here's to a happy and healthy New Year! Have an amazing time whatever you're doing.
