Decorating for Christmas





 
As it’s just over two weeks until Christmas (crazy I know!) I thought I would do a bit of a different post for you today. Me and my mam decided to spend the day decorating the house yesterday, putting up the Christmas tree and putting out all the festive bits, and I thought I would show you how we decorate. I thought this would be nice for you to get any inspiration for your home, or if you’re just a bit nosey like me.

 
 





 

Aaah, the Christmas tree. The thing that gives any house an extra special festive touch. I love the Christmas tree every year, but this year it seems a bit more special for some strange reason. My family don’t have a specific colour scheme for our tree like a lot of people, we tend to use family ornaments that have been passed down and always buy a couple of new ones each year. I personally love this as I think it gives it that extra touch of magic (I’m a bit weird okay). One thing that I wish we did have on our tree was some lights as I’m a bit obsessed, but as soon as I move out I’ll make my wish come true and have lights everywhere!






On the bookcase in our living room, we put out this really cute ‘Ho, Ho, Ho’ sign. It’s green, red and white and has glitter all over it which makes it sparkle like crazy. It also has a Santa Claus with a red and white hat instead of the first ‘O’ in ‘Ho, Ho, Ho’ which I think is a cute touch.






 
 
On one of our tables we have this gold reindeer and a little gingerbread house with a tea light inside. The gold reindeer usually stands on a black tray on the bookcase, but this year we decided to just put it on table and I think that it looks really festive. The little gingerbread house is probably one of my favourite things that we have put out this Christmas. It has a tea light inside and when it is lit, the light projects out of the gaps in the house and creates a really nice effect. This looks so cute and festive when it is in the corner of the room and I love it.
 

 
 
I haven’t gone all out with the decorations in my bedroom this year; I just have a couple of little things and have kept it quite simple. Hanging on the wall behind my bed, I have this really sparkly light blue snowflake. I bought this from a garden centre near to where I live a couple of weeks ago, purely because of how sparkly and eye catching it was. The colour slightly blends into my walls and I love this as it makes the glitter stand out more and makes it even more festive.


 

I also have this cute little bell in my room which just sits on my dresser. I bought this from a market for about £1 and I’m obsessed with it. It reminds me of the bell from The Polar Express and this made it even more appealing as it is one of my favourite Christmas films. It has ‘welcome’ written around it and has little presents and stars painted onto it. It also has little stars which have been cut out of it which makes it look really dainty and cute in my bedroom.
