Tis The Season..

It's December 1st therefore it is officially CHRISTMAS! 

Christmas songs have been played on the radio today so therefore it must be time to get in the festive mood! 

I had a day off from work today so therefore i decided to turn my house into a festive grotto since i couldn't resist waiting any longer. I never understand the whole 12 days before Christmas thing & only 12 days after (regarding tree's) - why oh why would you not want a Christmas tree up for the whole of December?! 

So as of this evening there are now 4 Christmas tree's! Oh and then my housemate showed up with a fibre optic multi coloured tree & another tree so soon there will be 6 - full on Christmas grotto! 

This is the tree in the living room - theme = PINK GLITTER!
(Pictures not very good !)  





This is actually the tree i used to Halloween but re-used for Christmas! 
Decorated with little stars & clip on glittery sequin birds. 
Oh and stood beside it are the obligatory glittery stags! 

I should point out now pretty much all decorations etc are all Paperchase!! (Blatantly.. where else?!) 











This is the pretty little purple tree in my bedroom, just decorated with snowflakes & blue jingle bells with a bit of pink tinsel!


THE MAIN ATTRACTION -
I'm very proud of my Christmas tree decorating skills. Although its become somewhat of a mish-mash of decorations over the past 2-3 years. I've tried to stick to a multi colour glitter theme! Including stags / penguins / skulls / snowflakes!
I don't actually think that i could stand to have a traditional Christmas tree - you know ones with actual festive things on like father christmas baubles etc. I LOVE having glitter skulls & all that jazz on my tree!! 
Although while i was decorating today it made me realise that i am probably going to turn into one of those mothers who won't let their kids decorate the tree for fear of them not doing it correctly!! 

To say that i have been listening to Christmas music & am now surrounded by quite a few Christmas tree's i actually don't feel that festive yet... maybe i will once i've watched Home Alone?! 

We're making Christmas wreathes at my next W.I meeting which is exciting as i've never made one before! I'm trying to think of a theme for mine.. might go silver / black! Or i could just go down the traditional route.... 

XOXO
