Deck The Halls

This week Brad and I decided to put our Christmas tree up, its a bit early for me normally but seeing as this year we have Fletcher and people will be visiting us through out the month, we figured the house needed to look festive!

I am quite a perfectionist  and would not let Brad decorate at all plus he's a bit of a Scrooge and I'd rather do it myself. Let me tell you it is hard to put up Christmas decorations with a new baby. It took me two days to put it up but I am so happy with my tree in the end!

This year my side of the family are all getting together and having Christmas day at my house. It will be the first time in a long time that I have spent a Christmas day with my grandma, and every year she gets us a Terrys chocolate orange ( we don't talk about the year she tried to trick us). The traditions are all coming out in this house this year. Think home alone, Christmas tree chocolate decorations and mulled wine!!

What are your Christmas traditions?

Matalan Christmas

Just to put it out there first, Matalan have not asked me to do this post nor have i been sponsored by them. I genuinely went on to their website and fell completely in love with all their christmas stuff! 

This year is going to be my first Christmas at home, in my own home, with a new baby boy. To say im excited is an understatement. In the past brad and I havent had enough space to buy a Christmas tree and decorate a house, so this year I'm really eager to make it something special. Especially as Brad is a bit of a scrooge. This year is going to be our first at home, in our own home surrounded by family. In the past we have always worked on Christmas day, so I honestly cannot wait to get planning and decorating.

I found all the items pictured on Matalans Website, and i just think it is adorable. It looks so nice and traditional too and nothing is overpriced at all. I can not wait to start purchasing some of this stuff! 

I'm aiming for a very traditional theme this year, as in France and in the mountains thats just the way Christmas Feels. It is so beautiful and i would love to just recreate that a little bit in my own home. All this makes me feel like a child entering a sweet shop for the first time. My opportunities are endless! 

Are you getting anything new for Christmas decorations wise this year? Is there any shops for Christmas decorations you would recommend? any suggestions very appreciated!
