Every year I wait eagerly for the 1st December to arrive. Why? Because the 1st December is a very special day in our household... it is the day I can officially start decorating the house, playing Christmas carols and baking yummy goodies. This year was no different. Tuesday morning I made my way up into the attic and hauled all the boxes down. I swear each year it seems the collection has grown while in storage. I never remember packing quite so much away... but that has an upside too - I always have a few surprises when unpacking! Of course the first thing up is the Christmas tree. This process takes a good few hours. Sadly we don't get the beautiful live trees of colder countries, so I am faced with the very tedious task of unfolding all the branches one by one. But, in spite of an hour long hunt for the tree lights, I have a wonderful time and this is the result:
Next on the decoration list is the famous Christmas Village! This is very time consuming and I often find that I need to do it in stages. I particularly need a nice little break after untangling all the cables - let's just say I'm not the most patient person in the world. But I love the end result. I can sit for ages just gazing at the little town I've created; imagining what's going on and what conversations all the little people are having - yes I'm crazy!
So in honour of this special time of year I have changed things up a bit with a new Christmas template. And below are some pics of the tree ornaments I got while in London. Until next time, Happy Holidays!!!
