Our Christmas Traditions
When we were little my sister and I used to stay at home with our Gran on Christmas Eve, while my parents went out for the day. We thought they were speaking with Santa about last minute gifts or to see if we were on the naughty or nice list. 😅 … They were actually Christmas shopping and going out for lunch! Now that we’re older we get invited to…

Gift ideas for men (written by men)
Is it just me or are men sometimes the hardest to buy for? When asked what they want for Christmas, birthdays or fathers day the answer is usually “nothing”, “you don’t have to get me anything” or “I need more socks”. 😅 With that in mind, I’ve asked a few of the men in my life to help with this post (thanks guys!).

Christmas tree, O Christmas tree
… 🎼 Lit up like a star. ⭐ Anyone else love hearing that song? It always reminds me of Home Alone 2 when Kevin McCallister causes the cardboard Christmas tree to fall down! 😅 Decorating the Christmas tree is definitely one of my favourite things about this time of year. As a child I’d beg for our Christmas tree to go up as early as possible but my parents would…

Which is Autumn / Winter themed, and if you’ve been reading my blog for a while, you’ll know it’s my favourite time of year. 😍 You can read her answers here, and if you’d like to do this tag yourself, feel free!

Christmas stationery ft Little Pencil Design
Back in October I talked about a Halloween stationery mystery bag I picked up from Little Pencil Design on Etsy. So when I heard they were also offering a Christmas themed one I snapped one up. Read my Halloween stationery review here. First up are these Christmas character cards themed cards which I’ll be turning into Christmas tags.

Favourite Christmas Movies *
Advent is in two days(!) and what better way to start off the Christmas period than by watching a Christmas movie? 🎅 My dad and I have a tradition that the first Christmas movie we watch is The Muppets Christmas Carol so that’s what I’ll be doing on December 1st. We have a sing-a-long session and it gets me in to the Christmas spirit. After that first movie most of…
