I think it was the cold crisp air and the smell of fires burning on Saturday that got us feeling all christmasy so we went out in search of a christmas tree. Well the one I pointed to and the one I bought home are not the same size so we have ended up with a rather big christmas tree. There is something very special about a real tree. I think its the smell of pine bringing back memories of christmas as a child when it seemed so magical.
I think you can get away with a lot at Christmas when it comes to decorating your home. Basically at this time of year you can hang all the little sparkley twinkley things that you can lay your hands on. However be prepared to be a little sad when you have to take them all down after christmas and now your home suddenly looks very boring and dull. I am heading home to Australia for christmas this year but I still want to decorate the apartment and put up a tree with fake presents underneath.

Living Etc tips for Christmas - display baubles in vases or cluster together and hang from the ceiling. Wrap present in old newspapers or left over wallpaper. If you have a garden line the path with lanterns(paper lanterns above are from Cox & Cox). Use a wire frame to display christmas cards (you can buy something similar to the heart shape one above at Plumo)
