How to rectify this, easy, decorate with a flood of Christmas with added extra sparkle.
But where to start...
The stairs seemed like a logical place to start. Nearly the centre of the house, I will be able to spiral out from there.
Mmm pinecones. I love a good pinecone.
This year however, I adorned the stairs and hallway with lights. Shoddy little fairy lights which are incredibly old but hey, they still work and look quite good!
Lights went up everywhere. It was spectacularly dazzling.
The preparation for Christmas isn't all about the decorations. It is also the activities which coincide with that festive tradition.
Simple activities such as Christmas tree shaped crumpets for breakfast...
Or making gingerbread decorations. It is incredibly satisfying creating gingerbread. Not entirely why. From the rolling out, through to the baking.
Or making gifts. In this case, I helped make 2 Christmas tree candles for Hogmanay (Scottish New Year).
Best of all though, are the tiny Christmas puddings served with brandy infused raspberry jam.
YUM!
