Christmas is coming

I don’t know about you, but I’m beginning to think about {and get excited about} Christmas already… Timehop kindly reminded me the other day that this time last year I’d already done all my Christmas shopping… I was trying to be sorted ahead of having a baby though!

I have started my shopping, stocking fillers are done and main gifts ordered. I need to sort through my box of ornaments and see what I have, I’m thinking of picked a few new baubles up – mainly as a lot of mine are vintage glass ones, and I don’t think they’ll mix any too well with a Beastie!

The thing I’m incredibly excited for this year is we’re having a real tree! We’ve had an artificial tree for the past few years, as our old house was tiny and we needed a tall, slim tree. This time around, we have loads of space and I’m really looking forward to having a giant real tree in the living room. We’ve ordered an 8ft {!!!} tree from Pines and Needles.  {If you want to order a tree – use my code ‘EPIX15’ and you’ll get a free mini tree AND holly & mistletoe!

I watched jealously last year as lots of my friends had theirs delivered, and saw how fab they looked, so I got ours ordered and booked in nice and early this year. It’s due for delivery on the 27th November and we can’t wait! I’m not sure what Beastie will think to having a tree in the house ha! As we don’t have a car, it’s so much easier being able to get our tree delivered than going to get one anywhere… I don’t think G would be too thrilled at having to carry an 8ft tree home.

I also picked up this lovely little Christmas Tree canvas, I’m thinking it would brighten up a bathroom maybe! It looks lovely when the lights are twinkling away.

Are you getting ready for Christmas already?
