Rocking around the Christmas tree! Tradition says that the tree should go up on 1st December, however I am always guilty of getting a little bit excited and putting it up earlier! I like to get into the spirit early and will put on a festive playlist, sip on some mulled wine (although this year I’ve had to skip this tradition) and pop on my favourite winter PJs.
This year I’m decorating the tree with my younger sister Romana. My mum always likes to pull out decorations that have been made by her kids over the years; cute you may think, but the tree ends up as a mismatch of sequin covered stars and papier-mâché!
Check out my top festive tips for decorating your tree...
1. Pick a theme
Romana likes the tree to have a theme and look sparkly and neat just like me, so this year we decided on the colours red and gold. These are great festive colours and capture the theme of festive love.
2. Hang your lighting
We chose sparkly lights and LED stars.
3. Hang your baubles and decorations
We managed to find the most beautiful glass hearts that became our focal decorations. We then filled the rest of the tree with classic baubles and Christmas bells.
4. Don’t forget the rest of the home
Nutcrackers are a great addition to help spread the Christmas spirit throughout the home.
