Christmas means la familie!

My husband and I absolutely ADORE christmas.This is an understatement.Christmas is our favourite time of year , firstly because we are very family orientated and this time of year allows us to be even more so.Christmas is also an optimistic season , and we are most certainly positive , optimistic people.

I have spent Christmases abroad and they are simply not the same! Thailand and Australia have NOTHING on spending Christmas in the UK with a crackling fire and a frosty beach walk.

Christmas for me is LOVE ACTUALLY. Unapologetically British , sentimental and unique.

I cannot wait , and we have already decorated our home to the tunes of mariah and george.We have wrapped probably a third of our presents and placed them under the tree , which looks divine!

I am at the age where it feels like christmas is more for the 'kids' and , not that the magic has worn off , but maybe that I will experience an entirely different kind of Christmas once we have our own family. This is even more exciting , I am sure we will go totally over the top then !

I must go turn on the fairy lights!
