A few pictures of the almost finished decorations (well tons actually!). Why is it so tricky to take pictures of a Christmas tree?! Impossible. And close-up it all looks a bit messy and sorry about the tights drying on the radiator, what a picture of class! Absolutely all the decorations had to go on, Barney hasn't discovered subtlety yet I'm afraid! 
My festive dresser and my favourite ilix berries. 
Barney keeps asking when we can eat Father Christmas but I can't bear to open him. I've found some sweet miniature versions that will definitely find their way into his stocking though. 
Joy! This is the look on Archie's face every night when we turn on the boy's tree lights. It's everything Christmas is about. 
I found this angel in a garden centre a few years ago and it was the last one left. It was only a few pounds and is probably my favourite decoration. 
Isn't this glass heart pretty. My lovely friend Lucy gave it to me and I love the way the sun shines through it.
The boy's tree 
and the decorations 
My infamous cards - can you spot the blank ones?! Not too many - honest Found the perfect thing to display my collection of vintage Christmas postcards but annoyingly I can't actually hang it on a door (it's propped up on the floor here) because our doors turn out to have weird laminate on them and I can't even knock a nail in!
A corner of Christmas in the bedroom. My new bedside table and somewhere finally to put my pretty bits and pieces.Enjoy the shortest day, hope it leaves everyone enough time!

Your house is looking amazing, and I love the thought of bringing out old favourite cards. I never have enough space for the ones I get each year though. Have a lovely Christmas and New Year,

Hi Steph
Everything looks marvellous. I've done our tree and put up the cards but I'm afraid that't it!! I might manage to decorate a bit more if there's time later today!
Have a wonderful time over Christmas in your new home. I can imagine there'll be plenty of fun and frivolity!
