Buying And Decorating Our Christmas Tree

Buying And Decorating Our Christmas Tree

Happy Friday all! It's not long now until the big day, and Mike and I took a trip out this week to buy our Christmas tree from a nearby forest. It definitely got us in the festive spirit! Of course I took the opportunity to vlog the occasion - this is as close to vlogmas as I was ever going to get this year!

When it comes to decorating the tree, I've stuck to a colour theme for the past few years - mostly gold, silver and white, with a few touches of red here and there. I always really like how this combination turns out. If you want to see, you can watch the video on YouTube, or right here.



Is your tree up yet? And how have you decorated it?

  3. I need to checkout your tree later, I can only read right now. In Germany the tree goes up pretty late, usually the weekend before Christmas Eve.

    1. This always used to be the case in the UK too, in fact in the olden days it went up on Christmas Eve itself! Now it feels like if you haven't done everything in the first week of December you're too late, which is a shame. x

    1. The tree was nearly 8ft tall, and I'm 5'3, so the sofa and stepladder were necessary! x

    1. There are so many beautiful decorations around these days, you can make a house look beautifully festive without a tree! x

  13. I actually can't get over how graceful you look decorating that tree. Let's just say when I did mine, I had trouble standing on the ladder and kept knocking over baubles as I tried to make my way around the damn thing hahahaha!

    HAVE A MERRY CHRISTMAS!
