Blogmas: it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

Is it me or has christmas seemed to have exploded this year? I feel like far more people have started putting their decorations up early and in general the christmas buzz just seems to be on all around. 

Obviously this year is mine and Adams first christmas together so we have literally had to start from scratch. I have been excited for getting Christmas stuff since we went to Trentham in October and they were just starting to put all the Christmas stuff out. 

We decided we were going to put our tree up on the 1st December but we got to the 23rd November and we couldn't wait any longer so we whacked on a Christmas movie (miracle on 34th street - of course!) and up the tree went!! 

One thing I insisted on when we were looking for a tree was that I wanted a huge tree and we ended up with a 7ft tree which we brought from Sainsburys Homebase. 

With it being our first christmas I wanted to get a really special decoration however when I looked into it the only ones I could find were either too expensive or I didn't like. When I was shopping for decorations in Wilkos (who have some absolutely fantastic decorations) I spotted this star so I decided to pick it up and do one ourselves! This was just £1 and I think is so much more personal. 

I am looking forward to many christmas where we can continue to build traditions and collect decorations. 

Are you excited for Christmas this year?? Have you got your tree up yet??
