Blinging heck it's xmas !

Sorry for the cheesy title this morning. I love xmas and i always try and make our home nice and festive looking for the kids as i think it's one of the best bits about the xmas period. This plus the fact that i happen to love a bit of bling and sparkle makes it a fab excuse to hunt out all that glitters in abundance.

 I decided to go for a traditional coloured theme this year for a change. I had great fun decorating the tree this year with the kids.

Santa had to be featured of course. The little Santa on the right is designed to hold a tea light and light up. The little snow village is fiber optic and changes colour. So pretty.

 The window ledge has lots of glass beads and tiny fairy lights too.

 Rocco's favourite is the snowman.

The house looks so pretty at night when i light the lanterns and switch on all the fairy lights. These pink stars are strung across the fireplace in the lounge. The rest of the xmas decorations are in the dining room as that's where there is the most space and where we will spend most of xmas day.

 The nativity. I always like to have a little nativity set out on display. The kids love to play with these and after all i think the meaning of xmas is sometimes lost and little things like this are a good reminder.
Have you got your decorations up yet?
