AT LAST!
My Christmas tree is up!
It feel like I'm super late to this party if I'm honest - people seem to have had their Christmas trees and decorations up for weeks!
Lets face it, for a few weeks now, there have been plenty of signs that Christmas is coming, the works Christmas party has been and gone, the Christmas shopping is well under way, its absolutely freezing & snow is forecast for the weekend....
I absolutely love this time of year and I love Christmas Day itself, but I think it's really important to remember that this time of year isn't about the circus that surrounds Christmas - the decorations.... the presents.... it's about family and friends.
There is nothing I love more than arriving home at my Mum and Dads on Christmas Eve.
I have no idea what why, but it is one of my favourite feelings. From the welcome I get as I walk through the door, to the catch up with a glass of wine, waiting for my brother to arrive. I love every single moment!
Thinking about that now makes me realise how lucky I am to have the family I do.
We maybe don't spend enough time together and its maybe difficult to get everyone in the same place at the same time, but when it actually happens.... it's the best.
What does your Christmas Eve involve?
