Gifts I have been given, paintings the children have done, mementos from my childhood home, photos of my family taken over generations, all my little personal treasures make my house a home.

All of the general clutter and toys we accumulate make our house a home. Although i sometimes hanker after some of the 'perfect' designer houses in the glossy mags it doesn't reflect our life and the fun my DC derive from their many many toys and hard crafted artwork.

The woodburners and the snuggly throws make it very homely, its hard to drag us out to walk the dogs on particularly wet days!

the decorations the DCs have done and proudly arranged, make it feel homely at Christmas, but then all year round, it's the DCs who make this a home, not just a house. And yes, they mark the walls, and there's a shed load of toys every where (and sodding Bear YoYo cards all over the place), but it's them that move it from somewhere I sleep and eat to a home.

The tree and the decorations put up by the whole family. Every year since tiny my DC have chosen a new bauble every year and it's lovely to see them on the tree.
Coming home and just flopping on the sofa with a hot drink knowing its your space to relax in.
The cats asleep on the chairs or beds purring away.
Just feeling comfortable in your own little world

The home-made decorations, biscuits, and cakes that I make with my 4-year-old son.

We have fairy lights up all year round. We also have candles, dimming lamps and plenty of throws and cushions!

the smells of homemade baking yummy

Aside of all the pictures, soft furnishing and candles etc, what makes my house a home are the memories made there

the twinkling of the fairy lights always seem to finish it off for me! Obviously the family, fun and laughter are the main ingredient for a happy christmas home

I have photos everywhere. Also scented candles are always on the go & during Christmas season I use cinnamon or pine scents

My family and our memories xx

ALL THECHANGES WE HAVE MADE SINCE MOVING IN.

Meals around the dining room table that seem to go on forever as we all catch up on each others news.

My wife and two daughters make our house a home. Without them it would just an empty shell.

Has to be my family. Having a pet is also part of it in our house. A cosy atmosphere and processions help too.

My TV helps make my house my HOME

As long as I have my loved ones around me that's all that matters

The sight and sounds of exited children preparing for Christmas.

Being able to relax and shut out the world

My children make it a home

Cooking smels! Cinnamon, spices, baking gingerbread...no amount of tinsel can evoke the same 'it's Christmas' response' :)

Being able to come home and put the Christmas tree lights on. A bright sparkle in the corner of the room. the fire glowing. Settled down cosy and snug with a hot chocolate and the Christmas movie channel. Relaxing, homely, Bliss!

Photographs on the walls of my family and friends, our open fire and the odd vase of flowers.
