my cat

A christmas tree, decorations and two cats and a toddler make it feel very christmassy.

The lights, festive scented candles, thick socks and onesies, too many snacks and being cuddles up watching classic films with a glass of Baileys.

My cats!

Family and pets make a home, all the fixtures and fittings are nice, but family and pets make the home.

The Photo's on the wall, the toys strewn across the floor, the pile of washing escaping from the basket and the sound of children playing all make my house a home :)

My house is my home- it's perfect waist height and above. Anything lower than that, it's 'customised' by my two little vandals with crayon, glitter and all manner of sticky finger prints!

laughter and tears

My family and my Christmas Tree!!

the smells, and the noise

We are just starting to create our little Christmas traditions, our sons are 2.9 and 8 months so I am looking forward to the future. This year I am starting the Christmas Eve box tradition that I know so many do in the hope that it will be carried on throughout the years. We are also going to pick a real tree, something again that I hope will be something to look forward to each year.

So to answer the question, it is my family that makes my house a home. A house is just bricks and mortar, for me personally it's the love within that makes it a home. And photos.....lots and lots of photos.

Having all the xmas decorations up and a big sack of presents - plus keeping the TV off - xmas is the time for families

Cosy lights and furniture, warmth, familiarity and just the feeling that I am safe I guess, my DS tells me that even if we win the lottery he would still want to live in our house as its so cosy, a sign I am doing something right.

Well my Two Smelly Dogs - of course! And my family - but they don't smell so bad!

family pictures make a home for me

The kitchen is the heart of our home where we can sit together, bake, do messy play, & have a laugh

Home is where ever my children are. The photos on our walls, drawings on the fridge all make it our home.

I buy a new bauble for the Christmas tree each year. We also have a tradition of wrapping presents on Christmas Eve with Christmas music on and a glass of wine each. One of my favourite times

baking and family x x x

Candles, homemade food made by my DD (she's very good at it too!), personal touches and memories, own décor that we've put together. Mainly the little things :)

FAMILY

Evening time when it's dark out. The lights on the tree are on and we are all in together watching a film or playing a board game. Lovely.

When the Christmas tree goes up, the lights go on, the fire is lit, and there is the smell of a Christmas loaf baking -:)

Our two little kittens playing with the baubles on the Christmas tree!

My family, lots of photos and the decorations the kids have made over the years taking pride of place on the tree
