The Turkey, I know lots of people do have something else but it wouldn't feel the same for me.

Has to be the good ole kettle. When Christmas shopping is getting to much and life is stressful there's nothing better than a cuppa!

Christmas dinner. It just wouldn't be Christmas without a roast dinner with all the trimmings. Nothing else would do to replace that.

Batteries. Fairy lights. And a small toy dog with a Santa hat who has adventures a la elf on the shelf!

I always get some funky new glasses for the table at Christmas and these are really pretty and fun!

I couldn't give up ensuring all my decs match. Literally brings me out in a cold sweat if i see a xmas tree with multi coloured baubles lol Even my lights match. This year i have a blue tree with blue and teal baubles and blue lights. My ceiling decorations are all blue and teal.

Fairy lights. I love all the twinkling lights, and the more the better on the tree as far as I'm concerned. It just wouldn't be Christmas without them.

I couldnt not have a real Christmas tree. The smell of the Christmas tree when you come down every morning over Christmas is amazing! You couldnt pay me enough to have a plastic one and lose that authentic Christmas smell!

My essential = its got to be a Christmas tree

non twinkly warm light fairy lights by the hundreds, and pine boughs to make the house smell nice

I've had the same stocking since I was a small child. That sense of tradition really means Christmas to me. I have a two year old and hope that his stocking stays with him for as long as mine has but I'm also heavily pregnant and expecting soon and so a new stocking for my newborn is the one thing I can't get through Christmas without. This knitted version is gorgeous!:

A tree with colour co-ordination and a few of the children's handmade ornaments!!

It has to be Christmas lights, I don't mind what colour just as long as I have lots of them!

My mum. I don't know how I would manage Christmas without her.

Honestly??
I want to say songs blaring as we wrap the presents & talk about what we are thankful for ...whilst looking at my beautiful kids....
The reality is a HUGE selection of stinky cheese & biscuits & a cheeky cider when the kiddies have gone to bed

All done

Advent Calendars

A proper tree and some white twinkly lights for the window
