Light Up Polar Bear Family with Snowball

My husband is the grinch, he hates Xmas decorations but I would love it if we bought these as we are the only house in our cul de sac that doesn't'deck the halls'

Fairy lights and After Eights.

I would love this chandelier to finish off my living room

A real tree. With real smell. Even in our first house, when we had no other decorations and no money, we managed to find a little tree and I made paper dec's for it. It's become a family event for us all to get one now, so it's definitely a must have in our house.

Lights. Has to be lights. Not even bothered about the tree if I can have more lights.

I know that I can live without a big tree and all it's decorations. But I have to have the net of white lights in the window and the blue light on my shelf and the multi coloured lights in my tree. They cheer me up so much, I wouldn't want to do without them.

With eight grandchildren you can never have enough batteries to wrap up with the powered toys so that they get hours of pleasure without them running out of juice

Christmas isn't about buying things, sorry Homebase! Essential items include good food, good company and fun. Nothing else is essential c

making my own xmas cake it's just so much better than the shop bought ones

Definitely candles. I have loads and tend to forget them at other times of the year so I go mad with them at Christmas. It is the one thing I missed when the children were tiny as I never dared risk naked flames around them!
