I couldn't live without my open fire and watching a Christmas DVD preferably elf snuggled up with my family for me it is what Christmas is all about!

Real tree. It's the smell.

Nothing shouts "It's Christmaaaaaas" like a poinsettia

Without a second thought, it's my buffet Warmer, it has revolutionised the time I spend in the kitchen by not having to have all the food ready at a certain time, being able to keep veg and sausages, bacon rolls etc warm whilst other things are still cooking is a godsend. Less stress, happy mummy. Oh, and Buck's Fizz breakfast!!

Got to be a real tree for me. Can't get through without it!

Christmas wouldn't be the same without a winter scene with cute models or teddies of reindeers, penquins, robins or elves. I put fluffy snow on the hearth of the fire and make up a winter scene. This Penquin would be ideal to join our Fireside Family

Nice and simple.

Oooops forgot my link! Try again moomin...!!

Perfect Christmas plates to put all my nutmeg and cinnamon infused biscuits and cakes on top yum!!

We much prefer reusable advent calendars as we can fill with suitable small items that the kids love. Much better than cheap chocolate ones. They look lovely too. Well worth the initial expense.

Dimplex Mansfield Opti-myst Electric Inset Fire - 2kW

www.homebase.co.uk/en/homebaseuk/dimplex-mansfield-opti-myst-electric-inset-fire---2kw-290703

This is just so 'homely' - nostalgic, classic, will keep you warm through those winter days and nights. Great if you have a traditional fireplace (which we do), but this inset fire heater is thin enough to have installed against a flat wall and a simple surrounding mantle piece section built around it.

I was going to say a poinsettia www.homebase.co.uk/en/homebaseuk/christmas-shop/christmas-house-plants/christmas-house-plants/poinsettia---13cm-199511 which I treat myself to every year.

BUT Christmas just wouldn't be right without tinsel! I just love the feel and smell (and have been known just to stick my face into a tinsel display and sniff....), it's got to be the thick fluffy stuff, preferably in traditional gold/red/green or silver.

Fizz. No celebration is complete without cava, prosecco or champagne. Any will do, I'm not fussy!

Got to be the tree. I'm a faker allthe way.

It has to be a real Christmas tree, with that wonderful smell, sitting in the corner decorated in the wild berry theme.

Has to be a poinsettia! Just having one in the house makes me feel all Christmassy

My house wouldn't feel fully dressed without a nice door wreath

It's not Christmas without the Christmas tree smell

A real Christmas tree

www.homebase.co.uk/en/homebaseuk/480-warm-white-led-christmas-lights-371112

Lots of warm white christmas lights. Nothing quite like the twinkle of lights on the houses and trees to make you feel cosy and festive.

When the season changes and the days get short and dark, I love extra twinkly lights - indoors and outdoors. They make the home feel cosy and welcoming and outdoors they make me feel safer, and they look pretty too. I like these white sets from Homebase because they are good value for money and they can be placed indoors or outdoors.

A diy wall art decoration made with string lights and decorations, homemade and real baubles etc. And baileys, obvs.

www.homebase.co.uk/en/homebaseuk/pre-lit-white-beaded-heart-light-371224

I have lights all over the house at Christmas, they give such a good atmosphere and make it look so cosy but festive as well.

This one will be my Christmas perfect...not for my hubby instead :D
