I have a couple of initial Christmas decorations that I bought whenever I first moved into my new house - at first I had just a P (for Pumpkin my dog) and a C for my name. A couple of years later I got an M for my partner. This year we shall be putting up a new tree in a new house with an extra P for Pippa, our 9 month old daughter

Yes I know it's bad but thing I could not be without is my Sellotape. I buy loads of it at Christmas to get through wrapping presents handing cards and decorations.

A little Christmas craft with the kids always gets us in a festive mood. Beautiful handmade items to hand on the tree always make Christmas just that little bit more special and personal x

We cant live without a fresh new big TV blanket..its our house ' treat' we normally get a lovely one form Costco every year around this time. Perfect for family snuggles on the sofa, watching films and keeping us all warm. I also cant live without the slow cooker... we use it so much this time of year and its fab for cooking lovely warm hearty one pot meals or joints of meat though the day so you can just relax and wait for it :-)

I can never have too many Christmas lights

The tree but surely that is always there. Regarding anything else it would have to be mulled wine! Mmmmm

mince pies just love them

A wreath to welcome my guests before they have even entered my home! www.homebase.co.uk/en/homebaseuk/berries-and-pinecone-christmas-wreath-370269 and a garland to hang over our fireplace to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere in our home! www.homebase.co.uk/en/homebaseuk/pre-lit-pine%2C-cones-and-berries-garland-369834

I can't get by without lots of fairy lights and sticky tape!

I love the twinkling lights - makes the home feel really Christmassy once they are on.

I can't get by without lots of fairy lights and sticky tape!

Very dull but it's got to be sellotape . I've got through so much already that and body weight of mince pies and mini stollen

I could get through Christmas without a real Christmas tree. I love the scent of the pine in the house and going to choose one with the kids. The worst part is getting rid of it in the New Year. Homebase could offer a shredding services and the bark could be taken back home and placed on the garden as mulch!

I absolutely love seeing Christmassy wintry garlands on my mantelpiece, and weaving up the stair banister. It looks so traditional and homely and makes me smile when I come in.

Oops I meant "I couldn't get through Christmas without a real tree"!

www.homebase.co.uk/en/homebaseuk/red-knitted-stocking-with-buttons-372562

My favourite part of xmas is being woken early by my very excited kids jumping on our bed with their stockings, I love watching their faces light up while digging for surprises

Christmas lights, and plenty of spare ones! I always have lights which end up popping or not working, so I have reserves on hand, there are never enough in the house, I like the house to sparkle!

As a family, we all enjoy Christmas, with a decorated tree, Christmas lights, plenty of food, good company etc. However, we are also Christians and, as the whole celebration is based around the birth of Jesus, we always have a nativity scene on our mantlepiece. We have a carved, wooden nativity scene, but this one also looks really nice www.homebase.co.uk/en/homebaseuk/porcelain-nativity-scene-380976

Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without the nativity scene my Mum made when I was little, & it has been displayed every year since so has become a tradition.

It wouldn't be Christmas without fairy lights! They make everything look festive and magical without costing much

www.homebase.co.uk/en/homebaseuk/bosch-ixo-cordless-lithium-ion-36v-screwdriver-454314

This screwdriver - saves so much effort and sore hands when you're putting together Christmas presents. Also an ideal present for anyone who hasn't got one.

Paper snowflakes. Even as a thirty-something grown up, I still love to make them and it frustrates me when the kids do it wrong!

www.homebase.co.uk/en/homebaseuk/100-warm-white-led-timer-lights-371246

Warm white fairy lights. Hundreds of them, all over bith if my christmas trees.

I really like the 'Nordic Shelter' look on the Homebase website, very similar to the look we're going for this year.

Lots of stars are essential for us, just like these.
