What's on my Christmas tree

So I thought this might make a bit of a different post to the usual. This is the first year Vince and I will be celebrating Christmas in our new house so it was really fun to decorate the tree ourselves.

I bought some pretty simple decorations from Sainsburys and Poundland. The red and white felt decorations are really cute and come in lots of different shapes such as a reindeer, angel, bell and a star. I think they're something a little different!

I don't care what my mum says (she hates tinsel) a Christmas tree always has to contain tinsel and my sister kindly gave me a big bag of the stuff to use. It included mostly purple and green so we bought some blue as well (so it was more boyish for Vince!). The more colours the better I say!

The baubles are really simple silver glitter, mirror and matte ones, which I personally think look really nice. The tree is complete with some red beads, multicoloured lights and some white lights as well. We even sprayed a few bits of the tree with some fake snow! Vince also accidentally sprayed my leggings in the process.

We tried to decorate the tree on a bit of a budget as we didn't want to go too mad. The decorations were pretty cheap and the tinsel was from the Poundland, but I think it's lovely and festive. It would be nice to collect some baubles or decorations to keep and use year after year. I guess in time we'll gather these bits and pieces, but the chocolates and candy canes will definitely be coming off and eaten, to be replaced next year with more!

What's on your Christmas tree this year? Merry Christmas every one!
