Christmas decor

This weekend we put up our decorations. This is our first Christmas in our own home and we haven't gone over the top. We've got a small 4ft tree, brought second hand, and a few decorations. I'm not really feeling all the tacky bits I usually love. So this year is about simplicity. 

Christmas lights do make things cosy. I can't wait to watch Christmas films lounging on the sofa with a mug of hot chocolate. Perfect.

Christmas twig tree

I've seen and pinned so many of these beautiful twigs trees and I thought there's no excuse not to have one. We had bad weather here recently, floods and high winds so there's a lot of fallen trees/twigs. The other morning we popped out to a flee market and on the way back came across a fallen branch. I put the Mr to work and he broke me off some branches. After he had finished being a reindeer!

 Not only are we recycling (or stealing depending on how you look at it) we're making our home look pretty too!

So off you go, gather some twigs and decorate. You may have noticed I've used my salt dough ornaments on mine.
