One of the best parts of Christmas is putting up your tree, so here’s ours!
I love putting up the tree, christmas jumpers on, christmas tunes blaring out… perfect!
I love the traditional red, gold and green of our decorations.
What theme is your tree??
Until Next Time,

The great thing about Blogmas is I can try out loads of yummy recipes (for research purposes of course, you’re welcome 🤣)
So, yummy recipe no 1 is coming at you today!!

As always I used a BBC Good Food recipe as they are usually pretty fool proof and delicious.
The link is here .
These came out so well, are super chocolatey (I always add extra chocolate 🤦🏼♀️) & look how cute they are!!
I’m not as great at the finer detail when it comes to decorating things like this but, even I could do this haha! and I love how they turned out.
These would be great for a Christmas buffet table (and yes I am still having one even though there won’t be many of us, because come on 2020 or not… it’s Christmas & who doesnt love a buffet!!)
They would also make great gifts.
Here’s Day Three of my HP advent calender!

If you want to do Christmas on a budget, because let’s be honest, although we love the frills it’s all about the quality time, kindness and love that we share with our friends and family. Those are the things we remember.
But, that being said, I bloody love the decs! So heres a way to go full Christmas without breaking the bank, and we have Wilko to thank for it with their beautiful but incredibly reasonable Christmas decoration ranges.
I literally couldn’t choose between the cute tree decorations in this range (as it fits our Red, Gold & Green).
They would also make lovely gifts.
Alpine range
Polar Bear, £3
Wooden star tree, £3
Green metal tree, £2
Packs of 3 baubles, £4
Gingerbread biscuit car decoration, £1
Tree star topper, £2
Packs of plain coloured baubles, from £1
They have loads of different ones in different variety packs and sizes.
Sacks, £6 Stockings, £4
Pom Pom Garland, £1
Pom Pom Garland with bells, £6
Large bells silver and red, £1
I love this collection and it is one of a few that they have.
This one fits in perfectly with our red/gold/green theme.
They also have a icy collection that is lots of whites, silvers and blues, as well as a gold collection and a rose gold collection.
I have bought a few things from the alpine collection (I couldn’t resist!!) I also picked up a couple of the polar bears as I thought these were super cute and would be quite generic for any tree.
I’ve personalised these, with the year, to go into a few hampers that I’ve put together for family members.
ONE WEEK UNTIL CHRISTMAS!!

Festive Friendsfest
Today was such a fun day out with some of my work friends. We booked it a while ago but it seems to have come round so quickly!!
We went to Friendfest, the festive version in London, near Brick Lane.
I absolutely LOVE Friends and have previously been to the original Friends Fest with my sisters in Milton Keynes, in the summer.
Check that out here
I didn’t know what to expect from the festive version, maybe just a few Christmas decorations, but it didn’t disappoint.
The enchnacements and extras from the original one were really cool so it really didn’t matter that 3 of the 4 of us had been to the original Friends fest.
Let’s take a look…

Food
We didn’t eat at Friendsfest last time so it was good to try some bits.
They had a very festive chocolate orange hot chocolate on offer, it was amazing. It had whipped cream and mini choc orange segments on top!! So good.
We got Joey’s pizza for lunch which was super delicious (& I had the Joey special!!!) Because it was too good to just get one piece.
It was so much fun!
The festive extras were brilliant and it really got us all into the festive spirit.
Feelin’ super christmassy now.
11 days until Christmas 🎄
