Slowly, but surely, it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas in our little house. Can you believe Christmas is so close? If it weren't for the Christmas decorations up around our house, I wouldn't believe it. It feels like it should be August or something - where did the year go?!
This will be my first Christmas in our house and I'm super excited! We have plans to have Mr LG's brother over for breakfast and we will feast on a delicious vegetarian breakfast ... that I have yet to get recipe ideas for. I really should get onto that soon!
The two nativity scene photos were taken for my sister's church Christmas window. I can't wait to see them in the window soon!
Mr LG and I have decided not to give each other Christmas presents this year because we're going to Melbourne for our one year wedding anniversary in January (see what I mean - where did the year go?!). Instead we have been using our advent calendar to surprise each other with fun little gifts every second day. I can't wait to share with you all the fun things Mr LG has given me!
Two more crafty things I have made lately are a shabby chic star wreath from fabric scraps, ribbon and buttons; and, a wreath made out of lollies! Mmm!
Pretty cool, hey? So far I have resisted temptation and haven't eaten any of the lollies on the wreath! I'm not sure how long my resolve will last though.
The last three photos were taken at my parents house. My Mum has the most amazing Christmas tree. It's a piece of art! I'll share photos of it soon! I love the white LED lights on her tree and hope to get some for our tree next year.
Has Christmas made an appearance in your house yet?
i love your decorations. those photos will look fab in the church window. I have some of those willow tree figures :) i was given the Angel of Friendship by a friend one Christmas, and The Angel of Caring was given to me when I left my job with a charity to join the ice cream world.
ReplyDeleteI hope you get your package from me before Christmas, but i may have missed the last posting...oh well something to look forward to :)xx
Loving your Christmas decorations! Those wreathes are awesome, and your tree is gorgeous! I like your idea of doing Advent gifts - presents every day! :D
ReplyDeleteGreat decorations! That wreath is the coolest, I want to make some creative wreaths but I'm desperately running out of time!
ReplyDeletei looove all your photos, very christmasy! have a great w/e lovely!
ReplyDeleteEeee, oh goodness, I LOVE Christmas time! That nativity set is lovely! I've been on the lookout for a set and sadly can't find one! The connection between Jesus and Christmas is becoming more and more hush-hush every year and it makes me sad. :-( Sooooo much Santa but hardly any baby Jesus anywhere. I'm determined. I found ONE set yesterday, but it was ugly and I couldn't bring myself to do it. Oh well, the hunt continues!
ReplyDeleteYour pics are lovely! Your tree is so gorgeous, especially at night when it's glowing!!! <3 it!
Merry Christmas!!!!
Your decorations are gorgeous. The tree is utterly beautiful. I love the shabby star wreath and the lolly wreath turned out so well.
ReplyDeleteI'm so impressed with everything you have done. I love that you love Christmas just as much as me :) x
I love your house and all it's Christmas cheer! I so want to go visit you and wish I could click my red shiny shoes together to transport myself there!
ReplyDeleteYour Christmas tree is so pretty and I especially love your lolly wreath!
Christmas is wonderful and oh so magical! I'm really sad that it's going to be over in just 3 days :( But I refuse to let it go, my Christmas tree and Christmas decorations will stay up until February just like last year :D
