Yesterday, I went with my mum to get our Christmas tree. It was so magical because it had been snowing, so all the trees were dusted with snow. We found two pretty good trees straight away (I'm super good at finding nice trees) and decided to go for the massive bushy one! I think it might be the best tree we've ever had! Then it started snowing again! It was so exciting and magical and festive :) really made me feel happy inside.
After that we went into Totnes for a bit of shopping and lunch and stuff. I got these really cute slipper sock things! I LOVE them!
Then it was time to get the tree out and decorate it. While I was doing this I looked out of the window to see that it was snowing again!
I'm not a big fan of tinsel or baubles, and I am a big fan of tradition, so this is our tree. It has some decorations that we've had as long as I can remember. I might take some close up photos of them sometime. (It looks a LOT better without flash!)

I'm a pretty bummed out this morning because I was meant to be travelling up to London to see someone I miss a lot. I won't go into it, but it's part of the whole "big decision" thing I've vaguely mentioned before. But it snowed again so the world is all pretty (I'm enjoying listening to it crunch as people walk past my house, and the strange noises coming from my roof as it melts and cracks), and I'm partying with some of my favourite people tonight, so I'm going to be just fine, thank you very much.
Here's a Christmas song, because everybody loves a bit of Wham! (I wasn't allowed to embed the official video, but hey, now you have the lyrics so you can sing along!)
I love everything about this post. I feel so christmassy just looking at your photos :)

Loved this post, so Christmassy: your tree looks so lovely! We also hate tinsel and use decorations that I remember having around from the age of about 4 (: Hope you have a lovely Christmas, and that your 'big decision' all works out in the end ♥ xxxx

ReplyDeleteohhhh lovely pictures, looks like you had a great time tree picking! Love the photograph of the little robin, be he's cold in this weather!
ReplyDeleteThose slipper socks look mighty warm too x
Sounds like you had a blast finding and decorating the tree! I love ornaments that aren't flashy but have a special meaning behind them. Those are the ones that make the tree really unique.
ReplyDeleteYour outfit is so cute lady. I cannot get over your headscarf!
Take care
xx

ReplyDeleteGreat blog! This post is amazing.

I love going to get the tree, actually prefer that to decorating it as my family don't let me realise my "perfect christmas" vision.

I miss going to the tree farm to pick my tree, homebase stole my christmas magic :( You're so lucky to get such a lovely tree so close to christmas! Love the outfit too, those socks look super cosy!
ReplyDeleteAh Marldon Christmas Tree farm, We've got our christmas tree from there every year since I can remember, when I was really little my parents said we could get a tree from somewhere else instead and I was really upset because I thought they were the only real trees (In my head, literally the xmas tree farm was warm and happy whilst anywhere else would have a cockney man in a brown jacket "flogging" trees, and in my mind, xmas trees don't deserve to be "flogged") I was an imaginative kid... Long story short, we couldn't find a better tree, so we went there anyway!
ReplyDeleteThis year, I've been xmas tree shopping THREE times! and you know? it never gets boring! :D
i've never had a real tree, wish i did after looking at yours ha. you have a lovely style, as well :)

I love your Christmas tree! I've never had a real one before and I feel like I'm really missing out! Also, I love this song- well, really, just Christmas music in general :)
ReplyDeletelove your christmas tree, i totally agree with the whole tradition thing rather than pilling aload of tinsel on it, each year we buy a new tree decoration and add it on :) xx
ReplyDeleteThese photos are so lovely! You look gorgeous in the hair scarf too :)
ReplyDeleteJealous of your real tree :( my parents didn't want the hassle this year :( x
You're so adorable x hivennn.
