We have very traditional hearth decorations and two gorgeous looking Father Christmas characters that stand beside the television, but when it comes to the tree decorations there are no rules. Our hanging decorations all have meaning, however naff they are they go on the tree, so long as they were given to us by someone special or we bought them to remind us of a special moment.
One of our favourite traditions is to collect a Christmas decoration from our holidays throughout the year. Each year the collection of our special, meaningful decorations grows. This year we had a Despicable Me decoration from our honeymoon and a wee Scottish Tartan Bagpiper from Edinburgh to add to the tree.
As another tradition we head up to The Gardening Club garden centre at the top of our road each year a couple of weeks before Christmas. We think about what we need to add to our Christmas collection and have a wander around their Christmas wonderland. This year we picked up a gorgeous mantle piece garland and a red berry wreath for the front door.
