Christmas decor – our living room (and a few of my Christmas nativity scenes)

09/12/201426/02/2015

Here is some of the Christmas decor in our living room this year. As you can see I have quite a few Christmas nativity scenes.

The tree is primarily decorated in gold and neutrals.

On the mantle piece I have NOEL in gold letters, a small music box which plays silent night (we bought in in Paris on our 20th wedding anniversary), a selection of candles and a large vase of golden Christmas baubles.

My favourite nativity scene is on the right of the hearth

Coming up to Christmas I will be taking more photos of our Christmas decor – do you have a favourite ornament or decoration? Please share!

I am linking up to Tuesdays At Our Home today

Christmas Traditions shared (or are they Rules?)

At www.JohnLewis.com they are asking parents to share their Christmas “Rules for a Perfect Family Christmas” and plan to compile a huge list of them early in December. This post is my contribution. Being a bit contrary, I prefer to call them traditions……. Rules are just asking to be disobeyed, but traditions sounds much more…….something?!!!…

2 December – Christmas window shopping

In today’s post I want to share some Christmas window shopping …… I love shop windows at Christmas, particularly the large department stores.
