An Illuminating Christmas (and a giveaway!)

Christmas is nearly upon us and I can’t wait for my husband to make his annual pilgrimage to our attic to bring down our Christmas decorations, trees and lights.

As we have several kids birthday’s in December my husband yields to my pressure at the beginning of December to bring out the decorations – I like to take some birthday photos in front of the Christmas Tree. In his idea world, Christmas  Trees should be put up on Christmas Eve, and down again on Boxing Day.

So, as I wait impatiently patiently, here are a few ways I have decorated with lights and candles in past Christmases.

This year I will have a new addition to my Christmas decor:

I love all lights (that are white) in whatever form so was really pleased when Lighting Styles sent me this 7 arm Christmas illuminated candlestick to review and have kindly offered to  send one to one of their best selling festive candelabras to adorn the home of one of my readers too.

This time the giveaway is open to UK AND Europe only, as it will be fitted with a standard UK plug. If you win and live in Europe, you will need to change the plug.  Sorry everyone else, but apparently with the different voltages, regulations etc, you can’t enter THIS time.

It is well made, of sturdy construction, and already looks at home in my home! Have yet to decide if it will stay here in the hall, or will I place it on a window-sill to it can be visible from outside,  I was impressed with the quality, and look forward to picking one of my lovely blog readers to receive one of their own, hopefully in time for Christmas.

Closing date for comments is Sunday 6th December, winner will be chosen at random from the eligible commentors.

So, have a look at lighting styles on-line store, and, in your comment below tell me which item from the store catches your eye and why.  Please also add “I live in UK/Europe” to enable me to randomly select a winner from eligible commentors.

So how do you use lights and candles to decorate your home? I hope you will all share, wherever in the world you live!

I am also participating in The Inspired Room’s Holiday Friday Linky too this week – love Christmas? You will love this carnival.
