Welcome to my 2019 tour of our Christmas home! Every year our home gets more and more Christmas-y (if that is even possible!) with the addition of new and exciting decorations. Turning my home into our very own Christmas grotto every year earned me the nickname Mama Christmas, and I can’t wait to share this year’s decorating shenanigans.

It is not quite as much as I would usually do (I have some boxes of decorations I haven’t even touched yet!) but I haven’t been well enough to finish up, sadly. I do, however, think it is still pretty Christmas-y!

What’s new?

When I was younger I collected Sylvanian Families, and now Pickle loves them too! When I saw this Christmas Gingerbread Playhouse* I had to add it to our home, not just as a playset but as a decoration! You can buy it on Amazon†.
Toy? or awesome decoration? I think the Playmobil Christmas bakery* is a bit of both. As much as the girls love it and play with it, it's definitely mine! It's the perfect centre piece to our table (and, as always, you can pick it up on Amazon†!)

One of my favourite new decorations has to be the countdown to Christmas Disney Mickey and Minnie mouse cushion from Primark!

I also have new cushions from The Range, awesome Santa and reindeer rubber ducks from Matalan and a few new decorations (including new photo frames, colour changing Christmas trees and hanging snowflake spirals) for around the house too!

We also let the girls have their own mini tree to decorate! These may not be the best pictures in the world because no amount of editing can fix how dark it was; but look at Pickle's face! So happy.

I absolutely love decorating for Christmas, especially now the girls are old enough to appreciate it all and help out as well as enjoy it. It really brings the Christmas magic to our home, and I hope you enjoy scrolling through it all just as much as I love decorating it all!

 

Wishing you a very Happy Christmas from my family and me this year!
