Macabre elf ornament #xmasdecorations

🎶 It's beginning to look a LOT like #Xmas in our neighbourhood! 🎶 #xmasdecorations #rudolph

Possibly the only time I would put #worldcupfinal and #xmasdecorations in the same sentence 😊⚽️

And for anyone wondering how all the Christmas tree decorations I have been tooting about look together here they are! #xmasdecorations #Christmastree #christmastreedecorations #christmastree2022

The oldest tree decorations are these gold glass baubles in two different sizes which I brought in Paperchase in London in 2002 for my first flat in south London when I had the first fir tree of my own. Sadly about 4 have been broken over the years which may mean I get to buy some new baubles next year!! #xmasdecorations #Christmastree #christmastreedecorations

The fuzzy skiing polar bear is new for this year and was sent in the post by my mother and father. #xmasdecorations #Christmastree #christmastreedecorations

A new decoration this year is a hand painted bauble featuring a jaunty fox in the moonlit snow. It was in tribute to the troublesome local vulpes vulpes who cause chaos in the local gardens and streets. #xmasdecorations #Christmastree #christmastreedecorations

A set of new tree decorations this year continues the bird theme. These were from the local supermarket. #xmasdecorations #Christmastree #christmastreedecorations

Birds are a bit of a favourite choice for decorations - this chirpy Robin was brought locally. #xmasdecorations #Christmastree #christmastreedecorations

In 2015 I added these three decorations - the first felted decorations which set a trend!! #xmasdecorations #Christmastree #christmastreedecorations

A wise owl decoration added in 2019. We had more than one new tree decoration that year!! #xmasdecorations #Christmastree #christmastreedecorations

The Christmas tree decorations added in 2020 the year that Boris cancelled Christmas because of Covid and I didn’t get to Scotland as it was shut off from England. #xmasdecorations #Christmastree #christmastreedecorations

Added in 2018 the year my mum had a hip operation so she couldn’t travel far so we rented a cottage locally to her and had the holidays there on the basis a change is as good as a rest!! #xmasdecorations #Christmastree #christmastreedecorations

These scented decorations were brought the first year I was in this 1847 house. They were a 2015 addition and smell lovely. I may have to make some replacements next year as it would be good to have some fresh ones as they add the scent of cinnamon, orange and cloves to the smell of pine. #xmasdecorations #Christmastree #christmastreedecorations

Mr and Mrs Mouse were 2015 I think, a present from my aunt. She sewed the sequins on Mrs M’s dress to add some sparkle. #xmasdecorations #Christmastree #christmastreedecorations

Another special decoration purchased in 2019 was this lovely heart with mistletoe decoration. #xmasdecorations #Christmastree #christmastreedecorations

The Snow White hare was purchased in 2019 when my parents were at my home for Xmas. We went to buy the real fir tree and the shop there had this lovely decoration. So he came home. #xmasdecorations #Christmastree

Do other people have #Christmas 🌲tree decorations which are rich in personal and family history? Here are some of mine. I have a tradition that every year I buy one new decoration - sometimes it is more, some are gifts. Meet Space #Mouse. He was purchased last year and he is so special and expressive ❤️ #xmasdecorations #christmastree #mouse #spacemouse

I’ve put the Xmas lights up outside the house and am now waiting patiently for it to get dark enough so I can switch them on. This is about exciting as it gets! 😀🌲#xmasdecorations #xmas

Ennnn klaar!
