The Gallery 126 – It’s Beginning to look a lot like Christmas.

12th December 2012 By Susan Mann Leave a Comment

This week’s Gallery Prompt at from the lovely Tara over at Sticky Fingers is It’s Beginning to look a lot like Christmas.

We tend to put our Christmas tree up early as we like to have a build up to Christmas since the boys don’t get as big a build up on Christmas eve with Lucas’ birthday being on Christmas eve.

We have our tree up the first weekend in December. It is a fake tree, but we did buy a new one this year.

Christmas Tree

The tree consists of a little tinsel, blue and white lights, lots of baubles and ornaments we have collected over the years and a Santa at the top. The boys help me decorate it and it’s very much a fun family day. 

Babys first bauble
The boys like to make sure their first Christmas baubles have pride and place on the tree right at the front. And Lucas boasts his is the biggest one ever. They are very proud of these. 
The nativity scene is up, along with all the Christmas teddies and the boys made paper chains for their room.
Since I couldn’t have any mulled wine, which is obviously a necessity when putting the tree up, I had some mulled vimto and an iced mince pie.
We also wrote our letters to Santa and made sure they were posted. Tyler making sure his was folded just right. 
This is part of our Christmas tradition and I love this bit. I love putting the tree up, I love the looks on the boys faces and I love helping them write their letters to Santa.
