We have our famous gingerbread recipe that we bake every year, there’s always plenty of Christmas stories which are read as a family cuddled up on the couch and decorating the tree is done together – it’s become a highly anticipated and much loved event in our home.
Decorating the tree in M&S Crocodile Onesie
On Christmas Eve, our boys take great pride in preparing a plate for Father Christmas and his reindeer – there’s always a cookie, some carrots and a glass of milk, or depending on how Father Christmas is feeling…something a little bit stronger. For us it is also really important to consider people who are less fortunate, so you’ll always find a gift under our tree for people in need.

When it comes to dressing our home at Christmas time we have long turned to Marks & Spencer for traditional and high quality decorations. The boys and I love to choose new ornaments for the tree and this year we have added some classics that are sure to stay in our family for years to come including a collection of baubles – watch the video to spot a red nutcracker, gold pineapple, pink flying unicorn resin dog and traditional Santa on our tree.
Hanging the adorable Resin Dog Bauble
We also hung 12 stunning Red Glass Hollow Baubles (simply spectacular!) and 18 Clear Silver Baubles for a classic aesthetic and added a Snowflake Tree Topper. I couldn’t checkout without the adorable Mini Embroidered Pug Cushion (a must for all dog lovers) and some Extra Large Joyeux Noel Santa Bag’s for fuss free and stylish gift wrapping.
Christmas for me will always be about the tiny details and treasured traditions that combine to create memories to last a lifetime. From my family to yours, wishing you a very merry little Christmas, because it’s the little things that put the magic in Christmas.

Are the earrings M&S? I looked on their site and couldn’t find them.
Hello Jane – no they are by a local maker DEUX – shop online here https://deux-earrings.myshopify.com/ x
Ah thanks so much Lucy. I’ve also seen Jen from Styling Curvy blog rocking some DEUX earrings lately too. Great to see you all supporting South Aussie small businesses. I’m off to purchase a few pair, the look lovely on you. Thanks again.
Yes, Jen looks great in them. Enjoy, they are the best earrings. So fun xx
