Blogmas Day 21 | My Bedroom Decorations

On the days leading up to Christmas I'm getting more and more busy, which is making posting everyday for blogmas a challenge. Yesterday, I was feeling really under the weather and after having a few stressful days, it had really taken it's toll on my health. I was having a bad flare up and was in pain for most of the day, and with Sunday being a tiring day anyway because my family all come over for Sunday dinner, I decided to catch up on reading blog posts and in the evening, to relax and watching TV. Today's blogmas post is going to be about the Christmas decorations that I've put up in my bedroom this year to make it feel more festive and keep me in a Christmassy mood. I haven't got many up but I wanted to share some photographs with you anyhow :) I hope you all enjoy!


How pretty is this snowflake garland? It reminds me of Disney's Frozen and it perfectly matches the blue and cream wallpaper on one of the walls of my bedroom. I got it from The Works. 



 I picked up these two Christmassy wall decorations from a local pound store and I love how bright and colourful they are. It's also awesome that they have 3D details and lots of glitter!



I purchased this festive bunting today when I was out shopping and it's so adorable! I would have got a photograph of the whole bunting but my room was so messy haha each little triangle has a different character on; my favourite is the snowman I wish it would snow this year!







After seeing an alpacasso Christmas tree the other day, I really wanted to put this little alpacasso in my mini tree to add a little kawaii touch. My other decorations include a pack of multi-coloured 'Nordic' style baubles from B&M Bargains, some lovely wooden reindeers from The Works, mini multi-coloured tree lights that my mum got me from a pound shop and a few of the old decorations that we've had for years.

 
 I love this gingerbread man! I bought him last year to hang up in my room at uni and I thought he'd look fantastic on top of my tree! He's so adorable! 


Here is a full view of my mini tree looking very messy! Who else has a mini tree? 

Thankyou for reading! Tomorrow, I'll be doing some festive baking!

Blogmas Day 19 | Christmas Decorations

Here comes the obligatory Christmas decorations post :) This year the colour theme of our tree is red and gold, which is my favourite! For the last few years, we've had blue and silver decorations or had a tree that would be perfect for a Barbie house! I really love red and gold decorations because they look lovely together and traditional, and go well with a green tree which is another thing we haven't had for a while as we've had a white Christmas tree. Some of the red and gold decorations we have are special to me as we have had them since I was a child so I'm glad that we've been able to use them this time. 

I'm really happy that I've finally been able to write this post! We've had so many setbacks when it came to putting up the tree. We ordered a tree which arrived damaged with some of the branches completely bare and then the section where the top half of the tree is connected to the bottom half was dented so that it wouldn't fit. After sending it back, we then couldn't find our tree lights anywhere! Luckily we got a lovely tree from Asda with lights already attached which is convenient. It looks really nice, too. Today's post is going to be pic heavy; I hope reading it gets you all in a Christmassy mood. Not long to go now 'til Santa pays us a visit! :) 




  This decoration has always been my favourite!



I bought this beautiful wooden decoration for my mum when I went on a trip in my first year of university to the Natural History Museum. I think it's gorgeous!



This decoration is one of the oldest on our tree; my mum bought it around 25 years ago! I'm not religious, but I think the Nativity story is lovely and this decoration is beautiful and delicate. It has a hole in the base that you put one of the Christmas tree light bulbs into and it elluminates the whole decoration.




My wonderful penpal sent me these gorgeous glittery owl decorations

 




We've had this lovely Father Christmas & Reindeers garland for as long as I can remember. It's adorable, especially with all the little teddies. We put it up over the fireplace and it's so eyecatching!

Finally, below is a photograph of our awesome Christmas tree.


I hope you all enjoyed reading.


What is your favourite decoration?
