26 Days...

6 hours...is all thats left til Christmas day arrives! If like me your Christmas spirit has dampened as you've gotten older, then you'll know Christmas spirit often needs working on. I love Christmas, I mostly, since I've gotten past the Santa Claus phase enjoy preparing for Christmas, buying presents, listening to Christmas music, etc etc.

Normally a good Christmas film (ie Elf) gets me in the mood pretty sharpish, or a cold afternoon lazing about listening to Christmas music does the trick too.

However nothing signals Christmas arriving in our house til our Advent Tree comes down from the loft. This tree has probably been in our possession for a good 5 years if not slightly longer, it was bought from QVC.

Its a pot tree, with little hooks coming out of the branches, you can turn it round and it plays music.

Next is this lovely little cupboard with 24 little doors.

 Behind each door lies a little trinket which fastens onto the tree each day in the lead up to Christmas.

This is probably my most favourite Christmas decoration that we own, my brother, my mum and myself all still fight over who gets to open the door and put the decoration on the tree. Not long now til it takes pride of place in the living room!
