At home I haven't yet started - it usually takes 3 - 4 days to get it all done, we like Christmas! However, for the avoidance of doubt, there shall be no giant inflateables, humongous Santas on the roof, and no 'lights - lookers' drive to our place to gawp! No, in fact you would struggle to find any tinsel, or horreur - lametta. However I am not ruling it out as it could be fab in an ironic kind of way one year, or on a 'kids tree' that can be as kitsh as can be!
When I had my daughter, I started to think of the traditions we did as a family at Christmas, and the kind of traditions that I wanted to start, for my little family. One of my favourites has to be 'The Christmas Fairy'
Every year, on Christmas Eve, just before bath time, the door bell mysteriously rings - everyone rushes to look who is there but there is only a big box with a huge ribbon on top. The Christmas Fairy usually delivers a new pair of pyjamas for everyone, a Christmas story, a movie and a few little treats. Very exciting, and everyone has super new PJ's for the photos on Christmas morning :)
Here are my favourite PJ's for the family this year
