Nothing makes a home feel cosier than when it's decorated for Christmas does it? This year we decided to decorate for Christmas on December 1st and it was honestly so lovely to start December with what was a really lovely festive family day.
The day started with advent calendars and Christmas cards for Ethan and Logan. We played Christmas songs all morning and had my Christmas cinnamon candle burning. And then we pulled all of the decorations down from storage and made a start on making our home feel Christmassy!
I won't lie, previous years of Christmas decorating haven't always gone smoothly. It always takes longer than we think to get the whole house decorated and energy levels start to dip after the past hour. The boys are 4 and 6 this year but in previous years when they've been younger, we've had our fair share of meltdowns amongst the mess.
But actually, this year was EXACTLY how I had always hoped Christmas decorating as a family would be. The boys were so interested in helping us decorate and they did it so nicely. Everyone was in a great, festive mood and we all added our own touches. It was just one of those really nice family days and my heart felt so happy. Christmas is so much more exciting with the boys.
