Thanks to a poll on my Twitter back in November, my wonderful
followers decided that I should publish a blog post and film a vlog every day
for the entirety of December!
So welcome to December 18th…
Once again, it took me so long to
come up with content for this post; especially since I have a ton of pictures
for it because that made me think that I needed to write something quite
lengthy… but it was when I was looking through the pictures that I came up with
the inspiration for this post… ‘A Quick Guide to Christmas Décor!’ You see, I’ve
been to Wallington Hall
before so going there this time was literally just about seeing how they
decorate the National Trust
site for Christmas time!
I find that Christmas décor can be
very controversial and even competitive! Some stores will sell a few different
ranges/styles of decorations whilst others retail one main design; all
competing against one another for the value of their products through quality
and price. But it isn’t just about retailers competing; I don’t about anywhere
else but - it seems that in my estate – each house wants to have the most
garden lights or the biggest ‘Santa Stop Here!’ signs and the bushiest
Christmas trees peeking through their curtains!
I grew up having a massive
Christmas tree with my Mum and each year we’d buy a new, special decoration for
it. In my later teenage years, I got my own tree for my bedroom; a little neon
pink one with built-in lights from W H Smith
and mini decorations from Paperchase.
I think that even though it was an incredibly youthful one, I still felt grown-up
having my own Christmas tree!
