1st of advent and decorations

This arvo we decided to put all the Christmas decorations up and get in the mood. We started with the Christmas cards. 30 of them. Oh yes, all done and can be sent off this week.  Phew! One less thing to do.... ! 

Then to the fun part; decorations.... 

I created a new type of candle holder for the 4 advents in December. I'm very happy with it to be honest. Really cute in the end on my green plate with 4 angels...  Today is first of advent so the first candle is lit!! Cosy evening! 

Since we live in the heat I decided ( last year) to get a tree in drift wood.  (A real tree would possibly last a week!) So we decorated the tree today and it is in front of the fire. Nice! 

The house is now full of little decorations here and there.  Love it!
