Since work has picked up considerably for me, I have decided
to start planning Christmas! I know, I
know it’s only September but we will most likely have in the region of 15
people for lunch and since I only have 13 weekends to plan I decided to get
cracking!
I love planning these sorts of things! I have taken out all of my old November and
December magazines to look for ideas and of course Google is my best friend to
find pictures and designs, etc.
I have put a Christmas bauble on the invite, so I am going
to stick to that theme. I found instructions
in a magazine to make this lovely glitter bauble, with string and looks
relatively easy so I am thinking of making a whole lot of those incorporating
them somehow in my decor.
I’m trying to find some ideas for the table decor; I don’t
like anything to big and bulky on the table.
Everyone knows how annoying it is to have a massive centre piece in front of you, well most people anyway! I would like to stick to that this year, not too much but something.
I made these cute fabric Christmas trees last year, I was thinking of doing something along the same lines, maybe another Christmas tree but a different design – any ideas will be welcomed!

G and I have a lovely fibre optic Christmas tree, so we have
never put any decorations on it. We
thought the lights were just so pretty and we don’t have any children yet so we
didn’t really see the need but this year I have decided that I want to decorate
our tree. I might not load it with
decorations as they can be quite expensive so it might be a process of buying /
making a few decorations every year, obviously I will have to incorporate the
bauble into our decorations on the tree!
I would also like to try making a few stocking filler gifts
this year. Every year I say I am going
to make Christmas presents and every year I don’t so I am going to try changing
that this year. Maybe just make one or
two to ease myself into it.
I love Christmas, I love giving and sharing and being with
family and the traditions and I’m really excited to be hosting Christmas at our
home again this year.
Do you start planning Christmas this far in advance?
Till next time,

I'm known for planning our Christmas card in the summer. Truly, it takes time to produce a good card!!! ; )
Can I introduce you to Pinterest?? Google it if you haven't been. You can thank me (or you may hate me) later!! Find me @ amyeatlivelaugh.
I don't usually think about Christmas until Thanksgiving day... :) but I love it! It is the middle of the summer for you when it is Christmas, isn't it? I've always wondered what that would be like... to celebrate Christmas when it is summer instead of winter!
Amy, Pinterest is amazing I've sent my request ~ Thank you!
Ginger, yes we have our Christmas in the summer it's fun we get to swim once our food has settled and we can move after lunch. I have always wanted a 'white Christmas' it must be so beautiful!
