Christmas Decoration Haul
Welcome back for Blogmas day 5 on Writerly Bookish Stuff. Today, I will show you my Christmas decoration haul.
We have changed our colour scheme this year. We have always had an ‘anything goes’ tree as my daughter picks a new decoration to hang every year, and they’re always big, bright, and sometimes, a little gaudy. My husband is a perfectionist, and our asymetrical, non-thematic design has always bothered him. He called it our monstrosi-tree. This year, he is much happier.
Why? Because this year, our daughter wants her own tree in her room with her chosen decorations. So, we have decided to take advantage of the situation and go for a gold, white, and silver theme in the lounge. Of course, we have kept our sentimental decorations, but it’s nice to finally have a theme, even if that means replacing everything.
So, without further ado…

We not only had to replace the tree decorations with white, gold, and silver, we also had to replace the ornamental decorations that we place around our lounge. I only found one ornamental item I really liked and that was the wooden quote sign. I am still on the look out for more.
For the first year ever we have bought a tree skirt. It’s still in the wrapper, but it matches are theme with neutral, muted colours.
Here are the links for where we bought our new decorations. We are just your average family with young kids, so everything on our tree is from the high street and very affordable.
Note: If you are changing your scheme, please do not bin your old decorations. There are plenty of charities and schemes that will take them. Research how you can donate Christmas decorations in your area.
I donated mine to the local nursery school my friend works at. They lost all their decorations to water damage.
