another very she & him christmas

As much as I would love to get some more Christmas records, I could honestly listen to this one on repeat throughout the whole holiday season and never ever tire of it. One of my favourite things to do is make a hot chocolate and sit in front of my record player listening to A Very She & Him Christmas from start to finish. This album was my favourite last christmas as well, but I didn't have a record player so it wasn't quite the same.

One of my absolute favourite things about Christmas is the decorations. I like them so much that some of them end up staying all through the year. Here you can see a picture I posted a while ago of my mini christmas tree which never really leaves my bookshelf. 

My boyfriend and I saw this tree in a shop window a few days ago with a big 50% off sign hanging off it. We loved it so much that, even though it was completely impractical (we already have a tree in my house so this one sits in the middle of my not-so-spacious bedroom) and very expensive, we just had to have it. It makes me so happy.

Clearly I'm a sucker for cute things, and one of the cutest things I can think of is miniature sweaters. When I found out that they were selling tiny Christmas sweaters on tiny coat hangers, I nearly died. I have eight little santa coats scattered around my room, as well as a beautiful knitted sweater.

Here is the start of an inevitably long list of things that I like this Christmas. I think that Christmas is one of the nicest things in the world, even if I have to experience the best of it vicariously through people in cold climates who get nice things like snow and fireplaces and real Christmas trees. Nonetheless, it's one of those things that's nice no matter where you are.

christmas day

this is where i spent most of my christmas day, with my mum's side of the family. for lunch we had absurd amounts of ham and turkey, prawns and my favourite deviled eggs. for dessert, the world's best flan, trifle, and big red cherries. that day i took the opportunity to wear perhaps my favourite dress, which i found somewhere in australia but was originally sold at h&m. here you can also see my finest new headband, which you'll hear plenty about in upcoming posts. i hope you had a lovely christmas!

merry christmas!

merry christmas! this morning i will leave my dad's family (and my very cute little brother) to open another round of presents with my mum and her family after a long and tiring car trip. in the meantime, here are my two favourite christmas songs for the year, both from the album 'a very she & him christmas' (by she & him) which i happen to like very much. have a great christmas!
