I know this might seem somewhat premature with Halloween not having arrived yet but this year I’m going to try and embrace the shops having their Christmas ranges out on show from early October and use it to try and make myself a little more organised! I don’t want to be sat on the floor at midnight on Christmas Eve wrapping presents again and I also want to get a few more things straight before that too. We don’t spend Christmas at home which often means I don’t even put our cards up but this year I am going to make sure our flat is as festive as it possibly can be for a mini Christmas before we go home to our extended families for the proper day!
We’ve often talked about having our own little ‘fake Christmas’ pre big day just for the four of us but it’s only ever been done a little half heartedly before. This is the year I intend to do it properly and make it a new tradition. A full Christmas day, just us but with everything on a miniature scale! We shall have stockings but with only a few presents, one little present under our tree (we always have a lovely tree) and a Christmas lunch with a chicken instead of a turkey! The children will love it!
Of course with this could come more effort and work and I don’t really relish the thought of that especially with Florence and Jonny’s birthday all being over the Christmas period! I intend to buy everything for our little big day at Tesco. I love supermarket shopping (I know, call me sad) and Tesco is just 5 minutes round the corner from me so I’m in there almost every day anyway! It may only be October but with my new found desire for the perfect Christmas and embracing becoming prepared early this is no bad thing as it’s already giving me ideas! They have everything from decorations and gifts to the food so there will be no headless chicken running around for me this year, just cool, calm and collected shopping – well that’s the plan anyway. I have already picked the things I’d like to make Christmas perfect for our little family day!
Yes, I’m really getting into the swing of it now and looking forward to getting my decorations up… I’ll have to reign myself in for a few weeks but I’m all prepared already for our new mini Christmas that I intend to become tradition!
