As we reach our 4th day of opening ye olde community advent calendar, we wanted to see your Christmas deccys.  

Are you particularly proud of your tree?  Is your tinsel a sight to behold?  Or, do you have some unusual decorations you'd like us to see?  Then here's the thread for you.


Some pictures of my decorations

In this spirit I whizzed around this morning to take some photos of my tree and baubles.  I don't do colour co-ordinated or classy themes!  Instead, me and the other half basically buy them to remember places we have visited or anything that suits our random personalities.  Here are a few we have to give you an idea:

This is a Beatles decoration we got from the Beatles shop, just up the street from the Cavern Club in Liverpool.

This is a Charlotte Bronte decoration from the gift shop just next to the Bronte parsonage in Haworth.

And lastly, the snowman on a sledge.  The Snowman was my favourite Christmas film as a child.  Just don't ask me to relive the bit where he melts... sob.

If my decorations don't inspire you, why not check out @Grinchy 's wonderful Christmas decorations thread, which includes pictures of his gorgeously grotto-y front room  <3

Join in!

Why not show off your Christmassy bits below so we can ooooh and aaaaah at them! 
Also, tell us what your favourite decoration is - something your children made or something from your own childhood?

Let us know :)
