His note said this: “Merry Christmas, see you next year Sienna & Bella. On Christmas Eve he left a note to my girls saying goodbye. Every morning or more realistic to say, most of the mornings, he was waiting for my girls to be discovered. My girls have loved the whole idea of waking up every morning and looking for him. He has been with us all December and he has been amazing. We also hung our Christmas wreath outside our door.Īlso as you already know from a previous post, we had a new visitor with us until Christmas, Felix our scout Elf. We also got 2 little angels with my girls’ names which was a gift from my parents in law from last year and we were so excited to hang again. Look how gorgeous the tree looks, I am really pleased with it. We loved decorating the tree with the girls. They fell asleep after 5 minutes of being in the car! It’s always nice seeing your kids peacefully sleeping after a long fun day! On our way back to the house both girls were completely dead. We did this for a little bit as my girls love running around although my little one, Sienna eventually got too tired and became fed up (as you can see from the above photo).
#The day before christmas plus
The food is great, the place is family friendly which is always a plus when you have crazy kids like me, LOL! Their outdoor area is great as they have blankets and outdoor heating so you don’t feel cold if you fancy being outside. We had a great time at the Woodmans, its a really nice pub. You could also order online and then collect it from the nearest store so any of these options are great! I guess now that I have tried it and know how good the trees are and also I know what tree I like, it could be even easier to order online. What a fantastic tree!! We will definitely be getting this type of tree next year!! They also have a delivery service which I thought was fantastic. After a few weeks of having the tree I can say that IT WORKED!! There were no needles dropping at all!! I couldn’t believe it. I have already heard of this type of tree before so I was very keen to try it out. Just to pass by the tree meant that we had a lot of needles on the floor and this was something that I didn’t like about having a real tree. One of the things that we were not happy with at all last year was having to clean the dropped needles every morning. I wasn’t sure if this was going to be true or not but we decided to give it a go. This is something that really caught my eye and thought was super interesting. The company that were selling the trees is Pines and Needles. We chose The Nordman Fir. It was 4ft and the most interested featured was being a Non-Drop tree. When we arrived to the Woodman we found there was a popup real Christmas tree shop in the pub garden. What a coincidence, we couldn’t believe our luck! How convenient to go for a nice family afternoon gathering and also be able to buy our Christmas tree too!! Yaay!! We wanted to get our tree on the first weekend of December, although we had a family gathering at the Woodman in Highgate on the Saturday so we were thinking to buy one the next day on Sunday. I love the look and smell of a real Christmas Tree. We wanted to make it a special tradition from now on to get a real tree every year. This year we really wanted to do the same. Last year we bought our first real Christmas tree and we loved the experience. A good start is getting a tree and decorating it.

It’s amazing, all the things that you have to get done for Christmas, the list is endless. The past couple of weeks before Christmas have been super busy and at the same time very exciting.
