FESTIVE TREATS FOR THE FAMILY!

I hope my Christmas post last week and the week before were useful to you during your preparations. If you're anything like me [and other festive early birds] all the presents have been bought and wrapped, the decorations are in full effect, the tree is rocking its best lights, tinsel and angel [or, whatever your preference might be] and the food menu has already been decided!!

All that's left is to make sure you have a few additional essentials that will add to the joy and beauty of the day. They will also impress your loved ones too, I'm sure...

NIBBLES

Whilst waiting for the feast to be served, hungry tummy's may want a little something to keep them from growling, lol.. Bitesized or finger-food is always a good shout.

TABLE DECOR
My aunt Rita has such a good eye when it comes to dressing her dining table per seasonal event and I absolutely love it. I think it's so nice to do this and, with it, you can also include things to entertain.

SECRET SANTA STOCKING
This isn't something my family do, but, it would be awesome to have a huge stocking by the front door filled with mini surprise gifts that your heart beats can take with them when they leave. I sometimes do this for myself - with a reusable stocking - that I fill with bits and bobs a few months before Christmas eve so that I forget what's inside. Anything from mini skincare treats to Lush goodies!

GAMES
My family have the best time with old school games such as Guess Who and Trivia as well as some of the newer ones available to buy from pretty much all good retail stores. The games/activities provide extra fun, laughter and add to the positive, cosy vibes of the day. 

If you don't celebrate Christmas, which is absolutely fine, I hope whatever you do over the festive days brings you lots of joy and you carry that vibe with you into the new year. God bless x
