The 'Wreath-Off'...

Published on Tuesday 1st December 2009

When we get back from hols the Christmas party season will be in full swing – perfect timing for me and my tan to make an entrance.

For the first time ever, the accountant and I are having our very own tree (the one bed shoe box was far too small and thanks heavens, a distant memory) and a long overdue drinks party in our new home.

The email he sent out said mulled wine and mince pies.... I swiftly told him there would be no red wine, just white – unless he was prepared to cope with me and my mood if there was so much as a drop of it on my smart new sofas (my mother tells me I need to have my first spillage and then I’ll relax – hmmm, not so sure).

Getting back ten days before Christmas means I have to be extra organised (I wrote our Christmas cards in the dark and in the car on our way to the in-laws on Sunday - multi-tasking at its best) so thanks heavens for our Christmas At Home Special.

My decorations from Aspen & Brown arrived yesterday and they’re as idyllic as they look online.

Call me Scrooge but I can't be doing with decorations up before mid-December so the tree is arriving the weekend we’re back and the wreath a day after.

I’m afraid I’ve gone to town on the wreath front (if our road was having a ‘wreath-off’ then let’s just say I’d be pretty confident); the Real Flower company’s Antique Garden Rose Wreath is simply stunning and the crème de la crème of wreaths.

And why not... after all, first impressions count...
