Merry Christmas!

Last Saturday I arrived in the Netherlands to be with my boyfriend and visit family and friends during Christmas and New Year. It's been lovely to be in my own home again and spend time preparing for Christmas. Putting up decorations, wrapping presents, opening Christmas cards, and baking cakes for my family.

One of the decorations I've put up is this Christmas wreath I made last year. The stripes are crocheted, just like all the flowers and leaves.

Last week, before I came home, my mum and her partner went to a Christmas market in Germany. She bought this owl with Christmas hat home for me and my boyfriend. Isn't it a cutie?

This is our Christmas tree. We kept it in the garden during the year so we only needed to get it inside and decorate it. No need to go out and buy a new one. I love Christmas trees, but choosing one is not really my favourite activity. All the trees and you pick only one, so which one is the prettiest? And what size do you want? Also the trees look a lot smaller outside, and it's very hard to picture how big it will look inside. I loved not having to think about that this year. 

Lastly, I want to wish you all a merry Christmas! I hope you have some lovely days.
