Our First Christmas Tree

MERRY SECOND OF CHRISTMAS, EVERYBODY! 

Yes, the month of December has temporarily been re-named 'Christmas', because for us, Christmas is a month-long festivity. Yesterday was the First of Christmas, and it is possibly the third most Christmassy day next to Christmas Eve and actually Christmas Day itself (obviously). As you can tell, we are very much Christmas people. As December 1st was getting close, we were very excited to purchase our first Christmas tree, deck the halls and unleash the Christmas all over my apartment. Luckily, my housemate (that is not Claire) is also a fan of Christmas, so this is one very merry household indeed. 

So here is our Christmas tree! We decided to go with a silver theme with red and gold accents, and it is safe to say that we are pretty happy with it.

Stay tuned for more Christmas-themed posts throughout the month of December.   

Our tree is the 6ft Jardine Christmas Tree from K-mart ($22)

A few years ago, our mum bought a set of baubles especially for our family cat, Julian, to be represented. When each of us moved out, we all took one with us. 

We also managed to grab all of the Christmas tree decorations we made throughout our childhood (and teen years). I love the sequined one that I made, which you can see hiding in the back.

We are obsessed with this white and gold bauble from kiki. K. ($9.95)

Of course we also needed to include our favourite Disney Princess! This plastic bauble was only $2 at Coles.

Feel free to share with us what your Christmas trees look like! Graceful and Claire is now on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook. Check out the links on the right hand side of our blog and give us a follow to keep up to date on our lives.
