It’s that most wonderful time of the year again…
Tradition dictates that you shouldn’t bring your Christmas tree home and decorate it until Christmas Eve itself. But we’ve always believed in making your own traditions. Particularly this year.
Whether you’re bringing your tree home today or have had it up since Halloween, however, there’s something really magical about that moment when everything ‘just stops’ for Christmas.
As you pull your tree into the house and shut the front door on the cold; or finally close the laptop and pour yourself a sherry; or trudge in from the garden, plonk the bags of sprout stalks and parsnips down on the table, take off your coat and put Carols from Kings on the radio, take a slow breath or two and whisper to yourself: “it’s nearly here!”
Merry Christmas from us all at The Simple Things.
