Christmas Decorations

Rattan Wreath available from NotcuttsLast weekend was spent decorating the house, which was fantastic. The whole family got together, bringing down the decorations from the loft and all pulling our weight to make sure the house looked festive.  Over the past week my son has been getting extremely excited, running around the house, singing all types of Christmas songs. So when I told him we were going to decorate the tree you can imagine his reaction.

Mrs McGregor and I decided to go down the more traditional route with our Christmas decorations. So when we took the boxes down from the loft, we began to sift through them, eventually finding rich reds and greens that will really give the house a festive feel.

Holly cuttings from the garden will also be taken so we can dress doors, mirrors and picture frames.

Traditionally when the MrGregors decorate the tree we gorge ourselves on tin of Roses whilst having Christmas carols played in the background. However, this year I decided to make my own finger food, by using some of my harvested vegetables. Using potatoes, parsnips, beetroot and carrots I made my very own crisps, and they went down a storm. Mrs McGregor also made her famous homemade coco as well. I’m sure you can imagine us all now, taking a break from decorating the tree to sit back with one hand holding a hot chocolate and the other firmly placed in the bowl of crisps.

Merry Christmas everyone,

Mr McGregor
