Decorating The Tree
Putting up the tree in the fox household is the biggest time for family traditions! We have the day booked in, weeks in advance to ensure everyone can be present. I've not lived at home for 5 years and still head home every time to help.
It tumbles out of the attic, along with box after box of decorations. We've had the same fake tree for as long as I can remember. The box is so tatty, its tied around the tree with string. We'd get a new one, but we're a sentimental lot!
We don't have a theme for our tree, but we like to mix up old and new, with some classic Christmas decorations and some of our own. We love our old decorations the best. Most are hand me downs or have been given to us. These old glass ones are from my Grandma from the 50s and they're super fragile so we keep them in egg boxes to protect them. There are have been a few smashes and tears over the years! A few years ago, I found these replica baubles in Paperchase and they go on every year.

Every year we purchase a new decoration, and this year was no exception. How could we resist his little foxy charms?!
You can find him, and lots of other treasures over at Belle and Blue.
Last year, we stumbled upon these in Asda of all places. They're wired at the bottom so you can pop them straight on a branch. In case it wasn't blinding obvious, we are big fans of the British countryside so to us, they're perfect.
Following on with toadstools are these birds. They were a present from an old friend and we always find them a home on our tree.

This year we were lucky enough to recive a foxy decoration from the beautiful Kitty Lou! New tradation staring from today! Thank you!
Other things we like to include are bells, candy canes, wire hearts, handmade decorations we made when we were little and kitsch things that we've picked up on our travels. Elvis guitar anyone?!
So there's a quick glimpse at what we put on our tree! What decorations do you use and love every year?
