Bah Humbug

I am not the most Christmasy person. I hate Christmas lights (makes my eyes twitch to see people have their displays up already o.O) I HATE all the snow at Christmas and well..pretty much everything else about Christmas…except the ham..Mmmm Christmas ham. Anyway…came across some Christmasy stuff just perfect for me.

Lolmart Bah humbug shirt, a wonderful alternative to the usual bright ugly red and green Christmas shirts with bloody snow on them! Will take great pleasure wearing this at Christmas (shame it is white tho, I may well have to throw it out afterwards)

Then we have these Christmas balls from Selfridges that will go perfectly on my cupcake tree.

Cat proof Christmas tree

Those with cats will know the drama that surrounds Christmas and cats. Eating the tree, eating the tinsel…then little puddles of glitter vomit. And that’s if you can even get the damn thing to stay up, or the decorations to stay on.

Sick of all of it, I had planned not to do the tree this year. Till I came across the idea of a twig tree. After searching everywhere for a decent one at the shop, I thought bugger it I can make my own.

It was harder than I thought, trying to find a branch that was a decent shape. After traipsing round the bush with no luck I ended up stealing one from the neighbours dead tree *shh*

Gave it a bit of a paint, stuck it in a pot with some pebbles and there you have it.

I LOVE it, best xmas tree we’ve ever had. Of course, it is covered in cupcakes I think I love even more that there are hardly any branches so the kids can’t go jamming it full of ugly crap. And there is no hassle with storage. Toss it out and get a new one next year.
