@ArraDreaming the adventures of stick man! i'm guessing stick man has avoided nicky? i imagine a game of fetch would be risky between them 😅

We do tend to decorate alot @rav3n my mum collects nutcrackers, I collect snow globes and my mum has a massive Christmas village set up. We have a bookcase that we usually clear off and set the Christmas village up on there. We also then have some lights outside. But this year we haven’t done the village or the outside lights, plus heaps of other inside decorations. We won’t be here so have just done the basics.
my step dad loved Christmas, so we try to keep all those traditions alive.
what about you?

oh my gosh that sounds so cool!! do you have pics of the Christmas village?
keeping the Christmas traditions and spirit alive for him is such a lovely way to honour your step dad @Bow
oh and you're off to Europe soon right!? when are you off?
i don't have any proper Christmas traditions, but i guess elf on the shelf is a new addition!
i do like watching Christmas movies and doing a Harry Potter rewatch during this time. already started listening to my christmas playlist & going to try find buy matching 'christmasy' clothes soon. oh i also drive around neighbourhoods to check out their christmas decorations!!

No I don’t have anything on my phone @rav3n but I’ll keep an eye out on my fb memories and I’ll share it if it comes up.
Yes we leave in 12 days! On the 18th. London for Christmas and NY and legoland and then Paris for a few days and Disneyland!
they are so great Christmas traditions @rav3n we love watching Christmas movies, always watch home alone. And we love matching pjs! I always head down to Peter Alexander during the Boxing Day sales. We got some cute Disney ones last year from there. And this year Kmart had some knitted sweaters that were Disney, so we got some of them too, perfect for a white Christmas! We try and do a drive around to look at the Christmas lights too.
