Christmas for me has always been about so much more than the presents. It’s the little traditions, the decorations coming out, the Christmas music, the same special things appearing year after year and all those ordinary moments that somehow end up becoming the memories you keep.

In Part 2, I’m sharing all the things I personally love doing to make December feel magical, from the December baskets I make for the children, Christmas Eve ideas and decorating the house, to family traditions, Christmas morning, table styling and all the little finishing touches.

There are 21 chapters altogether, including my favourite small businesses, different decorating styles, our children’s tree, homemade and personal gifts, low-cost ideas, Christmas jumpers, outdoor lights and even our Table Fairy tradition.

This isn’t a checklist of things you have to do. Take the ideas that suit your family, your home and your budget, leave the rest, and create the kind of Christmas that feels special to you.
