This year, Christmas is going to be great. Low key, the day will be just my fantastic girls and I. After meeting friends on the beach in the morning for a glass of fizz, we will head home for a roast. Come dark we will be in pj’s on the sofa with tubs of ice-creams for a run of movies. I can’t wait. It’s the perfect Christmas after such a busy year.

I’m looking forward to styling my Christmas table with the girls in mind. The theme is fun, with homemade crackers filled with very girly handy items such as nail polish, lolly pops and hair bands. We’re having a roast of chicken with yorkshire puddings, a big favourite by us all, followed by pudding of chocolate mouse and pavlova, chosen by the girls. Happy Days, Happy Christmas!
