So even though it wasn't December 25th, we had a lovely little (early) Christmas in the country.
It even snowed for us.
We bought clear glass ball ornaments, and painted them ourselves...
Then we all ventured out into the forest to cut down a wild Christmas tree.
Finding an appropriate tree in the wild is actually a lot more difficult than we expected. They're all so big and awkwardly shaped.
But that's part of the magic.
In the end we found a rather funny unique looking pine tree.
And we chopped it down to size.
We then made a little fire with the wood we brought with us,
and we celebrated with hot cocoa & cookies,
and of course, coffee with baileys : )
Even though it was oddly shaped, the tree ended up looking great.
And in the end it was a magical Christmas, despite it not actually being Christmas yet.

Looks like a perfect (non) christmas to me!
We used to cut down our own tree way back when. I do miss the fun of wandering around the woods looking for the perfect tree.
This looks like such a lovely day, I hope your actual christmas is as good as your pre christmas :)
