Christmas day! No more sleeps

I have a list of folks I know, all written in a book and every year at Christmas time I go and take a look and that is when I realized that these names are a part not of the book they’re written in, but of me and my heart. 

For each name, stands for someone who has crossed my path at sometime and in that meeting they’ve become the rhythm of the rhyme. And while it sounds fantastic for me to make this claim, I really feel I am composed of each remembered name, and while you may not be aware of any special link, just meeting you has shaped my life more than you can think, for once you’ve met somebody the years cannot erase the memory of a pleasant word or of a friendly face. 

So never think my Christmas greeting is just a mere routine of names upon a Christmas list, forgotten in between for when I am but a total of many folks I’ve met and you happen to be one of those I prefer not to forget and whether I have known you for many days or a few in some way you have a part in shaping things I do and every year when Christmas comes I realize a new the biggest gift life can give is meeting a person like you and may the spirit of Christmas that forever and ever endures leave it’s richest blessings in the heart of you and yours. 

Merry Christmas from me to all of you! Hope you all have a nice time over the holiday period. 

I will spend the holidays with my friends and family and I look forward to spending some time at home. I am looking forward to playing tourist in my own town and taking in the magical sites of the South Coast. I can not wait to  feel the fresh breeze in my hair and a nice glass of wine in hand, relaxing and rejuvenating. Just what is needed to get back into all the exciting things coming for the new year ahead. 

The Property tips and Styling blog, will take a break along with me and will be back with more tips and ideas on 16th January 2018. See you then!

Fresh flowers

Put them everywhere. They can hide a multitude of sins. To save yourself some money take a wonder through your garden, if you don't have any flowers try cutting some greenery. You will be surprised at how great the agapanthus leafs look in a vase, absolutely gorgeous.

Modern and Classy

Its hard to resist all the traditional Christmas trappings, but whilst your property is on the market during this period you must aim for an uncluttered classy looking home!

The tinsel has got to go as do the cards hanging in the Venetian blinds. Instead, why not consider some paper lanterns that match with your Xmas colour theme.

Go for a theme

You obviously still want to have some decorations up during the holidays even though your home is on the market. You just have to cut down on the decorations slightly and perhaps have a theme for the year. You could go for a colour or a texture, here are some inspirational images for you. Grey has been used as the main theme and it works a treat... don't you think?

Christmas Tip

Don't spend a fortune on Xmas table decorations, instead use some of your favourite objects around the home and give them a Christmas makeover.

For example tie some red ribbon around a favourite vase and make little place cards out of some left over wrapping paper.
