The Alternative Christmas

I love a bit of tradition but sometimes I just want to do Christmas with a bit of a slant to it. So here are some ideas and little things I have done to make Christmas a bit alternative.

I made a centrepiece of items I have collected this year for Ghost Furniture and not used as yet.

Make use of those old cake tins. OK so I have shown these on a previous Christmas post but they still look amazing.

I bought all the girls in the family a quirky bag that rolled up brilliantly so I could make them into Christmas Crackers. Trimmed with those bits and pieces I never throw away.

But you can't beat a good old traditional FESTIVE greeting. Have a ball each and everyone of you.
