Fairy Lights… I LOVE them…. Going around to all the houses … Every year growing up we would completely decorate our house… we were the only one in the street and having my birthday 9 days before xmas I always felt extra special that the house was lit up.

5. Do you have any Christmas family traditions?

Carols by Candlelight…. If we don’t go to the carols we are all around the TV watching them… One year I lived in QLD and I was on the phone with my mum who was living in Melbourne

At My fiance’s Family Xmas party every year he dresses up as Santa… So now he is going to have a MRS CLAUSE… I will be dressing up and singing carols with the kids.. I am looking forward to officially being Santa’s wife soon and making this a yearly tradition…
